SAFETY SUMMARY
• Read and follow all instructions
• Read all warnings
• Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
• All service must be provided by the manufacturer
WARNING:
This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause potentially fatal
allergic reactions! If you are allergic to latex, it is important that you strictly
avoid exposure to products that contain it.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• All electronic operation should be in strict compliance with the electrical
safety regulations, fire prevention regulations and other related regulations in
your local region.
• Please use the power adapter, which is provided by a proven manufacturer.
The power consumption cannot be less than the required value.
• Do not connect several devices to one power adapter as adapter overload
may cause over-heat or fire hazard.
• Do not drop the device or subject it to physical shock, and do not expose it to
high electromagnetism radiation. Avoid the device installation on vibrations
surface or places subject to shock (ignorance can cause equipment damage).
• Do not place the device in extremely hot (refer to the specification of the
device for the detailed operating temperature), cold, dusty or damp locations,
and do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.
• The device cover for indoor use should be kept from rain and moisture.
• Exposing the device to direct sun light, low ventilation or heat source such as
heater or radiator is forbidden (ignorance can cause fire danger).
• Do not aim the device at the sun or extra bright places. A blooming or smear
may occur otherwise (which is not a malfunction however), and affecting the
endurance of sensor at the same time.
• For long-term storage of the battery, make sure you fully charge it every 6
months, to ensure the battery quality. Otherwise, you may damage the battery.
NOTES:
The detector spectral band provides better visibility through smoke, dust, rain,
smog, etc.
Infrared radiation does not travel through glass. As a result, the monocular
does not detect objects if they are behind glass windows or other barriers.
