Training
Read and understand this entire manual. Training and practice are
required before use of this equipment in a hazardous situation. Use of
a thermal imager without proper training may place the user at higher
risk in dangerous situations which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING: This is not, nor is it intended to be, an exhaustive list of
behaviors of infravred energy that differ from visible light. Use of this
thermal imaging camera must be part of a complete training program.
Interpretation of the thermal image requires training and experience.
Do not use this product if you have not been thoroughly trained in its
use and operation. Use of this product without proper training and
thorough understanding of its operation may cause errors in judgment
based on misinterpretation of the thermal imaging information, which
could result in serious injury or death.
The training must include extensive practice with the thermal imager
in a variety of non-hazardous and hazardous environments to develop
a complete understanding of how to interpret the thermal image.
The user must be able to distinguish between relatively harmless and
potentially hazardous sources of heat. The user must also be able to
distinguish between actual sources of heat and reflected images of
heat sources. Because different brands and models of thermal imagers
may operate differently, always update training with each new piece of
equipment.
