Calibration

(This notice only applies to cameras with measurement capabilities.)

We recommend that you send in the camera for calibration once a year. Contact

your local sales office for instructions on where to send the camera.

Accuracy

(This notice only applies to cameras with measurement capabilities.)

For very accurate results, we recommend that you wait 5 minutes after you have

started the camera before measuring a temperature.

For cameras where the detector is cooled by a mechanical cooler, this time period

excludes the time it takes to cool down the detector.

Disposal of

electronic waste

10742803;a1

As with most electronic products, this equipment must be disposed of in an environ-

mentally friendly way, and in accordance with existing regulations for electronic waste.

Please contact your FLIR Systems representative for more details.
