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-7 or BF-7 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».
available for the 12 volts, refer to the section «OPTIONS».

Solar panel
This model also offers the possibility of a connection to
a solar panel SP-12V (sold separately, refer to the section
«OPTIONS») to maintain the charge of the lithium battery
(sold separately, refer to the section «OPTIONS») or the 12
volt battery (sold separately, refer to the section «OPTIONS»).
During the installation of the rechargeable lithium battery or
12 volt battery, slide up the switch inside the battery case up
to «RECHARGEABLE» to activate the charging system of
the solar panel.
MEMORY CARD
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera
SPYPOINT IR-7 or BF-7. 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.
