PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions shall be strictly followed at any time:

1. Keep the equipment in use stably to the greatest extent and avoid violent shaking.
2. Do not use or store the instrument in an environment exceeding the allowable operating temperature or storage temperature of equipment.
3. Do not directly align the equipment at high-intensity heat radiation sources, such as the sun, lasers and spot welders.
4. Do not expose the equipment to the environments with dust or damp. The instrument shall be avoided from water during the use in an environment with water. The instrument not in use shall be covered with lens cap.
5. The instrument and all accessories shall be placed in the dedicated packaging box if the equipment is not used.
6. Do not block the holes on the equipment.
7. Do not tap, throw or shake the instrument and accessories to avoid damage.
8. Do not disassemble this machine by yourself, which may damage the equipment and cause the void warranty rights.
9. Do not use the equipment in an environment exceeding its operating temperature, which may damage the equipment.
10. Soluble or similar liquids are not allowed in the equipment, which may damage the equipment.
11. The following measures shall be taken when wiping the equipment:
    • Non-optical surface: When necessary, the non-optical surface of thermal camera can be wiped by the clean and soft cloth.
    • Optical surface: The optical surface of lens shall be prevented from pollution when using the thermal camera. Particularly, the lens cannot be touched by hands, as the sweat on hands will leave marks on the lens glass and may corrode the optical coated layer on the glass surface. The polluted surface of optical lens (if any) shall be wiped carefully with dedicated lens paper.

PRODUCT COMPONENTS

BASIC OPERATION

Photographing and Video Recording
On the real-time observation interface, short press the “Trigger” to freeze the image, and select the corresponding button to save or cancel based on the prompt on the current interface.

On the real-time observation interface, long press the “Trigger” to record videos. After recording, short press the “Trigger” or “Menu” to save videos.

Gallery
On the real-time observation interface, press the “Menu” to enter the menu, select “Gallery”, and then press the “Menu” to enter the gallery, displaying: View Pictures, View Videos, and Delete All.
Users may select the corresponding menu for operation based on their own needs.

Dimming Mode
On the real-time observation interface, long press the “Menu” until the symbol [A] is shown at the top left of screen for dimming mode setting. Three dimming modes are available in this machine, i.e. automatic dimming (A), semi- automatic dimming (S), and manual dimming (M).

1. After long pressing the “Menu” for dimming mode setting, switch A-S-M successively by short pressing the “Up/Down”.
2. The ΔT value is adjustable through S as the semi-automatic dimming mode. In the S mode, short press the “Up/Down” to select the value to be adjusted. Select the up arrow, and short press the “Menu” to increase the ΔT value. Select the down arrow, and short press the “Menu” to decrease the ΔT value.
3. The Tmax and Tmin values are adjustable through M as the semi-automatic dimming mode. In the M mode, short press the “Up/Down” to select the value to be adjusted. Select the up arrow, and short press the “Menu” to simultaneously increase the Tmax and Tmin values. Select the down arrow, and short press the “Menu” to simultaneously decrease the Tmax and Tmin values. Select the left arrow, and short press the “Menu” to increase the Tmin value and to decrease the Tmax value. Select the right arrow, and short press the “Menu” to increase the Tmax value and to decrease the Tmin value.
4. A is the automatic dimming mode. The value depends on the real-time scenario to be shot, and cannot be manually adjusted.
5. Short pressure the “Return” to save and quit.

Image Mode
On the real-time observation interface, short press the “Up/Down” to select the image mode. There are four image modes available in this machine, i.e. IR (infrared) mode, VL (visible light) mode, MIF (fusion) mode and PIP (picture in picture) mode.

Super-resolution Mode
On the real-time observation interface, press the “Menu” to enter the first- level menu. Short press the “Up/Down” to select the super-resolution mode switch, and short press the “Menu” to enable/shut down the super-resolution mode.
