SPYPOINT Force-20 Trail Camera (Brown) - Manual (Page 7)

AA BATTERIES
The camera can be powered by 8 AA batteries (1.5 V). The use of alkaline or lithium
batteries is strongly recommended. Be sure to respect the polarity indications (+)
and (-) when inserting the batteries.
To ensure maximum performance of your camera and prevent battery leakage, we
recommend using new batteries. Be sure to respect the polarity indications (+) and
(-) when inserting the batteries. Do not use a variety of battery types. This means
only alkaline or only lithium batteries must be used.
Rechargeable AA batteries are not recommended as the lower voltage they
generate can cause operational issues.
EXTERNAL 12 V BATTERY
For best possible results and maximum battery life, we recommend using an external
12 V power source such as an external 12 V battery (KIT-12V, BATT-12V, or KIT6V/12V,
sold separately).
Plug the cable into the 12 V jack found under the device.
Be sure to respect the polarity indications (+) and (-) when inserting the batteries.

battery level icon
The battery level is shown in the top right corner of the screen when the camera is in
SETUP mode. When a single bar remains, the camera will continue to take photos. How-
ever, we strongly recommend changing the AA batteries or charging the lithium battery
pack before they are drained of power. If a video is being recorded and the
battery level reaches 0%, the camera saves the file before shutting down.
