hot, changes
color, changes shape, or is in an unusual condition.
WARNING
If there is a leak from the battery and you get the fluid in your eyes, do not
rub your eyes. Flush well with water and immediately get medical care. The
battery fluid can cause injury to your eyes.
CAUTION
If you do not obey these Cautions, damage to the equipment can occur. · Only
use the battery, battery charger, and power supply that FLIR Systems supplies.
· Do not get water on the battery, or permit the battery to become wet. ·
Remove any water or moisture on the battery before you install it. · Do not
hit or cause shocks to the battery. · Do not connect the positive and negative
terminals of the battery to each other with a metal object
(such as wire). · Do not put the battery near high-temperature locations or

8.4 Thermal image adjustment
8.4.1 General
Thermal image adjustment, or thermal tuning, means adjusting the temperature
scale of a thermal image, in order to maximize the brightness and contrast in
the image.
In automatic mode, the camera continuously adjusts the image for the best
presentation. The camera selects the coldest and warmest temperatures in the
image as the lower and upper limits of the temperature scale. The colors are
then distributed over that temperature interval (histogram color
distribution).
In manual mode, you can adjust the temperature scale to values close to the
temperature of a specific object in the image. The colors are distributed
evenly from the lowest to the highest temperature (linear color distribution).
8.4.1.1 When to use manual mode
Here are two infrared images of a building. In the left image, which is auto-
adjusted, the large temperature span between the clear sky and the heated
building makes a correct analysis difficult. You can analyze the building in
more detail if you change the temperature scale to values close to the
temperature of the building.

· The iron palette is intuitive and also easy to understand for those without
much experience in thermography. It offers a good balance between geometric
and thermal resolution.
· Gray tones are particularly suited to resolving small geometric details, but
are less suited to displaying small differences in temperature.
· The rainbow palette is more colorful and alternates between light and dark
colors. This results in greater contrast, but this can lead to a noisy image
for objects with different surfaces or many temperatures.

8.7 Measurement parameters
For accurate temperature measurements, it is important to use appropriate
measurement parameters:
· Emissivity: The emissivity determines how much of the radiation originates
from the object as opposed to being reflected by it.
· Reflected temperature: This parameter is used to compensate for the
radiation from the surroundings reflected by the object into the camera.
· Relative humidity: The relative humidity of the air between the camera and
the object of interest.
· Atmospheric temperature: The temperature of the air between the camera and
the object of interest.
· Distance: The distance between the camera and the object of interest.
Note During normal operation there is typically no need to change the default
measurement parameters, see section 8.7.2 Recommended values, page 23.
8.7.1 Setting measurement parameters
Emissivity is the most important measurement parameter to set correctly. If
the Emissivity is set to a low value, the Reflected temperature also becomes
important. The parameters Relative humidity, Atmospheric temperature, and
Distance are relevant for longer distances.
