System Overview
3.4.3 Display
The system display is a full color, daylight-readable LCD, which supports viewing and access-
ing all system functions. No additional software programs are required to operate the Fido X4
or to access system data.
3.4.4 Keypad
The system keypad contains the following buttons:
• Power button
• Menu button, for accessing system settings, functions and status
• Multi-directional pad for navigation within system menus
• Back button for reversing navigation
For more information, see "The Keypad" on p. 22.
3.4.5 USB-C port
The Fido X4 has one data port which can be used to connect the device to a PC. USB-C is a
modern standard for Universal Serial Bus and is capable of powering the device and sending
and receiving large amounts of data quickly. When connected to a PC, the Fido X4 behaves
as any standard USB storage device, so data reports generated on the device can be easily
transferred.
3.4.6 Battery
The Fido X4 is equipped with a lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery. The expected battery life under nor-
mal operating conditions is 8 hours. The battery is rechargeable while plugged into the device
or also via an external battery charging adapter. The battery is also hot-swappable, which
allows you to replace the battery during operation without powering the Fido X4 off, greatly
reducing operational downtime.
3.4.6.1 Soft button
The
soft button
is located underneath the handle/grip of the Fido X4. The function of the soft
button is to capture screenshots from the device display to record detector behavior and
alarm results, or for sharing with FLIR technical support for troubleshooting purposes.
Screenshots are saved on the device and are included in data reports.
3.5 Primary consumable components
Before operation, consumables should be transported and stored inside of the hard-shell
case. During operation, consumables should be stored inside packaging, prior to use. For
long-term storage, FLIR recommends storing consumables inside their packaging, at room
temperature.
