Please Read
Test Shots
Before you try to shoot important subjects, we highly recommend
that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the IR camera is
operating and being operated correctly.
Please note that SDS, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its
distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising
from any malfunction of an IR camera or accessory that results in
the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format
that is machine readable.
Safety Precautions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and
understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure
that the IR camera is operated correctly.
The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to
instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the IR camera and
its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other
persons and equipment.
6
Warnings
Read on to learn about using IR camera properly.
Do not disassemble
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is
not expressly described this guide
7
Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet
Handling it with wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When
unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug.
Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the
wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires and electrical shocks.
8
Before you discard a battery, cover the terminal with tape or
other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects
Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste
containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard the batteries in
specialized waste facilities if available in your area.
9
Prevent Malfunction
Read on to learn about preventing malfunction of IR camera
Extended Storage
When not using the IR camera for extended periods of time, remove the
battery from the IR camera or battery charger and store the IR camera in
a safe place. Storing the IR camera for extended periods with battery
installed will run down the battery.

About the analysis settings
There are two kinds of temp-alert:
Upper-limit alert and Lower-limit alert.
1.Upper-limit alert
Set item "alert" as [on],and "Capture spot" as
[maximum],then spot analysis tool "max sp10" will
automatically capture the hottest spot within the
screen, if this temperature is higher than the value
you set in "alert temp",the reading on top-right
screen will turn into RED,and also sound of beepin.
*Alert 2.Lower-limit alert
Set item "alert" as [on],and "Capture spot" as
[minimum],then spot analysistool "mini sp10" will
automatically capture the coldest temperature
within the screen,if this temperature is lower than
the value you set in "alert temp",the reading on
top-right screen will turn into RED,and also sound
of beepin.
