My Flir One Pro came with a thin page that identifies itself as the Quick Start Guide.
Constantly forgetting to get my reading glasses out, I finally start at the side with lots of almost microscopic printing. Turned out that's the multi-language warranty section. The slightly larger type on the other side is mostly the United States Limited Warranty.
The actual instructions on this Guide were simply:
So I downloaded the app. It comes up saying
So, I plug in my Flir One Pro, and nothing happens. I wait for minutes. I try plugging and unplugging. I try terminating and restarting the FLIR ONE app. I still get no response.
OK, too late, I gave up for that night.
The next day, I took a look at the Quickstart manual again, and remembered the website. Aha. As instructed, I typed this into my Safari browser:
FLIR.COM/FLIRONE/Start
It comes up to the FLIR product page. No Help.

Some site searching gets me to FLIR ONE faqs, I couldn't seem to find an actual manual.
Sure enough there's a battery faq. Apparently there is an internal battery that needs to be charged. OK. So I start charging, and see a blinking green light. What does that mean??? The FAQ doesn't say. I try posting the question, it seems to recognize my blogger ID. Post rejected saying "missing item."
I suspected there was no manual after all this time, but still more searching I found the actual Support Page, and then with more tricky navigating, I finally got to, The Manual.
And the manual makes it quite clear, the light blinks while it is charging.
Total online searching time: 15 minutes. Total wasted time about one hour. One missed opportunity to use.
