2 Warning and Cautions
WARNING
1 The user must be trained and thoroughly
familar with the proper operation and
limitations of the Transmitter. Use in
controlled exercises is suggested before
using the equipment in actual emergency
situations. Improper use of the equipment in
a hazardous atmoshere could result in
serious injury or death.
2 Do not rely on the TIC´s image as the sole
means of navigation or deviate from
standard fire-fighting practices during use.
Most electronic devices will cease to operate
at certain high temperature extremes.
Exposure to excessive thermal conditions
may result in deterioration and loss of
transmission.
3 This Transmitter is not rated as "Intrinscally
Safe". Do not use the system in
environments, or atmosheres where static or
sparks may cause an explosion.
4 Before entering a hostile environment, test
the Transmitter as specified in the
instructions to ensure that it is functional.
After each use inspect the system to
determine if servicing is required.
5 Replacement batteries must be identical to
the ratings and configuration of those
supplied with the equipment.
6 Do not remove the case or cover of the
electronics. Only authorized personnel may
service the unit.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE
WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION
1 Ensure that the battery is fully charged
before use. If not fully charged, the system
will not operate for the specified amount of
time. Monitor level during use and be
prepared to exit the hazardous area when a
low battery warning is observed.
2 Electromagnetic radiation (radio transmis-
sion) may cause interference. Minimize other
nearby radio transmissions if exessive
interference occurs.
3 Do not drop the Transmitter. Although the
system is designed to withstand normal
impacts that occur in fire service, such
impacts may alter the transmission or
damage the unit.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE CAUTIONS
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH.
LIMITATIONS
1 Although the Transmitter is water resistant,
the thermal imaging camera does not
provide under water images.
2 The system will show reduced or no
performance when transmitting video signals
through thick walls of concrete or other
building materials.
3 Operation
Operation
Getting started
The rechargable batteries supplied with the
Transmitter must be fully charged before use. Also,
periodically check and replace the battery in an
actively-used transmission system.
See "Battery care and Installation" later in
this manual.
