Safety information2WARNINGApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not continue to charge the battery if it does not become charged in the specified charging time. Ifyou continue to charge the battery, it can become hot and cause an explosion or ignition. Injury to per-sons can occur.WARNINGApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Only use the correct equipment to remove the electrical power from the battery. If you do not use thecorrect equipment, you can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery. If you do not usethe correct equipment, an incorrect flow of current to the battery can occur. This can cause the batteryto become hot, or cause an explosion. Injury to persons can occur.WARNINGMake sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and warning labels on con-tainers before you use a liquid. The liquids can be dangerous. Injury to persons can occur.CAUTIONDo 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 effect on the accuracy of thecamera. It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera.CAUTIONDo not use the camera in temperatures more than +50°C (+122°F), unless other information is specifiedin the user documentation or technical data. High temperatures can cause damage to the camera.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more laser pointers.To prevent damage, put the protective cap on the laser pointer when you do not operate the laserpointer. Damage to the laser pointer can occur if you do not do this.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not attach the batteries directly to a car’s cigarette lighter socket, unless FLIR Systems supplies aspecific adapter to connect the batteries to a cigarette lighter socket. Damage to the batteries canoccur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to each other with a metalobject (such as wire). Damage to the batteries can occur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not get water or salt water on the battery, or permit the battery to become wet. Damage to the bat-teries can occur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not make holes in the battery with objects. Damage to the battery can occur.#T559880; r.

Damage to the battery can occur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not put the batteries in or near a fire, or into direct sunlight. When the battery becomes hot, the built-in safety equipment becomes energized and can stop the battery charging procedure. If the battery be-comes hot, damage can occur to the safety equipment and this can cause more heat, damage or igni-tion of the battery.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not put the battery on a fire or increase the temperature of the battery with heat. Damage to the bat-tery and injury to persons can occur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not put the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature locations. Damage to the bat-tery and injury to persons can occur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not solder directly onto the battery. Damage to the battery can occur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Do not use the battery if, when you use, charge, or put the battery in storage, there is an unusual smellfrom the battery, the battery feels hot, changes color, changes shape, or is in an unusual condition.Speak with your sales office if one or more of these problems occurs. Damage to the battery and injuryto persons can occur.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Only use a specified battery charger when you charge the battery. Damage to the battery can occur ifyou do not do this.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.Only use a specified battery for the camera. Damage to the camera and the battery can occur if you donot do this.CAUTIONApplicability: Cameras with one or more batteries.The temperature range through which you can charge the battery is 0°C to +45°C (+32°F to +113°F).

Working with images1414.1 Saving an image14.1.1 GeneralYou can save images to a memory card.The camera saves an image file including all thermal and visual information. This meansthat you can open an image file at a later stage and, for example, select another imagemode, apply color alarms, and add measurement tools.The image jpg file is fully radiometric and saved lossless, which enables full post-proc-essing in FLIR Tools. There is also a regular jpg part (lossy) for convenient viewing innon-FLIR Systems software (Explorer).14.1.2 About UltraMaxUltraMax is an image enhancement feature that increases the image resolution and low-ers the noise, making small objects easier to see and measure. An UltraMax image istwice as wide and high as an ordinary image.When an UltraMax image is captured by the camera, several ordinary images are savedin the same file. Capturing all the images can take up to 1 second. To fully utilize Ultra-Max, the images need to be slightly different, which can be accomplished by a slightmovement of the camera. You should hold the camera firmly in your hands (do not put iton a tripod), which will make these images vary just a little during the capture. Correct fo-cus, a high-contrast scene, and a non-moving target are other conditions that help toachieve a good-quality UltraMax image.At the moment, only FLIR Tools has the ability to process UltraMax images. Other FLIRsoftware will treat the image as a regular image.14.1.3 Image capacityThe capacity of a 4 GB memory card is theoretically 3600 images (with no annotations).14.1.4 Naming conventionThe naming convention for image files is FLIRxxxx.jpg, where xxxx is a unique counter.14.1.5 ProcedureFollow this procedure:1. To save an image, push the Autofocus/Save button fully down.Note• Depending on the settings in (Settings) > Save options, the following mayhappen:◦ A preview image is displayed before the image is saved.◦ An annotation tool or the annotation menu is displayed when the image has beensaved.• To configure UltraMax, select (Settings) > Save options >Image resolution =UltraMax.• The camera can be configured to also save the visual image as a separate file. Select(Settings) > Save options >Photo as separate JPEG =On.#T559880; r. AL/45866/46124; en-US 34
