BATTERY AND POWER INFORMATION
HomePatrol-1 comes with an AC adapter to connect the unit to an AC power source and a DC adapter
for use in your automobile. In addition, HomePatrol-1 also requires four (4) AA Alkaline or NiMH
rechargeable batteries (one set of four NiMH rechargeable batteries is included with the unit).
NOTE: These rechargeable batteries do not require a recharging station; you can leave them in the
unit and select to recharge them when HomePatrol-1 is connected to AC power.
Installing the Batteries
From the back of the HomePatrol-1 unit:
1. Slide the battery cover lock to the right to unlock the battery cover.
2. Press and push down on the center to disengage the battery cover.
3. Insert the batteries according to the directional label inside.
4. Replace and relock the battery cover.
Recharging the Batteries
The rechargeable batteries included with HomePatrol-1 are 2300 mAh. You can set how long it will take
to recharge a battery from a drained state to a fully charged state through the Set Charge Time menu on
the Advanced Menu. Then, when you connect HomePatrol-1 to a power source and allow battery
charging, HomePatrol-1 uses that data to charge the batteries. HomePatrol will charge the batteries
whether or not the unit is turned on, in standby mode, or powered off.
When battery power drops below a certain level, a Battery Low pop-up displays the following message:
“Batteries are low. Replay and Recording disabled. Connect external power to prevent data loss.”
