Power
The battery level is shown on the LCD screen. 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
batteries, 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.16). 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 or RECH (depending on the camera).
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 adap-
ter (AD-12V), sold separately (p.16). 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 or RECH (depending on the camera). For the 12V
available accessories, see p.16.
SOLAR PANEL (BF-8, HD-7, ECLYPSE, M8, C6)
This camera also offers the possibility to connect a solar panel (SP-12V sold
separately, p.16) to maintain the charge of the lithium battery pack
(sold separately, p.16). While installing the rechargeable lithium battery
pack, slide the battery switch to LIT-09 or RECH (depending on the camera)
to activate the charging system of the solar panel.
