POWER
The battery level is shown on the LCD screen. When a single
line remains, the camera will continue to take pictures but we
strongly recommend changing the batteries before they are
empty. (See figure below)
AA batteries
This camera requires the use of 6 AA batteries (1.5V). The use
of alkaline or lithium batteries is strongly recommended. Also
note that the voltage of rechargeable AA batteries (1.2V)
is insufficient to power your SPYPOINT camera. During
the installation of AA batteries, place the switch inside the
battery case to «ALKALINE». Insert the batteries as indicated
inside the battery case. Exact polarity must be followed. We
also recommend the use of new batteries to ensure maximum
performance of your camera.
Lithium battery pack
The camera SPYPOINT IR-5 can be powered by a rechargeable
lithium battery LIT-09/LIT-C-8 (sold separately, refer to the
section «OPTIONS»). This type of battery is less affected by
cold temperatures and lasts up to 3 times more then an alkaline
battery. During the installation of lithium battery, place the
switch inside the battery case to «RECHARGEABLE».
External (12V)
The camera can be powered from an external 12 volt DC
input such as a 12 volt battery (KIT-12V/BATT-12V, sold
separately) or a 12 volt adapter (AD-12V, sold separately).
When using a 12 volt connection, we recommend removing the
AA batteries to prevent surcharges. During the installation of a
12 volt connection, place the switch inside the battery case to
«ALKALINE». If combined with a lithium battery pack, slide
the switch to «RECHARGEABLE». To find the accessories
available for the 12 volts, refer to the section «OPTIONS».
MEMORY CARD
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera
SPYPOINT IR-5. When the camera is « ON » and no memory
card is used, the LCD panel displays « CArd » meaning to
insert one. The SD slot of the camera can accept memory cards
up to 32 GB capacity. Before inserting or removing the memory
card, the camera must be turned « OFF ». Failing to do so may
cause loss of or damage the pictures already recorded from the
memory card. When the SD card is full, the LCD panel indicates
« FULL ». The following data shows an approximate quantity
of photos which can be recorded by the camera depending on
the memory card capacity.
