> Only operate the product properly, for its intended purpose and

within the parameters specified in the technical data. Do not
use any force.

> Do not operate the instrument if there are signs of damage at

the housing, mains unit or feed lines.

The thermal imager must not be directed at the sun or other
sources of intense radiation (e.g. objects with temperatures greater
than 500 °C, 800 °C while using the high-temperature filter) during
operation. This may lead to serious damage to the detector. The
manufacturer accepts no warranty for this type of damage to the
microbolometer detector.

> The objects to be measured or the measurement environment

may also pose risks: Note the safety regulations valid in your
area when performing the measurements.

> Do not store the product together with solvents. Do not use any

desiccants.

> Carry out only the maintenance and repair work on this

instrument that is described in the documentation. Follow the
prescribed steps exactly. Use only original spare parts from
Testo.

> Improper use of rechargeable batteries can lead to destruction

or injuries by means of current surges, fire or escaping
chemicals. The following instructions must be observed to avoid
such hazards:

• Only use in accordance with the directions in the instruction
manual.

• Do not short, take apart or modify.

• Do not expose to heavy impacts, water, fire or temperatures
above 60 °C.

• Do not store in the proximity of metal objects.

• Do not use leaky or damaged rechargeable batteries. In the
event of contact with battery acid: Thoroughly wash affected
area with water and consult a doctor, if necessary.

• In the event of improper function or signs of overheating,

immediately remove the rechargeable battery from the
measuring instrument/charging station. Caution:

2.3. Protecting the environment

Rechargeable battery may be hot!

> Dispose of faulty rechargeable batteries/spent batteries in

accordance with the valid legal specifications.

> At the end of its useful life, send the product to the separate

collection for electric and electronic devices (observe local
regulations) or return the product to Testo for disposal.

4.2. Basic properties

Voltage supply

The power is supplied to the instrument via an exchangeable
rechargeable battery or via the included mains unit.

With an attached mains unit, the power is supplied automatically
via the mains unit and the instrument's rechargeable battery is
charged (only at ambient temperatures from 0 to 45 °C).

Charging the battery is also possible using a desktop charging
station (accessory).

The instrument is equipped with a buffer battery (type CR 1632) to
maintain the system data during an interruption in the power
supply (e.g. when the battery is changed).
