WARNINGS
Read, understand, and follow these instructions to ensure safe operation. Failure to observe these warnings can result in a 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 TI290 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, whiteboards, 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, the 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 the unit is turned off and wiped 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 the unit o return to normal operating conditions before use.
