interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
• To prevent eye damage and personal injury, do not look into the laser. Do
not point the laser directly at people or animals or indirectly off reflective
surfaces.
• Do not disassemble or modify the thermal device.
• Do not point the imager (with or without the lens cover) at intensive energy
sources, e.g. devices that emit laser radiation, or the sun. This can affect
the accuracy of the camera, and cause damage to the detector.
• Do not use the imager in an ambient temperature outside of the operation
range. High/low temperatures can cause damage to the device.
• Prior to start of the device, make sure that the power supply is properly
connected. If the power supply is connected incorrectly, the device may
be damaged.
• Do not place any objects on the power cord, and do not place the device
where the power cord can be easily touched.
• Do not get water or salt water on the device or permit the device to get
wet. Damage to the device may occur.
• Remove any water or moisture on the device before you install it. Damage
to the device may occur.
• Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap solution. Do not use
abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the case or lens/screen.
• Be careful when cleaning the infrared lens. Do not clean the infrared lens
too vigorously. This can damage the anti-reflective coating.
• Avoid condensation. Taking the imager from cold to hot will cause
condensation in thermal imager. To protect the imager, power on the
device and wait until it becomes warm enough for the condensation to
evaporate.
• Keep device out of reach of children.
• Storage: If you do not use the imager for a long period of time, put the
device in a cool and dry environment. Store the device in an ambient
