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.
• Make sure safety harness is attached correctly.
• Always charge the device in the special temperature range. The
temperature range to charge the battery is 
 . Charging the battery at temperatures outside this range can
cause the battery to become hot or to explode. It can also decrease the
performance or the life cycle of the battery.
• Do not continue to charge the device if it does not become charged in the
specified charging time. If you continue to charge the device, the battery
can become hot and cause an explosion or ignition. Injury to persons and
property can occur.
• Only use the correct equipment to discharge the device. Using the
incorrect equipment can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the
battery. Using the incorrect equipment can cause the battery to become
hot or cause an explosion.
• The device contains safety and protection components which, if damaged,
can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or an ignition.
• Do not put holes in the device with objects. Damage to the device may occur.
• Do not hit the device with a hammer or apply strong impacts or electric
shocks to it. Damage to the device may occur.
• Do not put the device in or near a fire, stove or other high-temperature
locations. Damage or ignition of the battery may occur.
• Do not put the device in direct sunlight or other high-temperature locations.
Damage or ignition of the battery may occur.
• Do not remove the battery from the device.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the

with local, state and federal regulations.
• Do not use the device if, when used, charged, or placed in storage, there
is an unusual smell from the device, the device feels hot, changes color,

one or more of these problems occurs.
• 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.

• Storage: If you do not use the imager for a long period of time, put the
device in a cool and dry environment. The built-in lithium battery will
discharge over time and should be fully charged before storage. It is
recommended to fully recharge the batteries every 3 months to prevent
damage. Store the device in an ambient temperature of -40 °C to 70 °C
