Quick Start Guide
• Ensure that the battery is fully charged and the SD memory card is inserted in the camera
• Keep button “On/ Off” depressed for 2 seconds to switch on the camera.
• Wait till the boot screen image disappears and uncover lens cap. Non Uniformity Calibration (NUC) is performed automatically.
• Aim the camera at the target.
• Rotate the W/T wheel manually to adjust the focus to get clear thermal image or you can press the W/T wheel to get clear thermal image
automatically.
• Press button“☼”and release it instantly and then adjust Tmax, Tmin and palette if necessary.
• Press button “PIC Mode”to switch to live visual image and fusion image.
• In visual image, still rotate the W/T wheel to manually focus or you can press the W/T wheel to get clear visual image.
• Press button“PIC Mode”for 2 seconds to switch between manual and auto modes.
• Press button “OK” for three seconds to freeze the live image.

Using the Camera
Powering on the camera
Keep button On/ Off depressed for 2 seconds to power on the camera.
Then the loading image and boot-up flash as shown below appear on the screen.
After the boot-up flash disappears, live image as shown below is displayed, with Guide logo and temperature setup menu lying at the right side
of the screen.

Non Uniformity Calibration (NUC)
• After powering on the camera and the boot-up flash disappears, the camera will automatically perform 3 times of Non Uniformity Calibration
(NUC) after 5 seconds, 25 seconds, and 45 seconds from switch on.
• While it is working, the camera will automatically perform NUC at a regular frequency. NUC allows the camera to automatically clean up the
live image of noise, ensuring normalisation and sharpness of the live image.
• If necessary, manual NUC can be performed. To perform a NUC manually, keep button C depressed .During the NUC the live image pauses
temporarily, whilst auto gate is placed in front of the lens.
• This process takes only a couple of seconds, however for best results, please ensure that camera is pointed at a low temperature uniform
surface or the lens cap.
Focusing
Thermal camera focusing
There are two methods available to adjust focus: manual and automatic.
Before focusing, ensure the lens cap is uncovered and there is no icon chosen in live thermal image, no matter whether there are menu or dialog
box displayed or not.
• To manually focus, aim the lens at the target and then rotate the W/T wheel to get clear image.
• To automatically focus, press the W/T wheel inwards and then release.
Visual camera focusing
There are two methods available to adjust focus: manual and automatic.
• Press button “PIC Mode” to switch from thermal image to visual image.
• To manually focus, aim the lens at the target and then rotate the W/T wheel to get clear visual image.
• To automatically focus, press the W/T wheel inwards and then release.
Note: When the temperature difference between the target and its surroundings is not great, it is advisable to focus manually to get a clear
image of the target.

at the right side of the image. Or press button M to enter main menu and then press button Left or Right to highlight button Tools, press
button up to highlight submenu Palette and press button M to bring up the temperature setup menu. Then press the up and down button to
change the Tmax value, and press the button Left and Right to change the Tmin value.
• If changing values of Tmax and Tmin in Auto mode, the camera will immediately switch to manual mode.
• Altering values of Tmax and Tmin actually changes the display effect of a certain palette.
• The standard temperature range of the camera is -20 to 250°C.
• After changing the option values, press button OK to save the setting and exit the menu.
• Using the touch pen can also do the above operations. Firstly, click the palette with touch pen to change option values of Tmax and Tmin.
Click the palette again with touch pen to change the palette. Click the palette thridly to save and exit Tmax, Tmin and palette change mode.
Basic Temperature Measurement
For basic temperature measurement, firstly ensure that a suitable temperature range is set and that the image is in focus. Two methods are
available, dynamic real-time temperature measurement and static temperature measurement.
Dynamic real-time temperature measurement
• There are two cursors on the live thermal image. One is always fixed in the centre of the image; the other is always tracing the hottest spot of
the image.
• Two temperatures are present on the thermal image. The one always in the middle of the image indicates the center temperature, the other
one always tracks and indicates the maximum scene temperature.
Static Temperature Measurement
• This method is available when there is no menu displayed in frozen or saved thermal images.
• Keep the camera steady when you have the image in focus, press Button OK for three seconds to freeze the live image;
• Static temperature measurement can be done on a saved image as well.
• Move the center cursor by pressing the buttons Up, Down, Left and Right. The temperature varies along with the cursor moving. While the
place and temperature of the hottest spot never changes.
