CAUTION
Do not use too much force to clean the infrared lens. This can cause damage to the anti-reflective
coating.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras with a heatshield.
When you operate the camera in high-temperature conditions, you must install a heatshield on the cam-
era. If you use the camera in high-temperature conditions without a heatshield, damage to the camera
can occur.
Note The encapsulation rating is only applicable when all the openings on the camera
are sealed with their correct covers, hatches, or caps. This includes the compartments for
data storage, batteries, and connectors.
CAUTION
Applicability: FLIR GF309.
The exceptionally wide temperature range of the FLIR GF309 infrared camera is designed for performing
highly accurate electrical and mechanical inspections and can also “see through flames” for inspecting
gas-fired furnaces, chemical heaters and coal-fired boilers. IN ORDER TO DERIVE ACCURATE TEM-
PERATURE MEASUREMENTS IN THESE ENVIRONMENTS THE FLIR GF309 OPERATOR MUST
HAVE A STRONG UNDERSTANDING OF RADIOMETRIC FUNDAMENTALS AS WELL AS THE PROD-
UCTS AND CONDITIONS OF COMBUSTION THAT IMPACT REMOTE TEMPERATURE MEASURE-
MENT. The Infrared Training Center (ITC) offers a wide range of world class infrared training for
thermography professionals including FLIR GF309 operators. For more information about obtaining the
training and certification you require, contact your FLIR Systems sales representative or ITC at http://www.

CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras with a viewfinder.
Make sure that the beams from the intensive energy sources do not go into the viewfinder. The beams
can cause damage to the camera. This includes the devices that emit laser radiation, or the sun.
