is in the middle position, it is turned on. When it is pulled down
to the bottom position, the device does an automatic tuning
operation, which is described below. When it is released it will
go back to the middle position.
To conserve the battery when the FLIR ONE APP is not the
focus, your FLIR ONE will automatically go into ‘Sleep Mode’.
To wake your FLIR ONE, momentarily close the MODE SWITCH
and return it to the open position.
The mode switch has three
positions.
Your FLIR ONE will go into
‘Sleep Mode’ automatically.

Tuning The FLIR ONE™. /
This causes the device to do a self-calibration and allows
the thermal imager to present an optimized image and a
more accurate temperature calculation (see Spot Meter for
additional information).
Periodically it may be necessary
to perform a Tuning operation
on the FLIR ONE.

The Control Panel allows the user to turn on or o the Spot
Meter, turn on or o the Light, or access the Settings menu. It also
provides an indication of the battery charge level. Tap the blue

When the Spot Meter is enabled (indicated by an icon with
white background), the FLIR ONE™ will display a temperature
estimate (in degrees C or F) on the image for approximately
20 seconds after the Tuning operation has been done. The
accuracy of the Spot Meter depends on a great many factors,
including the distance from the object, the ambient tempera -
ture, and the emissivity of the material being observed.
Multi Spectral Imaging (MSX® )is a patented technology
which makes use of the visible camera in the FLIR ONE to
maximize detail and image sharpness. This feature requires
some amount of visible light, so in dark environments turn on
the light to enhance the image detail. This feature makes use
of the light that is built into the iPhone.

the FLIR ONE™.
SETTINGS MENU
When the Spot Meter is enabled, the temperature displayed
is affected by many factors, including a property of the target
material known as emissivity. This property is a relative rating
of how well a material emits or radiates thermal energy.
Some materials are more emissive than others; reflective
materials like metals tend to be poor emitters. For most
materials, the default “matte” setting is a fair approximation.
If a GPS signal is available, the location will be added to cap-
tured images. This makes it possible to see images on a map.
Turn this on to save a copy of your images and videos in the
iPhone photo gallery. Images will always be stored in the FLIR
ONE camera regardless of this setting. Items already captured
will not be copied.

FLIR ONE not detected...
HELP & SUPPORT
If the FLIR ONE™ app is not able to detect the FLIR ONE camera,
make sure the iPhone is properly attached to the FLIR ONE
and fully engaged. Make sure the FLIR ONE is turned on with
the mode switch in the middle position. When the FLIR ONE is
turned on, the red Power/Status indicator on the back should
be on. Make sure the FLIR ONE is adequately charged up (when
the device is plugged into a power source, the charge indicator
on the bottom of the device near the micro USB connection
will stay lit continuously if the device is fully charged).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Temperature Readings
Not Accurate...
The temperature indicated by the FLIR ONE is always a
calculated estimate and never exact. The indicated temperature is
affected by many factors, especially the emissivity of the object
being observed and the distance to the object. The temperature
may be influenced by the time of day, by weather conditions,
or by other hot or cold objects in the vicinity that may be
reflecting off the intended object.

This device has an internal, non-removable, rechargeable
battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device
as you may damage the device. The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
Use and standby times are estimates only. Actual times are
affected by, for example, device settings, features being used,
battery condition, and temperature.
If the battery has not been used for a long time, to begin
charging, you may need to connect the charger, then discon-
nect and reconnect it.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several
minutes before the charging indicator is displayed.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electri-
cal plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the bat-
tery’s lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose
its charge over time.
Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F
and 77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and life-
time of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not
work temporarily.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose
of batteries according to local regulations. Recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.
Use the charger for its intended purpose only. Improper use
or use of unapproved chargers may present a risk of fire,
explosion, or other hazard, and may invalidate any approval
or warranty. If you believe the charger is damaged, take it to a
service center for inspection before continuing to use it. Never
use a damaged charger. Only use the charger indoors.
