5 Solución de problemas

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your HIKMICRO PocketC.

5.1 O dispositivo non se acende

• Asegúrate de que a batería estea suficientemente cargada. Conecta o dispositivo a unha fonte de alimentación e déixao cargar durante polo menos 30 minutos antes de tentar acendelo de novo.
• Press and hold the power button firmly for several seconds.

5.2 Lecturas de temperatura inexactas

• Verify that the emissivity setting is correctly adjusted for the material being measured. Different materials have different emissivities.
• Ensure there are no obstructions between the camera lens and the target object.
• Check the distance to the object; extreme distances can affect accuracy.

5.3 Connectivity Issues (e.g., Bluetooth)

If you experience difficulty connecting the camera to other devices (e.g., for data transfer), ensure that the connection settings are correctly configured on the camera. Navigate to the 'Connections' menu in the device settings to verify Bluetooth status and pairing options.
