Usage Precautions
The following precautions should be taken in order to prevent damage or misuse:
•The recommended continuous ambient operating temperature for the FL360 ranges from -10° C to 60° C.
The system is designed to operate at this temperature indefinitely. If necessary, however, the system can
be operated at higher or lower temperatures for short periods of time.
Note that at temperatures below 0° C, changes in system operation may occur.
•Avoid leaving FL360 in direct sunlight when not in use.
•Never use the provided coiled tethering cable to support the full weight of the camera. Use rescue rope
and the provided eye hook as a means to lower FL360 into a space.
•Do not expose the device to physical stress or impact.
•Always use manufacturer-approved batteries, chargers, accessories, and supplies only.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer will void
the warranty and could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety Precautions
•Only use the FL360 system in a safe manner.
•It is important to understand and follow all standard operating procedures, safety precautions and
practices when conducting rescue operations of any kind.
•Rescue Personnel should always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when conducting
operations.
•Operating at the scene of a structure collapse is inherently dangerous. Rescuers require skill, experience,
training, and adherence to their organization's safety protocols and procedures to minimize risk and work
safely and successfully in this environment.
•Rescue personnel should address any safety concerns to their Incident Commander or Safety Officer and
follow their superior’s instructions while working at the rescue scene.
•Rescuers that have not been appropriately trained or have insufficient experience should not attempt
activities that could result in injury to themselves or others.
Heat Precautions
The FL360 Camera heatsink (see picture below) will become warm when operated for long periods or in areas
with limited airflow. This is normal as the on-board processor within the camera uses the heatsink to dissipate
heat in order to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operation of FL360.
The maximum recommended continuous ambient operating temperature for the FL360 is 140° F (60° C). The
camera is designed to operate at this temperature indefinitely. The system can be operated at higher
temperatures when necessary, but only for short periods of time.
To prevent overexposure to heat, avoid leaving the system in direct sunlight when not in use.
Electrical Safety
The FL360 Camera will conduct electricity. Please do not operate the camera in the vicinity of or during an
electrical storm. Avoid contact with any live sources of electrical power. Ensure that the working area is safe,
and all sources of power have been disconnected or made safe before conducting rescue operations. Take all
precautions necessary to avoid electrocution, which could result in serious injury or death.
Hazardous Atmospheres
The FL360 Camera is not certified for use in atmospheres that contain flammable, combustible, conductive or
explosive agents; or in atmospheres that contain contaminants such as fumes, dusts, mists etc. Please ensure
that the working environment is free of flammable gases or liquids before operating the camera. Operating
the camera within these hazardous environments could cause an explosion.
It is important to follow all safety protocols and procedures relating to potentially hazardous atmospheres and
areas.

Batteries and Battery Chargers - Warnings
The usage of batteries is at your own risk. Before handling, ensure any user has appropriate understanding of
the charging, discharging, and installing of lithium ion batteries. Agility Technologies Corporation is not
responsible for any damage caused by misuse or mishandling of li-ion batteries and/or chargers.
Make sure to:
•Only use approved Battery Cells recommended specifically by the manufacturer for use in the FL360.
Failure to do so could damage the camera or cause some or all of the camera functions to fail. Each FL360
Battery lithium ion cell is equipped with a protection circuit to increase safety and to minimize the
potential for risk. Nevertheless, the misuse or mishandling of lithium ion rechargeable batteries can pose a
serious risk of personal injury or property damage.
•Use caution when working with lithium ion batteries as they are very sensitive to charging characteristics
and may explode or burn if mishandled or misused. For this reason, do not store FL360 batteries (18650) in
or near objects that will produce a static electric charge. Very quick pressure changes can cause 18650
batteries to malfunction.
•Always charge on a fireproof surface.
•Charge only in a recommended smart charger designed for this specific type of lithium ion battery.
•Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
•Recharge drained batteries as soon as possible.
•Do not short-circuit batteries.
•Do not mix and match old, new, used, and unused batteries.
•Never leave batteries unattended while charging.
•Always take the batteries out of the camera body when the FL360 Camera is not in use.
•Do not expose batteries to extreme heat or moisture.
•Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Regulations and laws pertaining to the recycling and disposal of lithium
ion batteries vary from country to country as well as by state and local government. Please consult your
local jurisdiction regarding appropriate disposal. Note that many retail stores offer free recycling of
rechargeable batteries.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances are UNPROTECTED lithium-ion cells to be used in the FL360. These could
irreparably damage the onboard electronics and image sensors. Damage caused by unauthorized batteries will
void the manufacturer's warranty of the FL360.
