The mode switch has three positions.

When it is in the up position, the device is turned off. When it is in the middle position, it is turned on. When it is pulled down to the bottom position, the device does an automatic tuning operation, which is described below. When it is released it will go back to the middle position.

S L E E P M O D E

Your FLIR ONE will go into

‘Sleep Mode’ automatically.

To conserve the battery when the FLIR ONE APP is not the focus, your FLIR ONE will automatically go into ‘Sleep Mode’.

To wake your FLIR ONE, momentarily close the MODE SWITCH and return it to the open position.

Periodically it may be necessary to perform a Tuning operation on the FLIR ONE.

This causes the device to do a self-calibration and allows the thermal imager to present an optimized image and a more accurate temperature calculation (see Spot Meter for additional information).

CONTROL PANEL

Select the gear icon in the upper left to open the Control Panel.

S P O T M E T E R

When the Spot Meter is enabled (indicated by an icon with white background), the FLIR ONE™ will display a temperature estimate (in degrees C or F) on the image for approximately

20 seconds after the Tuning operation has been done. The accuracy of the Spot Meter depends on a great many factors, including the distance from the object, the ambient tempera ture, and the emissivity of the material being observed.

L I G H T

Multi Spectral Imaging (MSX

®

) is a patented technology which makes use of the visible camera in the FLIR ONE to maximize detail and image sharpness. This feature requires some amount of visible light, so in dark environments turn on the light to enhance the image detail. This feature makes use of the light that is built into the iPhone.

E M I S S I V I T Y

When the Spot Meter is enabled, the temperature displayed is affected by many factors, including a property of the target material known as emissivity. This property is a relative rating of how well a material emits or radiates thermal energy.

Some materials are more emissive than others; reflective materials like metals tend to be poor emitters. For most materials, the default “matte” setting is a fair approximation.

S AV E G P S L O C AT I O N

If a GPS signal is available, the location will be added to captured images. This makes it possible to see images on a map.

Turn this on to save a copy of your images and videos in the iPhone photo gallery. Images will always be stored in the FLIR

HELP & SUPPORT

Much more information about the FLIR ONE™ is described in the Help & Support feature within the FLIR ONE app.

T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G

FLIR ONE not detected...

If the FLIR ONE™ app is not able to detect the FLIR ONE camera, make sure the iPhone is properly attached to the FLIR ONE and fully engaged. Make sure the FLIR ONE is turned on with the mode switch in the middle position. When the FLIR ONE is turned on, the red Power/Status indicator on the back should be on. Make sure the FLIR ONE is adequately charged up (when the device is plugged into a power source, the charge indicator on the bottom of the device near the micro USB connection will stay lit continuously if the device is fully charged).

Temperature Readings

Not Accurate...

The temperature indicated by the FLIR ONE is always a calculated estimate and never exact. The indicated temperature is affected by many factors, especially the emissivity of the object being observed and the distance to the object. The temperature may be influenced by the time of day, by weather conditions, or by other hot or cold objects in the vicinity that may be reflecting off the intended object.

PRODUCT & SAFETY

BAT T E RY & C H A R G E R I N FO R M AT I O N

This device has an internal, non-removable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device as you may damage the device. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.

Use and standby times are estimates only. Actual times are affected by, for example, device settings, features being used, battery condition, and temperature.

If the battery has not been used for a long time, to begin charging, you may need to connect the charger, then disconnect and reconnect it.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator is displayed.

When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the battery’s lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.

Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Recycle when possible.

Do not dispose as household waste.

Use the charger for its intended purpose only. Improper use or use of unapproved chargers may present a risk of fire, explosion, or other hazard, and may invalidate any approval or warranty. If you believe the charger is damaged, take it to a service center for inspection before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged charger. Only use the charger indoors.

Product & Safety. / User Manual. / 14

TA K E C A R E O F Y O U R D E V I C E

Handle your device, charger and accessories with care.

The following suggestions help you protect your warranty coverage.

• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits. If your device gets wet, allow the device to dry.

• Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty areas.

Moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.

• Do not store the device in cold temperatures. When the device warms to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuits.

• Do not attempt to open the device.

• Unauthorized modifications may damage the device and violate regulations governing radio devices.

• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and mechanics.

•

Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of the device.

R E C Y C L E

Always return your used electronic products , batteries, and packaging materials to dedicated collection points. This way you help prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of materials.

The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, battery, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electri cal and electronic products, batteries, and accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working

life. This requirement applies in the E uropean Union. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste.
