Safety information

1.1 Radio
WARNING
Applicability: Class B digital devices.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING
Applicability: Digital devices subject to 15.19/RSS-GEN.
NOTICE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
WARNING
Applicability: Digital devices subject to 15.21.
NOTICE: Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by FLIR Systems
may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
WARNING
Applicability: Digital devices subject to 2.1091/2.1093/KDB 447498/RSS-102.
Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information: The radiated output power of the device is far be-
low the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a man-
ner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.
WARNING
This device is granted pursuant to the Japanese Radio Law (電波法) and the Japanese Telecommuni-
cations Business Law (電気通信事業法). This device should not be modified (otherwise the granted
designation number will become invalid)
CAUTION
The 5 GHz band is only allowed for indoor use in Japan and Canada.
Note FLIR Systems AB declares that the radio equipment type FLIR Ex series is in
compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU.
Note Radio operates in standard 802.11 b/g/n in frequency range 2400-2480 MHz and
5150 – 5250 MHz with max output power 15 dBm.

1.2 Battery and charging
WARNING
If you do not obey these Warnings, an explosion or an ignition can occur. This can cause injury to per-
sons and damage to the equipment.
• Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery.
• Do not continue to charge the battery if it does not become charged in the specified charging time.
• Do not use the battery if there is an unusual smell from the battery, if the battery feels 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 into direct sunlight.
• Only use the battery in temperatures between -15°C and +40°C (5°F and 104°F)
• Only charge the battery in temperatures between 0°C and 45°C (32°F and 113°F), except for the Ko-
rean market where the approved range is between 10°C and 45°C (50°F and 113°F).
• Do not attach the battery directly to a car’s cigarette lighter socket. Use the adapter that FLIR Sys-
tems supplies.
• When the battery is worn, apply insulation to the terminals with adhesive tape or equivalent materi-
als before you discard it.
CAUTION
When you connect the power supply to a mains socket, select a socket that is easy to access. Should a
hazardous situation occur, you must be able to easily disconnect the power supply.
1.3 Handling and operation
CAUTION
If you do not obey these Cautions, damage to the equipment can occur.
• Make sure the beams from strong energy sources (for example, the sun or devices that emit laser
radiation) do not go into the camera lens or the viewfinder.
• Do not use the camera in temperatures more than 40°C (104°F).
• Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items.
• Be careful and do not use too much force when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has an anti-re-
flective coating which is easily damaged.
Note The encapsulation rating is only applicable when the cover for the connector
compartment is closed and locked in place and when the battery is correctly installed.
