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-off locations may be found at
www.call2recycle.org.

WARNING
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 use.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.

WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
Stop using the camera if it becomes abnormally hot, or shows signs of odor,
discoloration, deformation, or abnormal conditions is detected during use,
charge, or storage.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Stop using the camera if the enclosure becomes cracked, swollen or shows
any other signs of misuse. Discontinue immediately and promptly dispose
of unit.
CAUTION
Do not charge the thermal imager in a hazardous location.
CAUTION
Only use a Seek Thermal specified battery charger when you charge the
battery. otherwise, damage to the battery can occur.

CAUTION
Leaving the flashlight on with the FirePRO in the charger, without the
charger power engaged, can lead to damage to charger. Ensure LED is
powered off.
CAUTION
Do not put the thermal imager directly into a fire or increase the
temperature of the battery. Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight for
extended periods of time. Damage to battery can occur.
CAUTION
Do not point the infrared camera at strong energy sources, for example,
devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can affect the accuracy of
the camera and cause damage to the detector.
NOTICE
Contact your dealer for servicing by authorized personnel. The thermal
imager contains no user-serviceable components.
NOTICE
The thermal imager will not provide images through glass, water, or shiny
objects. These surfaces act like mirrors to the thermal imager.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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.

NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
Battery lifespan can vary greatly depending on prolonged exposure to hot
and cold environments.
