- Keep the device as stable as possible during use and avoid violent shaking.
- Do not use or store the device in an environment with the temperature beyond the permitted range.
- Do not expose the device directly to high-intensity heat radiation source, such as sun, laser, and spot welding machine.
- Do not expose the device to dust or moisture. When used in an environment with water, avoid splashing water on the device. The lens shall be covered when the device is not in use.
- When the device is not used, please place the device and all accessories in the special packing box.
- Do not block the holes on the device.
- Do not knock, throw or vibrate the device and accessories to avoid damage.
- Do not disassemble the device, which may cause damage to the device and lose the warranty right.
- Avoid using TF card for other purposes.
- Do not use the device in an environment exceeding the operating temperature of the device, which may damage the device.
- Do not use soluble or similar liquids on device and cables, which may cause damage to the device.
- Please observe the following rules when wiping the device:
Non-optical surface: if necessary, wipe the non-optical surface of the thermographic camera with a clean and soft cloth.
Optical surface: when using the thermographic camera, please avoid soiling the optical surface of the lens, especially avoid touching the lens with your hands, because the optical coating on the glass surface may be corroded due to sweat on the hands. When the optical lens surface is contaminated, use special lens cloth to carefully clean it.
LITHIUM BATTERY STORAGE AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions on lithium battery storage
- Lithium-ion batteries shall be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated environment, away from water source, fire source and high temperatures. The storage temperature of the battery must be within the range of – 10℃ ~ 45℃, and the humidity must be 65 ± 20% RH.
- Storage voltage and power: the voltage is 3.7V ~ 3.9v (4.2V lithium battery standard voltage system, multi-series combination * corresponding multiple); Power: 30% – 70%.
- For long-term storage (more than 3 months), the battery must be placed in an environment with a temperature of 23 ± 5 ℃ and humidity of 65 ± 20% RH.
- The battery shall be stored according to the storage requirements and shall be fully charged and discharged once every three months and charged to 70% of the capacity.
- Do not transport the battery when the ambient temperature is higher than 65℃.
Instructions for use of lithium battery
- Use dedicated charger or charge in the whole device. Do not use modified or damaged charger. The use of high current or high voltage charging may cause problems in the charge and discharge performance, mechanical performance and safety performance of the cell, and may cause heating, leakage or bulging.
- The battery must be charged within the ambient temperature range of 0 ℃ ~ 45 ℃. Exceeding this temperature range will reduce the performance and service life of the battery, and there will be problems such as leakage or bulging.
- The battery must be discharged within the ambient temperature range of – 20 ℃ ~ 60 ℃.
- If the battery is not used for long term (more than 3 months), it may be in over discharge state due to self-discharge characteristics. In order to prevent over-discharge, the battery shall be charged regularly and its voltage shall be maintained between 3.7V and 3.9v. Over-discharge will lead to the loss of cell performance and battery function. If the voltage is lower than the protection plate for a long time, the cell will be deeply discharged to the cell damage. For batteries or battery packs not loaded into the device, it is recommended to charge the battery every 1 month and complete full charging and discharging process of the battery every 3 months; For the battery or battery pack loaded into the device, considering the possible static discharge of the device, the battery shall be charged regularly according to the requirements of the operation manual to prevent battery damage due to power loss.
Warning
- Do not charge the battery near fire sources or under extremely hot conditions! Do not use or store batteries near heat sources such as fires or heaters! If the battery leaks or emits an odor, it shall be removed from the place close to the open fire immediately;
- When the battery has problems such as bulging and liquid leakage, stop using the battery immediately!
- Do not put the battery in water or get it wet!
- Do not put the battery into the fire or heat the battery!
- Do not connect the battery directly to the wall socket or vehicle cigarette lighter socket!
- Do not short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of the cell with wires or other metal objects, and do not transport or store the battery with necklaces, hairpins or other metal objects!
- Do not pierce the battery case with nails or other sharp objects, and do not hit or step on the battery!
- Do not knock, throw or vibrate the battery mechanically!
- Do not disassemble the battery in any way!
- Do not place the battery in the microwave oven or pressure vessel!
- Do not mix the cell with primary batteries (such as dry batteries) or batteries of different capacities, models and varieties!
- Do not use smelly, hot, deformed, discolored battery and battery with any other abnormal phenomenon.
- If the battery is in use or charging, it shall be taken out of the electrical appliance or charger immediately and stop using!
- Charge the battery according to the methods described in this manual, and follow the charging steps and warnings. Incorrect charging can lead to battery heating, damage and even personal injury.
