1.1 Cautions

Caution!
This guide uses the term Caution to indicate a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, may result in injury, damage to the vehicle or PathFindIR
system, or other property damage.
Caution!
The PathFindIR thermal imaging system is designed for commercial, over the
road, automotive applications. While many other applications are possible, you
must carefully consider additional protection and installation methods that
might be required for any given application. Mechanical, environmental and
electrical requirements should be evaluated to assure that the PathFindIR
system can be utilized with satisfactory results.
Do not operate any function that takes your attention away from safely
driving your vehicle.
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed
after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location
before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.
Consult your local and state driving regulations prior to installation.
In many states using active monitors in view of the driver is prohibited. Consult
your local and state driving regulations for laws and guidelines. User assumes
all risks and indemnifies the manufacturer from any liability.
Minimize display viewing while driving.
Viewing the display may distract you from looking ahead and may result in an
accident. Do not use the PathFindIR thermal imaging system as a substitute
for headlights or headlight assisted human vision during vehicle operation.
Use this product for mobile 12v applications.
The PathFindIR system is designed for the automotive 12 VDC power
environment and conforms to ISO 7637-2 requirements for transients and
disturbances on the typical automotive power system. If the PathFindIR system
is installed in applications other than commercial automobiles, additional
power conditioning or protection may be required.
When installing the PathFindIR camera, do not block the vehicle's vents or
radiator panels.
Doing so may result in heat buildup, equipment breakage, and/or fire.
