7.1 Position the DERMALOG FLC1
Only use the DERMALOG FLC1 indoors.
Place the DERMALOG FLC1 on a suitable mount, e.g. a tripod.
Observe the recommended temperature range for the DERMALOG FLC1 to operate (see chapter 5).
Provide adequate space around the DERMALOG FLC1 for operation and maintenance. Air circulation is
required to cool the device. Do not restrict the air flow around the device.
Use the DERMALOG FLC1 only in a dry environment.
Keep the working environment always clean and dust-free.
Do NOT expose the DERMALOG FLC1 to:
 direct sunlight
 excessive dust, heat or humidity (for example, through water heater or humidifier)
 an atmosphere where ammonia gas or volatile or flammable chemicals are present (for example,
alcohol, paint thinner)
 vibrations
 rapid temperature changes
 magnetic fields (for example, if placed near loudspeakers, televisions or radios)
To achieve optimal results, follow the recommendations from DERMALOG:
Do NOT point the DERMALOG FLC1 at a heat source because this may lead to inaccurate
measurements of the person’s body temperature. The person must also NOT directly be
exposed to radiation from heat sources (e.g. from a heater in the room).
