• has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or

• has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

• Consult an expert when in doubt operation, safety or connection of the device.

• Maintenance, modifications and repairs only be completed by a technician or an authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.

b) LiPo batteries

• The rechargeable battery is permanently built into the product and cannot be replaced.
• Never damage the rechargeable battery. Damaging the casing of the rechargeable battery might cause an explosion or a fire! Unlike conventional batteries/rechargeable batteries (e.g. AA or AAA type), the casing of the LiPo rechargeable battery does not consist of a thin sheet but rather a sensitive plastic film only.

about the short-circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Do not throw the battery or the product into fire. There is a danger of fire and explosion!

• Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do are not using the product. Due to the rechargeable battery technology being used, you do not need to discharge the rechargeable battery first.
• Never charge the rechargeable battery of the product unattended.
• When charging, place the product on a surface that is not heat-sensitive. It is normal that a certain amount of heat is generated during charging!

c) Set the emissivity value

For accurate temperature readings, it is important to select an emissivity value to match the emissivity of the surface being measured.

See section 11. e) "Settings", "Emissivity" for how to change emissivity values.

See section 13. "Emissivity" for a list of values for common objects.

d) Capture screen image

Press the photo button (11) to capture the image and data shown on the display (1).

• Press the right ▶ button (5) to save the image.
• Press the left ◀ button (3) to discard the image

12. Software

• Download the software from www.conrad.com/downloads.
• Use the software to manage files, mark images up, and analyze data.
  • Use the included cable to connect the micro USB port (7) to an available USB-A port on your computer.

13. Emissivity

When using the thermal camera, always consider the emissivity of what you are looking at.

Emissivity is a measure of how well an object radiates the heat, which affects how accurate the temperature measurement reflected off that object is.

Emissivity values range from 0 (reflects all energy) to 1 (perfectly absorbs and reflects all energy).

An object can be cool to the touch but look hot if it reflects a nearby source of heat, or feel warm but appear cooler than other surfaces of the same temperature.

Emissivity of common objects

Material Emissivity	Material Emissivity
Wood 0.85 Black paper	0.86
Water 0.96 Polycarbonate	0.80
Brick 0.75 Concrete	0.97
Stainless steel 0.14 Copper oxide	0.78
Tape 0.96 Cast iron	0.81
Adhesive tape 0.09 Rust	0.80
Copper plate 0.06 Gypsum	0.75
Dark aluminium	0.95 Paint	0.90
Human skin 0.98 Rubber		0.95
Asphalt	0.96 Soil		0.93

14. Care and cleaning

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.

• Disconnect the USB cable before each cleaning.
• Clean the product with a dry, fibre-free cloth.

15. Disposal
