PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

The product is a handheld thermal infrared camera for temperature measurement. It has 10,800 effective IR pixels; is configured with laser, illuminating lights, and visible light; can be connected to PCs and TF cards, and meets various use requirements.

IMPORTANT

This is a general manual covering multiple thermal cameras of a product line, so some functions and descriptions in the manual may not apply to specific thermal cameras.

FCC Warning

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against hand interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates. uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. may cause hand interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception. which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

PRECAUTIONS

Please always follow the following precautions strictly:

1. Keep the device as stable as possible to prevent shaking violently.

2. Do not use the device at operating temperatures not allowed nor place it in an environment at a storage temperature not allowed.

3. Do not align the device with strong thermal emitters, such as the sun, lasers, and spot welders.

4. Do not expose the device to a dusty or moist environment. Prevent water from splashing onto the device when using it in an environment with water. Cover the lens when not using the device.

5. Place the device and all its accessories into a special packing box when not using it.

6. Do not block any holes in the device.

7. Do not knock at, throw or vibrate the device or its accessories so as to prevent damage.

8. Please do not disassemble the device so as to prevent it from being damaged possibly and you from losing your warranty.

9. Do not use the TF card for other purposes.

10. Do not use the device in an environment exceeding its operating temperature so as to prevent possible damages.

11. Do not apply the dissolvable or similar liquid to the device and cables so as to prevent possible damage.

12. The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery so users must follow the following precautions strictly in order to use it safely:
    • 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.
    • Once the liquid leaked from the battery enters the eyes, flush the eyes with clear water immediately and take corresponding medical care. Please charge the battery as introduced in the manual and follow the charging steps and precautions. Wrong charging may heat or damage the battery or even cause injuries. Pull out the battery if the device will not be used for a long time.

13. Wipe the device as described below
    • Non-optical surfaces: Use a clean and soft cloth to wipe non-optical surfaces of the thermal camera when necessary.
    • Optical surfaces: Please avoid staining the optical surface of the lens when using the thermal camera, especially avoid touching the lens with your hands since the sweat on the hands may leave traces on the lens and corrode the optical coating on the lens surface. When the optical lens surface is stained, wipe it with special lens wiping paper.

Precautions for use of batteries:

1. The battery can be charged repeatedly. However, the battery is a vulnerable part. If the standby time of the device is largely shortened, please replace its battery with an original one provided by the company.
2. If the device operates for a long time, especially at high temperatures, its surface will warm up normally. When it is hot, please stop charging it and move it to the shade. Please avoid touching hot surfaces for a long time.
3. When charging the device, it is suggested to use original batteries and charge cables provided by the company.
4. Battery charging time varies with temperatures and its use.
5. When the battery level is low, the system will give a low battery level prompt.
6. When the battery level is too low, the system will be turned off automatically.
7. If the device gives no response when the power button is pressed, the battery has been run out and the device can be launched only after being charged with an original charger for more than 10 minutes.
