Safety
· Never attempt to repair or modify your instrument. Dismantling your product may cause damage that will not be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Servicing should only be provided by an authorized service center.
· Do not point the thermal imager (with or without the lens cover) at intensive energy sources as this can damage the thermal imager.
· Do not use the thermal imager in a temperature higher than 122°F (50°C).
· Always charge the battery between 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).
· Clean the case with a damp cloth and a diluted soap solution.
· Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the instrument, lens or screen.
· Do not clean the infrared lens too vigorously, this can damage the anti-reflective coating.
· Store the thermal imager in cool and dry environment.
· Please use the correct emissivity to obtain accurate temperature measurements.
· To ensure accuracy, please let the instrument warm up for 10 minutes before taking a measurement if it has not been used for a long time.
· When being charged, the internal temperature of the product will rise, which will lead to inaccurate temperature measurement, it is not recommended to take measurements during or right after charging the instrument.

Emissivity
This thermal imager measures infrared energy from the surface of the object and uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value. Surfaces that are good at radiating energy (high emissivity), the emissivity factor is 0.90. Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals are not good at radiating energy (low emissivity) have an emissivity of <0.6. To more accurately measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity correction is necessary. Emissivity is set directly as a value or from a list of emissivity values for some common materials.
The following table gives typical emissivity of some materials:

Material Asphalt Concrete Hard plaster Wood (natural) Lime Stone Ballast chipping Paper (every color) Plastics non film Tissue (fabric) Sand Glass wool Melted asphalt Screed/pavement Foamed polystyrene

Emissivity 0.95 0.95 0.90 0.93 0.98 0.95 0.95 0.95 0.95 0.90 0.90 0.93 0.93 0.94
