Troubleshooting

Possible cause

The battery is completely discharged.

Solution

Charge the battery.

Possible cause

The USB cable is damaged.

Solution

Replace the USB cable.

Possible cause

The external power supply is discharged.

Solution

Charge the external power supply (if necessary).

Possible cause

Calibration is required.

Solution

Perform image calibration according to the Calibration Mode section of the manual.

Solution

If the image does not clear after calibration, you need to recalibrate.

Possible cause

Manual calibration has been performed with the lens cover open.

Solution

Check the Calibration Mode, close the lens cover and calibrate the device.

Possible cause

Brightness or contrast level is too low.

Solution

Adjust the brightness or contrast level in the Quick Menu.

Possible cause

The device was exposed to static charges during operation.

Solution

When the exposure to static charges is over, the device may either reboot automatically or require to be switched off and on again.

Possible cause

The object is behind glass, which obstructs thermal vision.

Solution

Remove the glass.

Possible cause

These problems may occur during observation in adverse weather conditions (snow, rain, fog, etc.).

Possible cause

In warm climates, objects in the background of a thermal image heat up differently because of thermal conductivity, generating a high temperature contrast and a sharper thermal image.

In cold climates, objects in the background of a thermal image will cool down to roughly the same temperature, which leads to a greatly reduced temperature contrast and a degraded image quality. This is normal for all thermal imaging devices.

Possible cause

Device password has been changed.

Solution

Delete the network and connect again using the password saved in the device.

Possible cause

The device is in an area with too many Wi-Fi networks that may be causing signal interference.

Solution

To ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection, relocate the device to an area with fewer or no Wi-Fi networks.

Possible cause

The device has a 5 GHz network enabled, but the smartphone only supports 2.4 GHz.

Solution

Switch the device's Wi-Fi bandwidth to 2.4 GHz.

Possible cause

Smartphone or tablet is out of range of a strong Wi-Fi signal. There are obstacles between the device and the smartphone or tablet (e.g., concrete walls).

Solution

Relocate smartphone or tablet into the Wi-Fi signal line of sight.

Possible cause

There is an object in front of the receiver or emitter lens preventing signal transmission.

Solution

Make sure that: the lenses are not blocked by your hand or fingers; the lenses are clean.

Possible cause

The device is not being held steadily when measuring.

Solution

Keep the device steady when measuring.

Possible cause

Distance to the object exceeds 1000 m.

Solution

Pick an object at a distance not longer than 1000m.

Possible cause

Low reflection ratio (i.e. leaves of trees).

Solution

Pick an object with higher reflection ratio (see point Additional Information in section Laser Rangefinder).

Possible cause

Inclement weather conditions (rain, mist, snow)
