1. lntroduction
• The Thermal lmager is a hand held imaging camera used for predictive
maintenance, equipment troubleshooting and verification.
• Focus the lens to the object, then the thermal and visual images are
displayed on the LCD and can be saved to a Micro SD Memory card.
• Transferring images to a PC is accomplished by removing the SD memory
card and connecting it to a PC through a card reader (not included), or
transfer the images and video stream to the smart device with
"Thermoview" apps installed.
• In addition to the features mentioned above, the Thermal lmager
provides video recording and play back

1. Safety Information
• 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 do a modification to the Thermal Imager.
• Do not point the Thermal Imager (with or without the lens cover) at
intensive energy sources, for example devices that emit laser radiation, or
the sun.
• This can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the camera. It can
also cause damage to the detector in the Thermal Imager.
• Do not use the Thermal Imager in a temperature higher than 50°C
(122°F), lower than -20°C (-4°F), High temperature or low temperature
can cause damage to the Thermal Imager.
• Only use the correct equipment to discharge the battery.
• If you do not use the correct equipment, you can decrease the
performance or the life cycle of the battery. If you do not use the correct
equipment, an incorrect flow of current to the battery can occur. This can
cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion and injure the
user.
• Do not pull out the battery when the thermal imager is working.
• If you pull out the battery when the thermal imager is working, it may
cause the thermal imager to work erroneously.
• Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery.
• 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.
• If there is a leak from the battery and the fluid gets into your eyes, do
not rub your eyes. Flush well with water and immediately get medical
care.

• Do not make holes in the battery with objects. Do not hit the battery with
a hammer. Do not step on the battery, or apply strong impacts or shocks
to it.
• Do not put the battery in or near a fire, or in direct sunlight, or other
high-temperature locations. Do not solder directly onto the battery.
• Always charge the battery in the specified temperature range.
• The temperature range through which you can charge the battery is 0 to
50°C (32 to 122°F). If you charge the battery at temperatures out of this
range, it can cause the battery to become hot or to break, It can also
decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery.
• Do not get water or salt water on the battery, or permit the battery to get
wet.
• 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 you clean the infrared lens. Do not clean the infrared
lens too vigorously, This can damage the anti-reflective coating.
• Taking the Thermal Imager from cold to hot may cause condensation in
the thermal Imager. To protect the Thermal Imager, you should switch off
the Thermal Imager, wait until the Thermal Imager has become warm
enough for the condensation to evaporate.
• If you do not use the Thermal Imager, put the Thermal Imager in cool
and dry environment. If you store the Thermal Imager with the battery
inserted, the power of the battery will be depleted.

6. Before You Start
6.1. How to Charge the Battery
• Before you use the Thermal Imager for the first time, charge the battery
for three and a half hours.
• The battery status shows on the six-segment charge indicator.
• To charge the battery, use follow before:
1. Connect the ac power adapter into an AC wall outlet and connect the
DC output to the Thermal Imager’s AC power socket. The charge light
is on, The battery indicator becomes " " while the
battery charges with the AC power adapter.
2. Charge until the charge indicator becomes " " the charge icon will not
change.
3. Disconnect AC power adapter when the battery is fully charged.
Note: Make sure that the Thermal Imager is near room temperature before
you connect it to the charger. Do not charge in hot or cold areas. When you
charge in extreme temperature, battery capacity may be damaged.
6.2. Power On
To turn the Thermal Imager on, push the Power/Lock " " Button for
about 2 seconds.
Note: After turning on the device, the thermal Imager needs sufficient
warm-up time for the most accurate temperature measurements and best
image quality. So the visible image will first appear, and the thermal sensor
will calibrate internal for several seconds. After that the thermal image will
be displayed on the screen.
