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
Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
WARNING
Do not point the camera at the face of a person when the continuous autofocus function is on. The cam-
era uses laser distance measurements (that are continuous) for the focus adjustments. The laser beam
can cause eye irritation.
WARNING
Do not point the camera at the face of a person when you use the autofocus function. You can set the
camera to use a laser distance measurement for the focus adjustment. The laser beam can cause eye
irritation.
WARNING
Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devi-
ces which, if damage occurs, can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or an ignition.
#T810587; r. AC/84076/84376; en-US 2

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 if you do not do
this.
WARNING
Do not continue to charge the battery if it does not become charged in the specified charging time. If
you continue to charge the battery, it can become hot and cause an explosion or ignition. Injury to per-
sons can occur.
WARNING
Only use the correct equipment to remove the electrical power from the battery. If you do not use the
correct equipment, you can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery. If you do not use
the correct equipment, an incorrect flow of current to the battery can occur. This can cause the battery
to become hot, or cause an explosion. Injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
Make sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and warning labels on con-
tainers before you use a liquid. The liquids can be dangerous. Injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Do not point the infrared camera (with or without the lens cover) at strong energy sources, for example,
devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the
camera. It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera.
CAUTION
Do not use the camera in temperatures more than +50°C (+122°F), unless other information is specified
in the user documentation or technical data. High temperatures can cause damage to the camera.
CAUTION
Do not attach the batteries directly to a car’s cigarette lighter socket, unless FLIR Systems supplies a
specific adapter to connect the batteries to a cigarette lighter socket. Damage to the batteries can
occur.
CAUTION
Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to each other with a metal
object (such as wire). Damage to the batteries can occur.
CAUTION
Do not get water or salt water on the battery, or permit the battery to become wet. Damage to the bat-
teries can occur.
CAUTION
Do not make holes in the battery with objects. Damage to the battery can occur.
CAUTION
Do not hit or cause shocks to the battery. Damage to the battery can occur.
CAUTION
Do not put the batteries in or near a fire, or into direct sunlight. When the battery becomes hot, the built-
in safety equipment becomes energized and can stop the battery charging procedure. If the battery be-
comes hot, damage can occur to the safety equipment and this can cause more heat, damage or igni-
tion of the battery.

CAUTION
Do not put the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature locations. Damage to the bat-
tery and injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Do not solder directly onto the battery. Damage to the battery can occur.
CAUTION
Do not use the battery if, when you use, charge, or put the battery in storage, there is an unusual smell
from the battery, the battery feels hot, changes color, changes shape, or is in an unusual condition.
Speak with your sales office if one or more of these problems occurs. Damage to the battery and injury
to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Only use a specified battery charger when you charge the battery. Damage to the battery can occur if
you do not do this.
CAUTION
Only use a specified battery for the camera. Damage to the camera and the battery can occur if you do
not do this.
CAUTION
The temperature range through which you can charge the battery is ±0°C to +45°C (+32°F to +113°F),
except for the Korean market where the approved range is +10°C to + 45°C (+50°F to +113°F). If you
charge the battery at temperatures out of this range, it can cause the battery to become hot or to break.
It can also decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery.
CAUTION
The temperature range through which you can remove the electrical power from the battery is -15°C to
+50°C (+5°F to +122°F), unless other information is specified in the user documentation or technical
data. If you operate the battery out of this temperature range, it can decrease the performance or the life
cycle of the battery.
CAUTION
When the battery is worn, apply insulation to the terminals with adhesive tape or equivalent materials
before you discard it. Damage to the battery and injury to persons can occur if you do not do this.
CAUTION
Remove any water or moisture on the battery before you install it. Damage to the battery can occur if
you do not do this.
CAUTION
Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items. Damage to the bat-
tery and injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has an anti-reflective coating which is easily dam-
aged. Damage to the infrared lens can occur.
CAUTION
Do not use too much force to clean the infrared lens. This can cause damage to the anti-reflective
coating.

3.8 Disposal of electronic waste
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains materials, components and substan-
ces that may be hazardous and present a risk to human health and the environment
when waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is not handled correctly.
Equipment marked with the below crossed-out wheeled bin is electrical and electronic
equipment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment should not be discarded together with unseparated household waste,
but must be collected separately.
For this purpose all local authorities have established collection schemes under which
residents can dispose waste electrical and electronic equipment at a recycling centre or
other collection points, or WEEE will be collected directly from households. More de-
tailed information is available from the technical administration of the relevant local
authority.

Quick start guide

Follow this procedure:
1. Put a battery into the battery compartment.
2. Connect the USB battery charger to the USB connector at the top of the camera.
3. Charge the battery for 2 hours before starting the camera for the first time.
4. Insert a memory card into the card slot at the top of the camera.
Note Empty or use a memory card that has not previously been used in another
type of camera. The cameras may organize files differently on the memory card.
There is therefore a risk of losing data if the same memory card is used in different
types of cameras.
5. Push the on/off button to turn on the camera.
6. Follow the instructions on the camera screen to configure your camera. You can, for
example, select the language, units, and date and time formats.
You can also set up the camera to upload images for storage online. To enable up-
load of images, you need to connect the camera to a Wi-Fi network and pair the cam-
era with a FLIR Ignite account. Use a computer or other device with internet access
and follow the instructions on the camera screen.
Note You can do all the settings as a part of the initial setup of the camera or later
at any time via the Settings menu.
7. To enable automatic upload of images, select (Settings), sign in to FLIR Ignite,
and set the Auto upload switch to On.
8. Aim the camera toward the object of interest.
9. Adjust the infrared camera focus by rotating the focus ring.
Note It is very important to adjust the focus correctly. Incorrect focus adjustment af-
fects how the image modes work. It also affects the temperature measurement.
10. Pull the trigger to save an image.
11. If automatic upload is enabled, new images will automatically be uploaded to your
FLIR Ignite account when the camera is connected to the internet. You can also up-
load images manually. To access your FLIR Ignite account, go to https://ignite.flir.com.
You can also move images from the camera using the USB cable or the memory card.
12. Import the images into a FLIR Thermography software and create an inspection
report.
5.1 To keep in mind
• Adjust the focus first. When the camera is out of focus, the measurement will be
wrong.
• By default, most cameras adapt the scale automatically. Use this mode first, but do
not hesitate to set the scale manually.
• A thermal camera has a resolution limit. This depends on the size of the detector, the
lens, and the distance to the target. Use the center of the spot tool as a guide to the
minimum possible object size, and get closer if necessary. Make sure to stay away
from dangerous areas and live electrical components.
• Be careful when holding the camera perpendicular to the target. Be observant of re-
flections, especially at low emissivities—you, the camera, or the surroundings may be-
come the main source of reflection.
• Select a zone of high emissivity, e.g., an area with a matte surface, to perform a
measurement.
• Blank objects, i.e., those with low emissivities, may appear warm or cold in the cam-
era, because they mainly reflect the environment.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the details that you are inspecting.
• Various types of faults, e.g., those in a building’s construction, may result in the same
type of thermal pattern.
