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 explosion 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
sources, for example devices that emit laser radiation, or the sun. 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 user documentation. 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.
Applies only to cameras with battery:
Do not attach the batteries directly to a car's cigarette lighter socket, unless a
■
specific adapter for connecting the batteries to a cigarette lighter socket is
provided by FLIR Systems.
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.
Do not put the battery on a fire or increase the temperature of the battery with
■
heat.
Do not put the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature loca-
■
tions.
Do not solder directly onto the battery.
■
Do not use the battery if, when you use, charge, or store the battery, there is
■
an unusual smell from the battery, the battery feels hot, changes color, changes
shape, or is in an unusual condition. Contact your sales office if one or more
of these problems occurs.
Only use a specified battery charger when you charge the battery.
