Battery Disposal: Lithium Ion batteries contain elements
that may pose health risks to individuals if they are allowed to
leach into the ground water supply. In some countries, it may
be illegal to dispose of these batteries in standard household
waste. Fortunately, many recycling facilities exist that process
lithium ion batteries, in part due to the value of the materials
contained within the individual cells. In the United States and
Canada, a large network of over 30,000 battery drop-o
locations may be found at www.call2recycle.org.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING – INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT, IF NOT
AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
CAUTION – INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT, IF NOT
AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN MINOR OR MODERATE INJURY
NOTICE – INDICATES INFORMATION CONSIDERED IMPORTANT, BUT
NOT HAZARD-RELATED
7. WARNING
1. Never become wholly dependent on the thermal imager for
personal navigation. It is not a night vision camera. Always maintain
awareness of location and escape routes when using this device.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
2. The thermal imager is not life support equipment and should not
be used as such. Users of thermal imagers, regardless of brand or
type, are required to read the operating manual prior to using thermal
imagers.
Safety and usage information

3. The thermal imager must only be used by authorized personnel
familiar with and trained on the uses, proper operation, features and
full functionality of the thermal imager, including training in simulated
fire conditions such as controlled live burn simulations. This includes
understanding thermal images and how they are interpreted.
4. The thermal imager is a complex electro-optical device, and just
like any other machinery, electronic systems are subject to potential
failures. If a failure occurs, the user will no longer have access to the
thermal imagery provided by the thermal imager. Tactical use of this
equipment must not deviate from standard operating procedures used
by personnel who do not have the benefit of the equipment. Failure
to follow your fire department’s standard operating procedures in a
hazardous atmosphere could result in disorientation, serious injury or
death should equipment failure occur.
5. Never use the thermal imager as the sole source of navigation.
If system failure occurs, you may become disoriented or lost in a
hazardous environment which could result in serious injury or death.
6. 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 serious injury or death.
7. Do not disassemble or modify the battery used with this device.
The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if damage
occurs, can cause the battery to become hot or cause an explosion or
ignition.
Safety and usage information

7. CAUTION
1. Risk of injury or product impairment if the AttackPRO Camera is
used in a manner not specified by Seek Thermal.
2. Users should be conscious of the battery life. Only enter a
hazardous environment when a full battery charge is indicated on
the battery charge icon and the thermal imager is confirmed as fully
operational.
3. If there is a leak from the battery and you get the fluid in your
eyes, do not rub your eyes. Flush well with water and immediately get
medical care. The battery fluid can cause injury to your eyes.
4. Do not continue to charge the battery if it does not become
charged in the specified charging time. If you continue charging the
battery, it can become hot or cause an explosion or ignition, potentially
causing injury.
5. Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of
the battery to each other with a metal or conductive object. Damage
to battery can occur.
6. Do not get water or salt water on the battery or permit the battery
to become wet. Damage to battery can occur.
7. Do not strike or hit the battery. Damage to the battery can occur.
8. Do not charge the thermal imager or individual batteries in a
hazardous location.
Safety and usage information

9. Do not use the battery if, when you use, charge, or place the
battery in storage, there is an unusual smell from the battery, or it feels
hot to the touch, or changes color, or changes shape, or is an otherwise
unusual condition.
10. Only use a seek thermal specified battery charger when you
charge the battery. otherwise, damage to the battery can occur.
11. Do not put the battery in a fire or increase the temperature of
the battery. Do not leave the batteries in direct sunlight for extended
periods of time. Damage to battery can occur.
12. Remove any water or moisture from the battery before you install
it. Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, cables, or
other items. Damage to the components can occur.
13. It is important to test the thermal imager and any other associated
accessories prior to use 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.
14. The thermal imager 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 communication range
of the incident command structure.
15. Do not point the infrared camera at strong energy sources, for
example, devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can aect
the accuracy of the camera and cause damage to the detector.
Safety and usage information

NOTICE
1. Contact your dealer for servicing by authorized personnel. The
thermal imager contains no user-serviceable components.
2. As with most electronic products, this equipment must be disposed
of in an environmentally friendly way and in accordance with existing
regulations for electronic waste.
3. The thermal imager will not provide images through glass, water, or
shiny objects. These surfaces act like mirrors to the thermal imager.
4. The thermal imager will not provide thermal images underwater.
5. When using the thermal imager in a cold environment (below
0˚C/32˚F), the maximum temperature that the thermal imager can
detect is lowered, until the unit reaches an internal nominal temp of
(20˚C/68˚F). Be aware that colorization and temperature readings may
not be accurate under these conditions.
6. For best performance and accurate scene colorization, always store
the thermal imager indoors or in a room temperature environment
(20˚C/68˚F). Do not leave the thermal imager exposed to cold
environments.
7. 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.
Safety and usage information

8. The service life of the thermal imager 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.
9. Battery lifespan can vary greatly depending on prolonged exposure
to hot and cold environments, but a typical battery life when used at
ambient conditions of 23˚C (73˚F) is expected to be 3yrs while still
maintaining 80% of its original performance and capacity.
10. While every eort has been made to ensure that your thermal
imager is both tough and reliable, the thermal imager is a sophisticated
electro-optical system that will fail if it is abused or exposed to
environments beyond its design envelope.
11. Do not alter or cover over any labels on the thermal imager.
12. Exposure to some chemicals may degrade the sealing properties of
materials used in the thermal imager and battery assembly.
13. The thermal imager is IP67 rated against debris and water ingress.
However, the thermal imager must not be exposed to debris and
water while the battery cover door is open or otherwise unlatched and
unsecured or permanent damage to the electronics or performance
may occur. Make sure the battery latch is secured closed before use.
