---|---|---
Start failure| Low battery| Start the device after charging for 10 minutes
The plug of the external power supply is not plugged in place| Unplug, reconnect and push it into place
Battery life has expired| Replace the battery with a new one
Infrared image is not clear| The lens is covered with water vapor or contam- inated| Clean the lens with dedicated device
Visible light image is not clear| The environment is too dark| Take proper lighting measures
Water vapor or contam- ination in the front end of visible light| Clean the visible light front end with dedicated device
Inaccurate temperature measurement| The parameters related to temperature mea- surement are not set correctly| Change the parameter settings or restore the default parame- ter values directly
Measure temperature immediately after startup| To ensure the accuracy of temperature measurement, we recommend to start temperature measurement after 5 ~ 10 minutes when the device is turned on

IMPORTANT
This manual is a general manual covering multiple thermographic cameras in a product line, which means that some functions and instructions are not applicable to certain model ofthermographic camera.
NOTES
Please strictly observe the following rules at all times:

The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery so users should strictly observe the following precautions:

Never try to open or dismantle the battery.
Do not place the battery in a high temperature environment or nearby a high temperature object.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Do not put the battery in a moist environment or in the water.
If battery fluid comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with clean water and seek medical attention.
Please charge the battery as directed in the manual and follow charging instructions and precautions. Wrong charging may heat or damage the battery or even cause injuries.
Take out the battery if the device will not be used for a long time.

Please observe the following rules when wiping the device:

Non-optical surface: if necessary, wipe the non-optical surface of the thermographic camera with a clean and soft cloth.
Optical surface: when using the thermographic camera, please avoid soiling the optical surface of the lens, especially avoid touching the lens with your hands, because the optical coating on the glass surface may be corroded due to sweat on the hands. When the optical lens surface is contaminated, use special lens cloth to carefully clean it.

Battery precautions:

The battery can be charged repeatedly. However, the battery is a vulnerable part. IIf the device’s standby time is significantly reduced, replace the battery with a new one.
If the device is operated for a long time, especially at high temperatures, its surface will become hot. When it warms up, stop using it and put it in the shade. Do not touch hot surfaces for a long time.
When charging the device, it is recommended to use original batteries and charging cables.
The battery charging time depends on the temperature and its wear and tear. 5. When the battery level is low, the device will display low battery message.
When the battery level is too low, the device will automatically turn off. 7. If the device does not turn on when you press the power button,means the battery is dead and the device can be started only after charging with the charger for more than 10 minutes.
