WARNING
9. Repeated exposure to high temperature environments without adequate periods
for the unit to self-cool may result in degradation or loss of the thermal image or
damage to the internal components. Be sure to allow adequate cool-down periods
between high temperature exposures.
10. Exposure to high temperature environments for an extended period of time may
result in degradation or loss of the thermal image. Be sure not to overexpose or
heat saturate the equipment beyond the design tolerances of the system.
11. The service life of the E380 depends in part on how it is used and the environmental
conditions in which it is used. Under heavy usage, or under extreme environmental
conditions, the service life of the equipment may vary.
12. Batteries supplied with the E380 have been designed based on specic perfor-
mance values. Replacement batteries must be obtained ONLY from an Authorized
ISG / INFRASYS Service Center.
13 The E380 incorporates electric temperature control systems. Run time on each
battery may decrease when used in extreme temperature environments.
14. It is important to test the E380 and any other associated accessories often to
ensure that the equipment is functional before entering a hazardous environment.
Always perform a visual and functional check on the equipment to validate that it
has not been damaged or degraded prior to use.
15. Never use the E380 as the sole source of navigation. If system failure occurs, you
may become disoriented or lost in a hazardous environment which could result in
death or serious injury.
16. Failure to exit a hazardous environment immediately on observation of the low
battery warning may result in system failure in a hazardous environment which
could result in death or serious injury.
17. The E380 is a navigational tool which provides a thermal image in conditions where
vision is impaired. The user should follow safety precautions and protocols, and
stay within communications range of the incident command structure. Failure to
do so could result in death or serious injury.
18. While every effort has been made to ensure that your E380 is both tough and
reliable, the camera is a sophisticated electro-optical system that will fail if it is
abused or exposed to environments beyond its design envelope.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
