Instructions for use
ZEISS products are famous for outstanding optical performance, precision engineering
and a long service life.
Please observe the following instructions for use in order to obtain the best from your
thermal imaging camera and to ensure that it remains your constant companion for
many years to come.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Environmental inuences
• Note: Never point the lens of the device directly at intense heat sources such
as thesun or laser equipment. The objective lens and eyepiece can function
as aburning glass and damage the interior components.
• Caution: Avoid touching the metal surface (cooling ns) after exposure
to sunlight or cold.
• Caution: Protection class IP66 is only achieved when all rubber covers are
rmly closed.
Ergonomics note
Caution: Take breaks after longer periods of use to avoid wrist pain.
Risk of swallowing
Caution: Do not place this device in the hands of small children. Incorrect handling
can cause small parts to come loose which may be swallowed.
Safety instructions for battery
• Handle the device with care: Rough handling can damage the internal battery.
• Do not expose the device to re or high temperatures.
• Do not disassemble the device to access the battery. The battery is not meant to
be replaced by the end user.
• Only use the battery charger included in the delivery package.
• Only charge the device at temperatures ranging between 10°C and 40°C.
• The battery capacity decreases when operated in a cold ambient temperature.
This is not a fault and occurs for technical reasons.
• Do not store the device for long periods at temperatures below 0°C or above 35°C.
This permanently reduces the capacity of the battery.
• If the device has been damaged or the battery is defective, send the device to our
after-sales service for repair.
Safety instructions for the power supply unit
• Check the power supply unit, cable and adapter for visible damage before use.
• Do not use any defective parts. Defective components must be replaced.
• Do not use the power supply unit in wet or humid environments.
• Only use the original cable provided with the battery charger.
• Do not make any technical modications.
For further information and safety instructions, please refer to the QuickGuide
provided. This is also available on our website in the download center:

Power on/o
Press the on/o button (5) for a longer time to switch on the device. The LED (9) is
green. The LED (9) lights up red when the charge level is low.
Press the on/o button (5) for a longer time to switch o the device again. The LED
iso. When switched on, the LED (9) lights up red when the charge level is low.
Note: The on/o button (5) must be pressed
until the OFF symbol appears on the display. Only
then can the on/o button (5) be released and
the device switches o. If the on/o button (5) is
released before the OFF symbol is displayed, the
device does not switch o but switches to standby
mode.
Standby mode
Briey press the on/o button (5) to switch
thedevice to standby mode. The LED (9) blinks
green. Briey press the on/o button (5) again to switch the device back to observation
mode. The LED (9) is permanently green.
In standby mode, the LED (9) ashes red when the charge level is low.
Calibration
The device enables you to perform automatic (Auto Calibration = On) or manual
calibrations (Auto Calibration = O).
In automatic mode, the device automatically performs a calibration by closing and
opening an internal shutter when necessary. A gentle click should be heard. In this
mode, you also have the option of performing the calibration manually by pressing
theShutter button (6) and the Menu button (8) simultaneously.
There is a further option for performing a manual, silent calibration. Go to the device
menu and set the "Auto Calibration" option to "O". Then return to the observation
mode. Close the lens cap manually. Now press the Shutter button (6) and the Menu
button (8) simultaneously. The device is now calibrated again.
Note: Always cover the lens when performing a manual calibration. Otherwise
thesensor cannot calibrate correctly and the image will deteriorate, e.g. ghost images.
If you forget to cover the lens during a manual calibration, repeat the calibration
procedure with the lens covered.

Care and maintenance of the device
Do not rub coarse particles (e.g. sand) from the lenses. Blow them o, or use a soft
brush! Over time, ngerprints can corrode the lens surface. Breathing on the lens
and polishing it with a clean optical cleansing cloth is the easiest method of cleaning
thelens surface.
Dry storage and keeping the outer lens surfaces well ventilated, especially in
thetropics, helps to prevent a possible mold lm forming on the optics.
Your ZEISS DTI 3/35 requires no further special care.
Care and maintenance of the battery
Follow these steps to extend the battery life:
• Avoid storing the device at high temperatures.
• Avoid storing the device with a fully charged battery.
• Avoid complete discharging of the device.
Spare parts
Should you require spare parts for your device, e.g. the lens cap, please contact your
specialist retailer, your local distributor or our after-sales service.
