Control Panel
The control panel is used to change parameters or select functions and options. Table 6 lists the
functions of the buttons on the Control Panel.
Primary and Secondary Triggers
The two-part trigger is located in the standard trigger position for a pistol-grip device. The larger, green
trigger is the primary trigger. The smaller, black trigger is the secondary trigger.
In normal operation (video is off), use the primary trigger to capture an image to save or edit. When
video is on, use the primary trigger to start/stop recording a video.
The secondary trigger operates the LaserSharp Auto Focus System (see LaserSharp Auto Focus
System) and the Laser Pointer/Distance Finder (see Distance).
Basic Operation
Turn On and Off the Imager
Before you use the Imager for the first time, charge the battery for a minimum of two and one-half
hours. See Charge Batteries.
To turn on or turn off the Imager, push and hold
for 2 seconds.
To maximize the life of the battery, use the Power Save and Auto Off features. See Table 13 for more
information about how to set these features.
Note
All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time for accurate temperature measurements and
best image quality. Warm-up time can vary by model and environmental conditions. Although
most imagers are fully warmed up in 3 minutes to 5 minutes, wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the
most accurate temperature measurement is important to your application. When you move an
Imager between environments with large differences in ambient temperature, allow for additional
adjustment time.
