FAQ

- How we can solve artifacts?

If any of these artifacts do appear in your properly focused infrared image, 
please be assured that it is only because there is not enough of a thermal 
differential in the scene to indicate the presence of an anomaly or issue.

Typically, increasing span, changing color palette, or introducing a thermal 
differential into the scene will eliminate the appearance of any artifacts.

- How can I set a date/ language?

you can use the F2 key to go to the Menu and use F1 and F3 to find the 
setting for time and language.
 

-Why the image taken by the camera is mostly one color (all in blue 
or red)?

This problem hapens when the color range of temperature which is shown 
on the right side of the screen is not set properly.
 Look the description in 
the Setting the level . Also it can be result of a situation which the thermal 
camera is not collaborated with the surrounding temperature. you need to 
wait for a while or you may need to turn off and then turn it on again.
