WARNING
■
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause in-
terference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interfer-
ence when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his
own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to
correct the interference.
(Applies only to cameras with laser pointer:) Do not look directly into the laser
■
beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery. The battery contains
■
safety and protection devices which, if they become damaged, can cause the
battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or an ignition.
If there is a leak from the battery and the fluid gets into your eyes, do not rub your
■
eyes. Flush well with water and immediately get medical care. The battery fluid
can cause injury to your eyes if you do not do this.
Do not continue to charge the battery if it does not become charged in the specified
■
charging time. If you continue to charge the battery, it can become hot and cause
an explosion or ignition.
Only use the correct equipment to discharge the battery. If you do not use the
■
correct equipment, you can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the
battery. If you do not use the correct equipment, an incorrect flow of current to
the battery can occur. This can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an ex-
plosion and injury to persons.
Make sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and
■
warning labels on containers before you use a liquid. The liquids can be dangerous.
Do not point the infrared camera (with or without the lens cover) at intensive energy
CAUTION
■
sources, for example devices that emit laser radiation, or the sun for a long period
of time. This can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the camera. It can
also cause damage to the detector in the camera.
Do not use the camera in a temperature higher than +50°C (+122°F), unless
■
specified otherwise in the technical data section. High temperatures can cause
damage to the camera.
(Applies only to cameras with laser pointer:) Protect the laser pointer with the
■
protective cap when you do not operate the laser pointer.
Do not attach the batteries directly to a car's cigarette lighter socket.
■
Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to
■
each other with a metal object (such as wire).
Do not get water or salt water on the battery, or permit the battery to get wet.
■
Do not make holes in the battery with objects. Do not hit the battery with a hammer.
■
Do not step on the battery, or apply strong impacts or shocks to it.
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 process. If the battery becomes hot, damage can occur to the
safety equipment and this can cause more heat, damage or ignition of the battery.
