Note: Two batteries can be charged at the same time: the second slot is designed for it.
Safety Measures

  • Use this battery charger to charge the battery pack only. Otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the battery pack or charger and even may cause fire.

  • Before a long storage time, the battery pack should be partially charged, not fully charged or discharged.

  • Do not charge the battery immediately after you bring it from the cold to the warm. Wait 30 to 40 minutes for it to warm up.

  • Do not use the charger if it is modified or damaged.

  • The device should be charged at a temperature of 0°C ~ +45°C. Otherwise the battery life will be significantly reduced.

  • When charging, please don’t leave the battery unattended.

  • Do not expose the battery to high temperature or open flame.

  • Do not immerse the battery in water.

  • The battery pack has short circuit protection. But situations that may lead to short circuits should be avoided.

  • Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours after it is already fully charged.

  • It is not recommended to connect third-party devices that consume more power than allowed.

  • Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack without professional instructions. Do not knock or drop the battery pack.
    The recommended operating temperature for the device is 20°C ~ +50°C. Do not use the device beyond this temperature range, which may shorten the battery life.

  • When the device is used under sub-zero temperature, the battery capacity drops, which is normal and does not indicate a defect.

  • Please keep the battery pack out of the reach of children.

EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
Finder II series supports external power supply, such as the portable power source (5V).

  • Connect the external power supply to the Type-C port (13) of the device.
  • The device will automatically switch to the external power supply and charge the battery pack (8) at the same time.
  • At this time, the battery icon on the display will become to the charging icon and the power indicator will turn red, and then turn green after the battery is fully charged.
  • If an external power supply is connected, but no battery pack is installed, the battery icon will become a USB icon and the power indicator will turn green.
  • When the external power supply is disconnected, Finder II series will automatically switch to the battery pack power supply and will not shut down.

TECHNICAL INSPECTION
A technical inspection of the device is recommended before use.

  • Check the external appearance of the device (there should be no cracks in the casing).
  • Check the condition of the lens and eyepiece (there should be no cracks, greasy spots, dirt or other deposits)
  • Check the condition of the rechargeable battery (this should be charged) and the electrical contracts (there should be no presence of salts or oxidation).

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should be carried out at least twice a year and consist of the following actions.

  • Wipe the external surfaces of metal and plastic parts free of dust and dirt with a cotton cloth. Silicone grease may be used for this.
  • Clean the electrical contacts of the battery and battery slot on the unit using a non-greasy organic solvent.
  • Check the glass surfaces of the eyepiece and the lens. If necessary, remove dust and sand from the lenses (preferably using a non-contact method). Cleaning of the external surfaces of the optics should be done with substances designed specially for this purpose.

TROUBLESHOOTING

This table lists all the problems that may arise when operating the device. Carry out the recommended checks and repairs in the order shown in the table. If a defect should occur that is not listed in the table, or if it is impossible to repair the defect yourself, the device should be returned for repair.

Malfunction Possible reason Correction
Thermal imager does not be powered on. Battery completely discharged Charge

the battery
Does not operate from external power source.| USB cable damaged| Replace USB cable
External power source discharged| Charge external power source (if necessary).
Malfunction| Possible reason| Correction
---|---|---
Image is unclear, with vertical lines
and uneven background.| Calibration required| Perform image calibration according to Section  Calibrationʼ of the Manual.
The image is too dark.| Low brightness level set.| Adjust display brightness.
Colored lines appeared on display or the
image has disappeared.| The device was exposed to static electricity during operation.| After exposure to static electricity, the device may either
reboot automatically or require turning off and on again.
Poor image quality/ reduced detection
distance| These problems may occur during observation in difficult weather conditions(snow, rain, fog, etc. ).
Smartphone or tablet cannot be
connected to the device| The device password has been changed.| Delete the network and reconnect using the device
password
The device is in an area with a large number of Wi-Fi networks that may cause interference.| To ensure stable Wi-Fi operation, relocate the device
to an area with fewer Wi-Fi networks, or into an
area with none.
Malfunction| Possible reason| Correction
---|---|---
Wi-Fi signal non existent or interrupted| Possible reason The device is outside   he area of Wi-Fi coverage. There are obstacles between the  evice and the receiver (e.g. concrete  alls.)| Relocate the device into direct line of sight  f the Wi-Fi signal.
When used in low-temperature conditions, the image quality of  the surroundings is worse than in  positive temperature conditions.| In positive temperature conditions, objects being observed (surroundings and background) heat up differently because of thermal conductivity, thereby generating a high-temperature contrast. Accordingly, the image quality  roduced by the device will be higher.  In low-temperature conditions, objects being observed (background) do, as a ule, cool down to roughly the same temperature because of which temperature contrast is substantially reduced  nd   he image quality (detail) ispoorer. This is a feature of thermal imaging  evices.
