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. However, we strongly recommend to change the AA
batteries or charge the lithium battery pack before they are empty. If a
video is being recorded and the battery 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, the LIT-09 CHARGER option located in
the SETTINGS menu should be "Off". Insert the
batteries as indicated inside the battery case. Bat-
tery polarity must be followed.
Please note that the voltage of rechargeable AA
batteries (1.2V) is insufficient to power the SPY-
POINT camera. We also recommend the use of
new batteries to ensure maximum performance
of the camera.
The battery compartment adapts to SPYPOINT LIT-09 lithium battery
pack or 6 AA alkaline batteries. Therefore, it is important to be careful
while inserting AA batteries.
LITHIUM BATTERY PACK
This SPYPOINT camera can be powered by a
rechargeable lithium battery pack LIT-09/LIT-
C-8 (sold separately). This type of battery is
less affected by cold temperatures and lasts up
to 3 times longer than alkaline batteries. During
the installation of the lithium battery, the LIT-09
CHARGER option located in the SETTINGS menu
should be "On".
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. During the installation of a 12-volt connec-
tion, the LIT-09 CHARGER option located in the SETTINGS menu should be
"Off" (the AA batteries can remain safely inside the camera). If combined
with a lithium battery pack, the LIT-09 CHARGER option should be "On".
In order to get best results and longer battery life, we recommend the
use of an external 12-volt source. For easier access to the 12V jack,
remove the camera from the mounting bracket before plugging a 12V cable.
Then, the camera can be reinstalled in the mounting bracket.
SOLAR PANEL
This camera also offers the possibility to connect a solar panel (SP-12V sold
separately) to maintain the charge of the lithium battery pack (sold sepa-
rately). While installing the rechargeable lithium battery pack, the LIT-09
CHARGER option located in the SETTINGS menu should be "On" to activate
the charging system of the solar panel.
