Proceed as follows to capture and save a basic image set:

Note

An SD card must be installed for the Thermal Imager to save images and data. If no SD card is installed, you will see the error message on the display: “NO SD CARD.”

1.Press and hold (center button on the directional keypad) for 2 to 3 seconds until you see activity on the display.

2.The Thermal Imager displays progress messages about Sensor Calibration during warm-up. From Sleep Mode, warm-up is almost instantaneous. Until warm-up is complete, button presses are ignored.

3.If the time and date are not already set, the Settings Menu appears so you can set these.

Figure 7 shows TIME selected for setting. To set the time, press the button to open the time setting menu. Use the arrow keys to set the current time, then press the button to return to SETTINGS. Press

twice to select DATE, then set the date the same way you set the time. Once any settings are changed, the new settings stay in memory when the power is turned off.

4.Open the lens cap by pinching the buttons on the sides of the lens cap. Flip it open until it snaps in place on top of the Thermal Imager.

5.Observe the live thermal image on the display as shown in Figure 8. Rotate the focus ring on the thermal sensor lens for maximum sharpness. Make small focus adjustments and wait for the image to settle before making another adjustment. Focusing has a different feel than it does with visual image cameras.
