WARNINGS
Read, understand, and follow these instructions to ensure safe operation. Failure to observe these warnings can result in risk of fire or electric shock. Keep these instructions for future reference.
- DO NOT use the product if it is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or injury.
- Risk of fire and burns. DO NOT open, crush, heat above specified maximum temperature or incinerate. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can result in elevated temperatures.
- If the battery’s internal temperature gets too high, the unit will shut down until the internal temperature is lowered.
- DO NOT expose to moisture, rain, or snow.
- DO NOT subject to impacts or drops greater than 6.6 ft. (2 m). Drops larger than this may not show signs of damage, but internal components may have been compromised. It is advisable to replace the unit if any such severe events occur.
- There are no user-serviceable parts inside. DO NOT open or attempt to repair.
CAUTION
- BURN HAZARD. Reflective materials may have a higher actual temperature than the measured temperature. Set emissivity to match the object being measured (see Emissivity section).
- Do not point the camera at the sun or any other strong energy source. This can affect the accuracy of the camera or cause damage to the sensor.

EMISSIVITY
Emissivity is a measure of the ability of a surface to emit thermal energy by
radiation. Different types of surfaces (metals, masonry, wood, etc.) emit
thermal energy through radiation at different efficiencies. Accordingly, these
materials have different emissivity coefficients which must be considered in
order to make accurate measurements with an infrared thermometer. Emissivity
on the TI270 may be adjusted from 0.01 to 0.99 to enable accurate measurement
of the temperature of most types of materials. Generally speaking, shiny
bright surfaces such as chrome, white boards, etc. exhibit lower emissivity
than flat black materials. For guidance only, the chart below may be used to
estimate emissivity for many different types of materials. However, the
emissivity of surfaces is dependent upon many parameters such as surface
finish, temperature, shape of the object, etc.
This chart should be used for guidance only.
Find a comprehensive list of emissivity values in the app’s FAQ section or visit www.kleintools.com/emissivity.
CLEANING
Be sure unit is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
STORAGE
Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow unit to return to normal operating conditions before using.
