LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is two years and begins on the date of
shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and
does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly
recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on
behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke
reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke
authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a
description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to
Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition of
operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an
estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will
be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and
exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent
jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Before you use the Imager for the first time, charge the
battery for a minimum of 2.5 hours. The battery status
shows on the four-segment charge indicator.
Warning
To prevent personal injury, do not put battery
cells and battery packs near heat or fire. Do
not put in sunlight.
Note
New batteries are not fully charged. Two to ten
charge/discharge cycles are necessary before the
battery charges to its maximum capacity.
To charge the battery, use one of the options that follow:
Two-Bay Battery Charger Base
1. Connect the ac power supply to the ac wall outlet and
connect the dc output to the charger base.
2. Put one or two smart batteries into bays of charger
base.
3. Charge batteries until charge indicators show “full.”
4. Remove smart batteries and disconnect the power
supply when batteries are fully charged.

On-Imager AC Power Socket
1. Connect the ac power adapter into an ac wall outlet
and connect the dc output to the Imager’s external
power socket. ,flashes on the display while the
battery charges with the ac power adapter.
2. Charge until the charge indicator on the display does
not flash.
3. Disconnect ac power adapter when the smart battery
is fully charged.
Note
Make sure that the Imager is near room
temperature before you connect it to the charger.
See the charging temperature specification. Do
not charge in hot or cold areas. When you charge
the battery in extreme temperatures, battery
capacity may be decreased.
shows in the lower left-hand corner of the display
when the Imager is connected to external power and the
battery is removed. When the Imager’s power is off and
the ac power adapter is connected, ,flashes in the
center of the display to show that the battery charge is in
process.
Keep the Imager attached to the charger until the ,icon
shows a full charge. If you remove the Imager from the
charger before a full charge shows, it may have a reduced
run-time.
Note
When the battery is connected to ac power or the
unit is in video mode, the Sleep Mode/Auto Off
feature is disabled automatically.
Optional 12 V Vehicle Charger
1. Connect the 12 V adapter into the 12 V accessory
socket of the vehicle.
2. Connect the output to the external power socket of the
Imager.
3. Charge until the indicator until the ,icon shows a
full charge on the screen.
4. Disconnect the 12 V adapter and Imager when battery
is fully charged.
Caution
To prevent damage to the Imager, remove the
Imager from the 12 V vehicle charger before
you start or jump start the vehicle.

Power On and Off
To turn on or turn off the Imager, push and hold for
>3 seconds. The Imager has Power Save and Auto Off
features. For more information about how to set these
features, see Settings Menu.
Note
All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time
for the most accurate temperature measurements
and best image quality. This time can often vary
by model and by environmental conditions.
Although most imagers are fully warmed up in 3-5
minutes, it is always best to wait a minimum of
10 minutes if the most accurate temperature
measurement is important to your application.
When you move the Imager between
environments with large differences in ambient
temperature, more adjustment time can be
required.
The Imager includes a calibration on-demand feature that
causes a calibration event to occur when you press 
once briefly during operation. This feature provides the
best accuracy and avoids disruption of a timing-sensitive
image capture by the next automatic calibration.
Controls for Image Capture
The two-part trigger is located in the standard trigger
position for a pistol-grip device. The larger, green trigger is
the primary trigger. The smaller, black trigger is the
secondary trigger.
In normal operation (video is off), the function of the
primary trigger is to capture a thermal image for possible
storage to memory by the user. When video is on, the
primary trigger is the start/stop for video recording.
The secondary trigger operates the laser on supported
models.
Laser Pointer
The TiS45, TiS50, TiS55, TiS60, and TiS65 models
include a laser pointer. The laser pointer is a sighting aid
and is offset from the infrared camera. As a result, it may
not always represent the exact center of the infrared or
visible image.
The laser dot does not appear on an infrared-only image,
but does on visible-only or AutoBlend images. The laser
dot cannot be seen in the visible channel of the IR-Fusion
image if obscured by the center point marker graphic.
Pull the secondary trigger to turn on laser pointer, release
the secondary trigger to turn off the laser pointer.
