Battery Life and Power-Saving Features

To preserve battery life, the Thermal Imager goes into

Sleep Mode after 5 minutes of no activity. Sleep Mode

maintains a ready-to-go, warmed-up condition, but uses a

fraction of normal operating battery current. After another

15 minutes of no activity, the Thermal Imager turns itself

completely off. Although you can turn off the Thermal

Imager with the button, you never have to because of its

auto power-off feature.
Using the supplied M12 battery, continuous operating

time is at least 3 hours with the LED flashlight off. If you

are using the Thermal Imager intermittently, Sleep Mode

extends operating time to an entire work day or longer.
A Fuel Gauge on the Thermal Imager display shows the

capacity remaining in the battery. See Figure 6. When 10%

of charge remains, the Fuel Gauge reads empty and blinks

on and off. This is the time to replace the battery with a

charged one, or charge the battery as soon as you can.

When no charge remains, a Low-Battery Message appears

on the display for 3 seconds. Then the Thermal Imager

shuts itself off.
