Power
The battery level is shown in the bottom right corner of the screen when
the camera is in TEST mode. When a single line remains, the camera will
continue to take photos but we strongly recommend to change the AA
batteries or charge the lithium battery pack before they are empty. (see
figure below). If a video is being recorded and the batteries level reaches
0%, the camera saves the file before shutting down.
AA BATTERIES
This camera requires 6 AA batteries (1.5V). The use of alkaline or lithium
batteries is strongly recommended. During the installation of the AA batte-
ries, slide the battery switch to ALK (i.e. alkaline). Insert the batteries as
indicated inside the battery case. Battery polarity must be followed.
Please note that the voltage of rechargeable AA batteries (1.2V) is
insufficient to power the SPYPOINT ® camera. We also recommend the
use of new batteries to ensure maximum performance of the camera.
LITHIUM BATTERY PACK
This SPYPOINT ® camera can be powered by a rechargeable lithium battery
pack LIT-09/LIT-C-8 (sold separately, p.19). This type of battery is less
affected by cold temperatures and lasts up to 3 times longer than an alka-
line batteries. During the installation of the lithium battery, slide the battery
switch to LIT-09.
EXTERNAL (12V)
This camera can also be powered by an external 12-volt DC input such as
a 12-volt battery (KIT-12V, BATT-12V or KIT6V/12V) or a 12-volt adapter
(AD-12V), each sold separately (p.19). During the installation of a 12-volt
connection, slide the battery switch to ALK (the AA batteries can remain
safely inside the camera). If combined with a lithium battery pack, slide the
battery switch to LIT-09. For available accessories, see p.19.
SOLAR PANEL
This camera also offers the possibility to connect a solar panel (SP-12V sold
separately, p.19) to maintain the charge of the lithium battery pack
(sold separately, p.19). While installing the rechargeable lithium battery
pack, slide the battery switch to LIT-09 to activate the charging system of
the solar panel.
