To enhance thermal resistance, the TIC4X has added protection around the hand strap to
ensure effective thermal resistance (>5min @ 500°F).
Please take caution when adjusting hand straps, gloves are recommend as the Velcro
contains metal hooks which may be hot after exposure to heat.

2.1 Mounting the Pistol Grip:
The pistol grip is premounted on the camera if ordered with this option. The grip can be easily
demounted/mounted within seconds. The necessary tool (standard hex wrench) is part of scope of supply.
2.2 Change of Batteries
The camera's energy design is based on the latest LiFePO4 (nanophosphate) batteries. These cells are
far superior to the usual NiCd and NiMh batteries with respect to:
- up to > 5000 charging cycles and extreme performance even in frost
- No emission of inflammable POTASSIUM HYDRIDE GASES at high temperature
Batteries and battery packs are processed to guarantee correct polarity. Please insert them into the
shaft so that the "blank" side (contact face) points downwards. Protective class IP67 is only guaranteed
if the compartment is tightly closed.
- Do not replace batteries when in hazardous atmosphere.
The batteries are kept ready to the left and right in the battery
compartments.
The compartments can be easily opened with a coin within
seconds.

2.3 Aramid protective cover (option)
Use of the heat resistant aramid protective cover is
recommended to lower the effort of cleaning and extend the
lifetime and operating time of the camera. The camera is
additionally protected against mechanical damage and
chemicals.
Pull the protective cover over the camera and close the
Velcro fasteners. Protective covers wear out with frequent
use and can be ordered as spare parts.
The camera can be charged in the charging bay with or
without the protective cover.
Positions of keys are additionally marked in color.
The protective cover doubles the heat resistant time.
