NOTE provides useful information to the operator.
Important Information –Read before using the Instrument
WARNING –Laser Radiation is emitted from this device. Do Not stare
into Laser Beam. Class 2 Laser, 635 nm, 0.9mW
CAUTION - Never point the lens directly toward a strong radiation source
(ie. Sun, direct or reflected laser beam, etc ), with power on or power off, as
damage may result to the thermal detector used inside. Permanent
damage may result!
CAUTION - The original shipping carton should be kept for use for future
transportation. Do not drop, shake or impact the thermal imager
excessively, in use or during transportation.
CAUTION - Store the unit in its original case in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area away from strong electromagnetic fields.
CAUTION - Protect the surface of the lens from being stained or damaged
by foreign objects such as sludge or chemicals. Please replace the lens cap
after use.
CAUTION - Please remember to backup image data regularly to avoid
losing important data.
NOTE - For maximum measurement accuracy, allow 3 to 5 minutes for

3
camera to stabilize after initial power up.
NOTE - Each camera is factory calibrated. It is recommended that
calibration be performed every 12 months.
CAUTION - Do not open case. Unit does not contain any user serviceable

3Basic operation
3.1 Battery Installation and Replacement
3.1.1 Inserting or removing battery
Battery compartment is located at the end of the camera, below the view
finder.
Insert the battery (the battery contacts must face into the battery
compartment), press battery in until the battery is locked in place.
When inserting the battery, note the triangle mark’s direction should point
upwards, do not overexert when inserting the battery, this can cause damage
the camera or battery
Triangle
mark up

16
! 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.
3.1.2 Replacing battery
When battery has approximately 5% charge remaining, the warning will be
Prevent stay slot
Lock button

17
displayed and the instrument will turn off in approximately 10 seconds.
、
Powering off display
It’s better to replace batteries now.
3.2 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 the battery dry
Keep out of reach of children

18
Always dispose of battery in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations
3.3 Quick access
3.3.1 Capture an image
After installing the battery, press and hold the power key (≥3 seconds)
until the display comes on. After approximately 50 seconds, the power
on routine will finish and the camera will start its measurements.
Remove the lens cap and aim at the target. Adjust the focus for the
clearest target thermal image.
Press A key for auto calibration to get the best image
! NOTE: Failure to properly focus the camera will result in increased
measurement error. When the image quality becomes worse or a ghost
image appears, please press button A for a long time to compulsion in
force.
3.3.2 Temperature measurement
If no measurement cursors are on screen, add a measurement spot,
area or line by pressing MENU and selecting Measurement. Press
CONFIRM and scroll left or right to select the proper measurement
parameter. Aim the cursor indicator onto the target object on the
screen. The temperature will be displayed in the upper right corner of
the screen. For highest accuracy measurements, force a calibration
cycle by pressing the Akey for 3 seconds until “Calibrating” appears
in upper left portion of display.
If you want to measure the current thermal image in detail, press S
key to freeze the image for on-screen analysis. Save the image if
future analysis is desired.
If the target object’s temperature is lower or higher than the limits of

19
the camera, it will display <XXX°or >XXX° with XXX being the min or
max temperature of the selected range.
To modify the measurements attributes, select the measurement
parameter, and then press the Confirm key. The screen will display
the settings dialog box. The below figures are spot, line and area
measurement respectively.
Spot attributes dialog box
Spot attributes can amend emissivity, distance and reference
temperature. When Set Ref is set as Yes, the displayed values of other
measurements will be their delta from this measurement.
Line attributes dialog box
Line attributes can amend emissivity, distance, highest temperature,
lowest temperature, average temperature, max temperature
difference, the cross point temperature and reference temperature.
Press A key for up and down switch. When Set Ref is set as Yes, the
displayed values of other measurements will be their delta from this

20
measurement.
Area attributes dialog box
Area attributes can amend emissivity, distance, highest
temperature, lowest temperature, average temperature, max
temperature difference and reference temperature. Left and right key
for choice, press A key for up and down switch. When Set Ref is set as
Yes, the displayed values of other measurements will be their delta
from this measurement.
! NOTE：Thermal camera can only select one reference temperature
object
3.3.3 Freeze and save image
There are three ways to save the image:
1. Press Skey to freeze the image and then select ”Save” to save the
image, or select “Cancel” to exit the operation.
2. Press Menu key to activate the main menu. Choose File->Save and
the system will initiate the save cycle.
3. With the “Trigger” parameter, located in Setup->Sys. Setup->Trigger,
set to “Save Key”, pulling and releasing the trigger key will initiate the
save cycle.
3.3.4 Viewing stored Images
There are Two ways to open the image file：
1、Press the Ok key to activate the main menu, select "File Manager" menu ,
