6. BEFORE START OPERATION
6.1. Battery installation and replacement
Battery compartment is located inside the handle. Turn the cover
counter-clockwise to remove. Remove battery for replacement.
Insert the battery (the battery contacts must face into the battery
compartment).
Replace the cover and screw down.
CAUTION: Use only original manufacturer replacement battery. Use of incorrect
battery may result in physical or electrical damage to the instrument due to
incorrect voltage or physical size difference.
6.2. Replacement of the battery
When battery has approximately 5% charge remaining, the warning will be
displayed and the instrument will turn off in approximately 3 seconds.

8
Powering off display
It’s better to replace batteries now.
6.3. Battery safety and usage
Batteries should be stored in an ambient temperature of -4°F (–20°C) to
67.9°F (+20°C). Lithium batteries will self-discharge during storage, so they
should be fully charged before storage. Self-discharge may affect long term
battery performance. Furthermore, it is recommended that the battery
should be charged in a set time, as below;
Ambient temperature of:
-4°F (–20°C) to 67.9°F (+20°C), once every 6 months
67.9°F (+20°C) to 113°F (+45°C), once every 3 months
113°F (+45°C) to 149°F (+60°C), once every month
Battery should have greater than 50% charge prior to recharge.
The ambient temperature for charging should be 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (+40°C).
If under 32°F (0°C), the battery capacity will be diminished; if over 104°F
(+40°C), the battery may overheat, resulting in permanent damage.
WARNING:
Never disassemble, incinerate or puncture battery
Never short circuit the battery
Keep battery dry
Keep out of reach of children
Always dispose of battery in accordance with local, state and federal regulations

9. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Attention! This product is an accurate optical and electronic device and requires
delicate handling. If the device is given to somebody for temporary use, be sure to
enclose user manual to it.
It is prohibited to point the device at the sun and other sources of intense
radiation (for example, objects whose temperature exceeds +1000 ° C). It may
cause a serious damage of the sensor. The manufacturer is not responsible for this
type of damage of microbolometer detector.
The actual temperature of the object may differ from the measurement result of
the device. The examined surfaces may be potentially dangerous. Measured
objects or a measurement environment may also present a certain risk.
The user should follow the safety rules set by particular industry.
Observation of the following recommendations will extend the life of the
device:
