01. READ THIS FIRST
Test Shots
Before you point your camera at any objects and start measuring, we highly recommend that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the IR camera is operating and being operated correctly.
Please note that GSAT, 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.
Warning Against Copyright Infringement
Safety Instructions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the safety instructions laid out below. Always ensure that the IR camera is operated cor­rectly. The safety instructions on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct ope­ration of your IR camera and its accessories in order to prevent any injuries or damage to yourself or other persons and equipment.
WARNING
Please read the following important instructions carefully:
- Risk of damage to eyesight
Do NOT point the laser at people or at animals. This can result in severe da-
m
mage to the eyes !
- Disassembling the camera
Do NOT modify or disassemble the camera or any of its parts other than described in this manual.
- Stop operating the camera immediately if it starts to emit smoke or toxic fumes
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power of the camera remove thebattery from the camera or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Check to see that no more smoke or fumes are coming out of the camera.
- Stop operating immediately you drop the camera or damage the housing.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power of the camera, remo­ ve the battery from the camera or unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
- Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or service the IR camera.
The use of these substances may cause a fire.
- Remove the power cord at regular intervals and wipe away any dust and dirt that collects on the plug, around the the power outlet and the surrounding area.
In dust-filled, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the plug over long peri­ ods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit and cause a fire.
- Do not grip or touch the power cord with wet hands.
If you grip or touch the power cord with wet hands, you are in severe danger of receiving an electric shock. Pull out the cord at the plug only. Do NOT tug at the cord. If you pull out the plug by the cord, you run a severe risk of damging the wires or insulation which could in turn lead to a real danger of fire or electric shock.
- Do not cut, alter or place heavy items on the power adapter cord.
Any of these actions may cause a short circuit, which may lead to fire or electric shock.
- Use only the recommended power accessories.
Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this IR camera may lead to overheating, a deformation of the camera, fire, electric shock or other hazards.

- Do NOT place the batteries near a heat source or ex­ pose them to heat or an open flame.
Do NOT immerse in water. Such exposure can lead to an explosion, fire or an electric shock. The cor­ rosive liquid from a leaking battery can also cause serious damage and injury.
- Do NOT take apart, alter or apply heat to the batteries.
There is a severe risk of explosion and injury. Immedi­ ately flush any area of the body, including the eyes and mouth and any clothing, that comes into contact with the contents of a battery with water. If the eyes and mouth come into contact with the battery‘s substances, flush thoroughly with water and seek medical help immediately.
- Do NOT drop and prevent any damage to the battery as this could damage the battery‘s casing.
This could cause the battery to leak and cause serious injury.
- Do NOT short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic object, such as key holders.
This could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.
- Before you disposing of your batteries, cover the terminal with tape or other insulators to prevent di­ rect contact with other objects.
Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions. Dis­ pose of the batteries in specialised waste facilities if available in your area.
- Use only recommended batteries and accessories.
Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.
- Disconnect the compact power adapter from both the IR camera and the power outlet after recharging and when the IR camera is not in use to avoid fires and other hazards.
Non-stop operation use over a long period of time may cause the device to overheat and deform, resul­ ting in fire.
- Do NOT use the battery charger or compact power adapter if the cable or plug is damaged or if the plug is not properly plugged in.
The battery charger can vary according to different regions.
- Please exercise due caution when attaching the sepa­ rately available tele and close-up lens.
If the lens becomes detached it may shatter and the glass splinters could cause injury.
- If your camera is used over a longer period, the IR camera housing may become warm.
Please take care when operating the IR camera over a longer period as this may experience a burning Camera Malfunctions.
Camera Malfunctions
How to prevent your camera from malfunctioning.
- Avoid any damage to the IR camera’s detector.
- Avoid condensation
Moving the IR camera rapidly between hot and cold environments may cause condensation (water drop­ lets) to form on surfaces both inside and on the out­ side of the camera.
This can be avoided by placing the IR camera in the plastic case and allowing it to gradually adjust to the change in temperature before removing it from the case again.
- When condensation forms inside the camera.
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect any condensation. Failure to do so may result in damage to the IR camera. Remove the SD card and the battery or a disconnect the camera from the mains and wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before resuming use.
- Storing over a longer period
If you are not planning on using your camera for a longer period, remove the battery from the IR camera or the battery charger and store in a safe place. If you store the camera without previously removing the battery, then the battery will run down.

03. PREPARING THE IR CAMERA
Charging the Battery
Proceed as follows when charging the battery for the first time. This procedure also applies for all subse­quent charging cycles, which have to be carried out when the symbol showing that the battery power is too low lights up in the display.
1. Position the edge of the charger so that it is on the same le­ vel as the line on the battery and insert the battery in the direc­ tion of the arrow.
2. Attach the power cord to the battery charger and plug the other end into a po­ wer outlet.
• The charge indicator lights up red while the battery is charging and lights up green when charging is complete.
ATTENTION: It is extremely important that you ensure that the first charging
m
cycle lasts longer than 5 hours but not longer than 7 hours. Only this will ensure that the Li-ion cells are fully activated! Please also ensure that you only use a suitable charger to charge your battery.
• When the charging cycle has been completed, discon­ nect the charger from the mains supply and remove the battery.
• Your camera is equipped with a lithium ion battery which does not have to be fully discharged before it can be recharged. The battery does, however, have a limited life and can be recharged approximately 300x. We therefore recommend that, as a rule, you only re charge the battery when it is exhausted or nearly exhausted. Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery charge status.
Inserting the Battery / SD Card
Insert the battery into the camera as follows:
1. Check that the power is off and open the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert the battery in the direction of the arrow.
3. Insert the SD card in the direction of the arrow.
Remove the battery pack when the camera
is not in use.
m
The SD Card must be formatted in
FAT32. Otherwise the IR camera may not recognize the memory.
