Safety Information

This product complies with the restrictions for Class A
digital equipment in Chapter 15 of the FCC Rules. These
restrictions are designed to prevent harmful interference
to civilian installations. If not installed and used in strict
accordance with the instructions , this device will generate,
use and emit radio frequency energy, which may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.

De󽗉nition

! Warning> Represents a hazardous situation or behavior
that could result in personal injury or death.

! Caution > Represents conditions or actions that could
result in damage to the device or permanent loss of data.

! Notice> Represents useful information for users.

Please read before using:

! Warning > This is class A product. In a domestic
environment, this product may cause radio interference
in which cause the user may be required to take adequate
measures.

! Warning > Do not disassemble or do modi󽗉cations to
the battery of the thermal imager . The battery contains
safety and protection devices, which, if damage occurs, can
cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or
an ignition. If there is a leak from the battery and you get

Safety Information

the 󽗊uid in your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Flush well with
water and immediately get medical care. The battery 󽗊uid
can cause injury to your eyes if you do not do this.

! Warning > The thermal imager is equipped with a laser
pointer. Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser
beam can cause eye irritation.

!Caution> The thermal imager uses a very sensitive
thermal sensor, so do not point the infrared camera (with
or without the lens cover) at strong energy sources, for
example, devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This
can have an unwanted e󽗈ect on the accuracy of the camera.
It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera
which is not covered in Fotric's warranty.

!Caution> Original packing box must be used during
transportation.Please do not strongly hit the thermal
imager during use and transportation.

! Caution > When storing the thermal imager, it is
recommended to use the original packing box and place it
in a cool and dry place, away from strong electromagnetic
󽗉eld.

!Caution> Please avoid oil and various chemical
substances to contaminate or damage the surface of the
lens. Please cover the lens with cap when not use.

!Caution> Do not use the camera in temperatures
higher than +50° C (+122° F), unless other information is
speci󽗉ed in the user documentation or technical data. High
temperatures can cause damage to the camera.

!Caution> In order to prevent potential risk of data loss,
please copy (back up) the data to a computer or server

periodically.

! Caution > Please do not open the thermal imager' s shell
or modify it without permission. Repair services can only be
performed by authorized FOTRIC personnel.

! Notice> After the thermal imager is turned on, it may
take about 10~15 minutes to warm up before accurate
measurement.

!Notice> Every thermal imager's temperature correction
has been performed before delivered from factory.

Quick-Start

For quick start of the thermal imager, please follow the
procedures as below:

1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment of the
thermal imager. (Make sure the battery is fully charged
before starting up the thermal imager)

2. Insert TF storage card into the TF card slot.

3. Long press the Power Button to turn on the thermal
imager.

4. Aim the thermal imager toward the object of interest.

5. For 320M series, adjust the Manual focus ring to get a
clear image.

For 320F series, keep object distance of more than

0.5meters to stay focus.

6. Press the Capture Button to freeze the thermal image,
so that it can be analyzed in this interface.

18

7. Press the Capture Button again; the analyzed thermal
image will be saved automatically.

Tips

• It is very important to adjust the focal length correctly.
An incorrect focal adjustment will a󽗈ect the imaging
quality and temperature measurement accuracy of the
thermal imager.

• The thermal imager has a resolution limit, which
depends on the detector size, lens, and distance to the
object. If necessary, please move closer to the object.
Stay away from hazardous areas or energized electrical
components

• Be careful when using the thermal imager
perpendicular to the target, because you may become
the main radiation source of infrared ray.

• Please choose a high-emission area (for example, an
area with rough surface) for measurement.

• Blank objects (and objects with low emissivity) are
mainly re󽗊ected in the environment, so they may
appear wrong result in the thermal imager.

• Various types of faults (such as faults that occur in
building construction) may generate the same type of
heat distribution pattern.

• Analysis of the infrared images requires corresponding
professional knowledge.

• Please ensure your battery is fully charged before use.
