1. GETTING STARTED
1.1. Safety Precautions
Never aim the camera at the sun or other strong source of thermal radiation.
This can impair
camera operation and/or damage its infrared sensor. To avoid accidental exposure, close the lens flap
when the camera is not in use.
Avoid exposure to dust with the lens flap open.
Dust on the lens can absorb thermal flux and cause
artificial diffusion. It can also degrade image sharpness. To clean the lens, refer to
Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
Acids from human skin can damage the lens and its coatings
.
Avoid jolting or dropping the camera.
1.2. Battery Installation
The camera accepts four AA batteries, alkaline or NiMH rechargeable. The latter can be
recharged with an external charger supplied with the camera.
When the batteries are removed, the internal clock has sufficient power for 15 hours. The
batteries are inserted through the end of the handle. Open the cover using a coin while
pressing down on the locking tab:
1.2.1. Battery Management
After the batteries are installed (or replaced) the Battery management menu
appears when the camera first starts up. This menu can also be displayed by
pressing and holding down the
F2
button when the camera is powered ON.
In the Battery management menu, the function buttons perform the following:
F1
confirms the information entered, closes the window, and initializes
the settings.
F2
edits and confirms entry of the selected item.
F3
cancels an entry or closes the window without resetting the battery
options.
The Battery management menu can operate in one of two modes:

battery icon
only appears when battery power is low. When this icon appears, the camera will operate for
approximately 30 minutes and then shut down automatically.
