4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
- Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Screen: Wipe the display screen gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
- Body: Clean the camera body with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.
4.2 Storage
When not in use, store the HTI HT-06 in its protective carrying case in a cool, dry place. Ensure the storage temperature is between -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F) and relative humidity is between 10% to 85% RH (non-condensing).
4.3 Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% and recharge every few months.
5. Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to the charger and try again.
- No thermal image: Check if the lens cap is removed. Ensure the device is in thermal imaging mode.
- Inaccurate temperature readings: Verify the emissivity setting is correct for the material being measured. Ensure the target is within the camera's temperature range.
- WIFI connection issues: Confirm WIFI is enabled on the camera and your receiving device. Double-check the network name and IP address. Restart both devices if necessary.
- Screen frozen: Try pressing and holding the 'MENU' button for 10-15 seconds to force a restart.
