Make sure that the battery locks onto the dock. See the
Battery Charger operator’s manual for more informa-
tion.
Batteries supplied for the LT1000 are rated at 2.2 / 2,2 amp-
hours. When fully charged, depending on use (recording
time, etc.) the LT1000 will run for approximately 2.5 / 2,5
to 3 hours. Battery Status LEDs above keypad indicate
battery charge level. (See Battery Status LED chart.)
NOTICE Turn the LT1000 power OFF before chang-
ing or removing the battery. Removing the battery with
the power ON may cause loss of camera recordings.

Outlet Power
For plug in operation, a double-insulated AC/DC power
supply is supplied to reduce wall outlet voltage to the
correct voltage for the LT1000.
NOTICE The external power supply is intended for
indoor use only.
To power the system up with the power cord, locate
the power supply. The power supply cord has two sec-
tions, one of which plugs into a standard 110 - 120V
two-bladed outlet (US model) or standard 230V 2 pin
outlet (EU model) at one end and plugs into a power
supply at the other end. The second section runs from
the power supply to the back of the LT1000 and plugs
into the jack marked at the far left side front pan-
el of the unit (Figure 24).
With dry hands, connect the two sections together and
insert the jack plug into the jack on the LT1000. Route
the cord along a clear path and with dry hands plug the
power supply into a matching outlet. If using an exten-
sion cord ensure it is of adequate wire gauge. For cords
of 25 feet / 7,5 m, a minimum gauge of 18 AWG / 0,8 mm 2
is required. For cords greater than 25 feet / 7,5 m, a mini-
mum gauge of 16 AWG / 1,5 mm 2 is required.
NOTICE If external power is unreliable and produces
transient voltage spikes, the LT1000 video may freeze. In
this case simply power cycle the LT1000 off and then on.
Job data will not be lost, but current distance count may be
reset.
WARNING If the laptop is plugged into AC and the
laptop AC adapter is not isolated, then a hot ground could
damage a laptop via the USB grounding connection.
Use only a battery or an isolated power supply to pow-
er the LT1000 and any laptop used with it.
