FLIR Fido® X4 Operations Manual 9 Understanding Alerts When the Fido X4 indicates that possible explosives have been detected, it’s important to understand what it means and have a plan in place to deal with the response. When the Fido X4 indicates that explosives have been detected: • Don’t panic. • Confirm and investigate. • Follow your protocols. 9.1 Don’t Panic It is important that the operator of the Fido X4 be able to maintain awareness and presence of mind.
Understanding Alerts Investigate the alarm: Once an alert has been confirmed a second time, it is important to try to determine the root cause of the alarm. There are legitimate reasons why a person might trigger an alarm. For example: • In many regions of the world, ammonium nitrate – which can be used as an explosive – is also commonly used as fertilizer. If a person has handled ammonium nitrate fertilizer, they might cause an alert.
