1. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Before using the camera, make sure that you have read and understood the

safety precautions described below. Make sure that the camera is used correctly.

Please refer to this manual each time you encounter a hazard symbol. To avoid

exposure to laser radiation, injury, or damage to the device, and be sure that you

use the camera in a risk-free way, observe the safety recommendations given

below:

Do not look directly into the laser beam. Do not point the laser beam at

people.

Do not use the instrument other than for its intended purpose; keep it out

of reach of children and make sure that it is never treated as a toy.

Do not aim the device towards the sun or other source of intense heat.

Use only the recommended batteries and accessories. Do not leave the

device connected to mains when not necessary.

Avoid problems due to condensation.

Moving the I.R. camera rapidly from a cold to a warm place can cause

condensation (droplets of water) to form on its outside and inside surfaces.

You can avoid this problem by placing the camera in the plastic case and letting it

warm slowly to the ambient temperature before removing it from the case.

•When you switch on the camera, wait 10 to 15 minutes before recording

your first thermograms, to be certain that the camera's temperature has

stabilized and that your measurements are correct.

•Focus the lens correctly according to the distance to the target to be

inspected.

•In certain specific conditions only, this device may be sensitive to

electrostatic discharges (ESD).

3. PREPARING THE IR CAMERA

3.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY

Proceed as follows to charge the battery for the first time, and thereafter when the

"battery low" icon appears on the screen.

Align the edge of the battery pack

with the line marked on the

battery, then insert it in the

direction shown by the arrow.

Connect the mains cord to

the battery charger and the

plug at the other end to a

wall outlet.

The charging indicator lights up

red during charging of the battery

and turns green when the battery

is fully charged.

After recharging, disconnect the

battery charger and remove the

battery pack.

•The battery is a lithium ion battery, and so does not have to be

completely discharged before it is recharged. It can be recharged

at any time. However, since the life span of the battery is

approximately 300 charging cycles, we recommend charging the

battery only when it has been completely discharged, so that it will

last longer.

•The recharging time varies with the ambient relative humidity

and the battery charge condition.
