Getting started
Please note that the instrument should acclimatise to the current environmental conditions before
connecting it to the charger. Do not charge the instrument in hot or cold places. Charging in
extreme temperatures will reduce the capacity of the battery. The micro USB cable can be used
for charging but also for transferring images.

Charging the battery
The PCE-TC 30N thermal imaging camera has a built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery.
If the battery level is low, this is indicated by the symbol

the thermal imaging camera via the micro USB interface.
To do this, proceed as follows:
-
Connect the supplied USB cable to the micro USB interface of the thermal imaging
camera.
-
Connect the other side of the USB cable to the supplied mains adaptor.
-
Now plug the mains adaptor into a protected contact socket designed for this
purpose.
Note
Before charging, make sure that the battery, charger and camera are acclimatised to the current
environmental conditions. Charging under extreme temperatures can have a negative impact on
the battery life.
Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours.
