RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
• The battery should be partially charged for long-term storage – 50 to 80 %.
• The battery should be charged at an ambient temperature of 0°C…+35°C (+32°F…+95°F). Otherwise, lifespan of
the battery will decrease signicantly.
• When using the battery at sub-zero temperatures, the battery capacity decreases, this is normal and not a
defect.
• Do not use the battery at temperatures outside the range of -25 °С...+50 °С (-13°F…+122°F) – this may reduce
battery’s life.
• The battery has a short-circuit protection. However, any situation that may cause short-circuiting should be
avoided.
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
External power is supplied from an external source, such as a 5V Power Bank.
• Attach the external power source to the device's USB connector (11).
• The device will switch to operation from the external power source, while the IPS7 battery will be gradually
recharged.
• An icon of a battery will appear on the display showing its charge as a percentage.
• If the device is operated from an external power source and the IPS7 battery is not connected, an icon is
displayed .
• When the external power supply is disconnected, the device switches to the internal power supply without
the device powering off.
Attention! Charging Power Bank IPS7 batteries at air temperatures below 0 °C can result in reduced battery
life. When using external power, connect Power Bank to the switched-on device, which have worked for several
minutes.
OPERATION
ATTENTION! The lens of the device must not be pointed at any sources of intense energy, such as laser-emitting
devices or the sun. This may damage the electronic components in the device. Damage caused by failure to
comply with the operating guidelines is not covered under warranty.

The battery is completely
discharged. Charge the battery.
The device does not
operate from an external
power source.
The USB cable is damaged. Replace the USB cable.
The external power supply is
discharged. Charge the external power supply (if necessary).
Blurred image with vertical
stripes or an uneven
background.
Calibration is required. Perform image calibration according to the
Microbolometer Calibration section of the manual.
Poor quality image. There
is noise or ghost images of
previous scenes or objects.
Manual calibration has been
performed with the lens cover
open.
Check the calibration mode, close the lens cover
and calibrate the device.
Image is too dark. Brightness or contrast level is
too low. Adjust the brightness or contrast.
Color bars appear on
the display or the image
disappears.
The device was exposed to static
charges during operation. When the exposure to static charges is over, the
device may either reboot automatically or require
to be switched off and on again.
The image of the object
being observed is missing. You are looking through glass. Remove the glass or change the viewing position
to avoid it.
Poor image quality /
reduced detection distance.These problems may occur during observation in adverse weather conditions
(snow, rain, fog, etc.).
Smartphone or tablet
cannot be connected to the
device.
Device password has been
changed. Delete the network and connect again using the
password saved in the device.
The device is in an area with too
many Wi-Fi networks that may
be causing signal interference.
To ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection, relocate the
device to an area with fewer or no Wi-Fi networks.
Missing or interrupted
broadcasting via Wi-Fi. The smartphone or tablet is
beyond reliable Wi-Fi range.
There are obstacles between the
device and the signal receiver
(e.g. concrete walls).
Move the devices in line-of-sight and within range
of the Wi-Fi signal.
When the device is used in
low temperature conditions
the image quality is
worse than in positive
temperatures.
In positive temperature conditions, objects being observed (surroundings
and background) heat up differently because of thermal conductivity, thereby
generating a high temperature contrast. Consequently, the image quality produced
by the thermal imager will be better. In low-temperature conditions, objects being
observed (background) will cool down to roughly the same temperature, which
leads to a greatly reduced temperature contrast and a degraded image quality. This
is normal for all thermal imaging devices.
Repair of the device is possible within 5 years.
