11 Getting started
11.1 Switching the device on/off
Press and hold the power button (A) for about 3 seconds to switch on the thermal
imaging camera.
The screen lights up, and the device takes a few seconds to complete calibration.
After a short time, the display shows a thermal image.
Note:
Once switched on, the thermal imaging camera requires sufficient warm-up
time to ensure the most accurate temperature measurements and the best
image quality.
Press and hold the power button (A) for about 5 seconds to switch off the thermal
imaging camera.
11.2 Temperature calibration
The inherent temperature drift of the thermal sensor can affect the accuracy of
measurements.
Therefore, you should calibrate the sensor by pressing and holding the OK button
(G) and then releasing it. You will then hear a click.
11.3 Setting the emissivity value
For accurate temperature readings, it is important to select an emissivity value
to match the emissivity of the surface being measured. More information on how
to change the emissivity value can be found in section 13.3 "Parameter menu"
under the menu item "Emissivity value" as well as in section 13.6 "Settings" under
the menu item "Emissivity value". Also, refer to section 16 "Emissivity value"
for a list of the emissivity values of the common objects for surface temperature
measurements.
