The delivery set includes the monocular itself, a case for it and a charging device [2] . It is possible to power the device in two modes - from an internal source or from an on-board network with a voltage of 12 or 27 volts [2] . When working with external power, the batteries of the device are automatically recharged [2] . For ease of use, the lid of the monocular is equipped with a forehead made of soft material, and he himself has a neck and side straps.
