3.1 General notes on using the thermal imaging
camera
WARNING
!
Strictly observe the following notes.
Failure to comply may cause injury or death!
The thermal imaging camera is not a life-supporting device and

must therefore not be used as such.
The operating time of every battery will be reduced if used in

environments with high or very low temperatures.
The rechargeable batteries supplied with the thermal imaging

camera were selected based on certain performance criteria. To
ensure reliable operation, only use the batteries specified in the
order list (see section 9 on page 46).
The thermal imaging camera is a complex electro-optical device

and may be subject to possible malfunctions like any other
electronic system. In case of camera failure, the user will not
receive thermal images anymore. When using this thermal
imaging camera on tactical missions, follow the procedures that
have been put in place for operations without a thermal imaging
camera.
All users must familiarize themselves with the proper function and

the performance limits of the thermal imaging camera before use.
This includes general understanding of thermal images and how
they are interpreted.
Dräger recommends Dräger Academy or third-party training, e. g.
at a firefighter school. Contact Dräger for additional information.
The thermal imaging camera may only be used by persons who

are familiar with its use and performance limits. This includes use
under simulated fire conditions (e. g. controlled fire situations).
36
Do not use the thermal imaging camera as the sole navigation

source. Otherwise, a malfunction of the device may cause loss of
orientation, injury or even death.
The thermal imaging camera features a class 2 laser pointer

(650 nm, visible red). The laser light may be dangerous for the
eyes. Do not look directly into the laser beam. Do not point the
laser at a person's head! Always switch off the laser pointer when
it is not used. A laser warning symbol in the display shows when
the laser pointer is active.
