3. Safety Information
•
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.
• Always charge the battery in the special temperature range. The
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 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 persons can occur.
• Do not attach the batteries directly to a car’s cigarette lighter socket. Using the
incorrect equipment can cause the battery to become hot or cause an
explosion.
• Only use the correct equipment to discharge the battery. 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.
• 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.
• The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if they become
damaged, can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or
an ignition.
• Do not put holes in the battery with objects. Damage to the battery may occur.
• Do not hit the battery with a hammer or apply strong impacts or electric
shocks to it. Damage to the battery may occur.
• Do not put the battery in or near a fire, stove or other high-temperature
locations. Damage or ignition of the battery may occur.
• Do not put the battery in direct sunlight or other high-temperature
locations. Damage or ignition of the battery may occur.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery. Damage to the battery may occur.

T-CAM 380 P-SERIES USER MANUAL

• Do not get water or salt water on the battery or device or permit the device
or battery to get wet. Damage to the battery may occur.
• Remove any water or moisture on the battery before you install it. Damage
to the battery may occur.
• If there is a leak from the battery and the fluid gets into the eyes, do not
rub the eyes. Flush well with water and immediately get medical care.
• Always dispose of battery in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations.
• Do not use the battery if, when used, charged, or placed 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 a sales office if
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.
• 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.
• After the eyepiece is used for long time, its contrast will be lowered, and
the scene will be whitened. You can switch to the LCD display, and switch
back to the eyepiece some time later.
• Storage: If you do not use the imager for a long period of time, put the
device in a cool and dry environment. Batteries should be stored in an
will discharge 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
