1.

Attach your FLIR One to your iPhone or Android. You might not be aware, but the FLIR ONE has two cameras – one visible and one thermal. Make sure that both cameras, and the FLIR logo are facing you. Oh, and make sure you don’t put your fingers or palm over these lenses.

2.

Power On the FLIR ONE and Open your FLIR ONE app.

3.

Once the App opens and you see a thermal image on the screen, rotate your phone so that the FLIR One attachment is on the top. Having the FLIR ONE at the top ensures the optimum Thermie angle.

4.

Find the various photo options at the bottom of the screen and choose ‘Photo’ or square, depending on your preference. Then pose, smile and push the Blue button to take a photo. You can review the images by opening the Library icon in the bottom left of the screen.

5.

Once you’ve found the perfect Thermie, share it on your favorite social channels by hitting the Share button at the bottom of an image, then select the channel you want to share it to. When you post make sure to tag FLIR and GoThermalSA with #MyFirstThermie or #Thermie.
