Please Read
Test Shots
Before you try to shoot important subjects, we highly recommend
that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the IR camera is
operating and being operated correctly.
Please note that SAT, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its
distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising
from any malfunction of an IR camera or accessory that results in
the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format
that is machine readable.
Warning Against Copyright Infringement
Safety Precautions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and
understand the safety precautions described below.Always ensure
that the IR camera is operated correctly.
The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to
instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the IR camera and
its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other
persons and equipment.

Warnings
Read on to learn about using IR camera properly.
Avoid damaging eyesight

Warning: Do not trigger the laser pointer in human or animal eyes.
Exposure to the laser produced by the laser pointer may damage
eyesight.
Do not disassemble
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is
not expressly described this guide
Stop operating immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes

Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn
the IR camera’s power off, remove the IR camera battery or unplug the
power cord from the power outlet. Confirm that smoke and fume
emissions have ceased.
Stop operating immediately if it is dropped or the casing is

damaged
Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn
the IR camera’s power off, remove the IR camera battery or unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.
Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners

or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the IR
camera
The use of these substances may lead to fire.
Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe

away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of
the power outlet and the surrounding area
In dust, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around
the plug over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity
and short-circuit, leading to fire.
7
Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet
Handling it with wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When
unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug.
Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the
wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires and electrical shocks.
Do not cut, alter or place heavy items on the power adapter

cord
Any of these actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may
lead to fire or electrical shock.
Use only the recommended power accessories

Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this IR camera
may lead to overheating, distortion of the IR camera, fire, electrical
shock or other hazards.
Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose them

to directly to flame or heat
Neither should you immerse them in water. Such exposure may
damage the batteries and lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire,
electrical shock, explosion or serious injury.
Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the

batteries
This is serious risk of injury due to an explosion. Immediately flush with
water any area of the body, including the eyes and mouth, or clothing,
that comes into contact with the inner contents of a battery. If the eyes
or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water and
seek medical assistance.
Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts

that could damage the casings
It could lead to leakage and injury.
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects,

such as key holders
It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.
8
Before you discard a battery, cover the terminal with tape or
other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects
Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste
containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard the batteries in
specialized waste facilities if available in your area.
Use only recommended batteries and accessories

Using of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may
cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the
surroundings.
Disconnect the compact power adapter from both the IR

camera and power outlet after recharging and when the IR
camera is not in use to avoid fires and other hazards
Continuous use over a long period of time may cause the unit to
overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
Do not use the battery charger or compact power adapter if the

cable or plug is damaged, or if the plug is not fully inserted
into the power outlet
The battery charger varies according to region.
Exercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold

tele-lens, close-up lens
If the lens is loosened and fallen off, the glass shards may cause an
injury.
If your camera is used for prolong periods, the IR camera body

may become warm
Please take care when operating the IR camera for an extended period
as your hands may experience a burning sensation.
9
Prevent Malfunction
Read on to learn about preventing malfunction of IR camera
Avoid damaging the detector of the IR camera

Warning: Do not aim the IR camera directly into the sun or at other
intense heat source which could damage the detector of the IR
camera.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems

Moving the IR camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may
cause condensation (water droplets) on its external and internal
surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the IR camera in the plastic case (bundle)
and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it
from the case.
If Condensation Forms Inside the IR Camera

Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.
Continue to use may damage the IR camera. Remove the PC card, and
battery or a household power source, from the IR camera and wait until
moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the IR camera for extended periods of time, remove the
battery from the IR camera or battery charger and store the IR camera in
a safe place. Storing the IR camera for extended periods with battery
installed will run down the battery.

Preparing the IR Camera
Charging the Battery Pack
Follow the steps below to charge the battery pack for the first timeand
subsequently when the low battery icon appears on the LCD Display.
Align the edge of the battery

1 pack with the line on the
battery, then insert the battery
in the direction of the arrow.
2 Attach the power cord to the battery charger and plug the
other end into a power outlet.
• After charging, unplug the battery charger and remove the battery
pack.
• This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to discharge it

completely before recharging. It can be recharged at any time. However,
since the maximum number of charge cycle is approximately 300
(battery life), you are recommended to only charge the battery pack after
having discharge it completely to prolong battery life.
• Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and

battery pack charge state.
14
