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 le 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 GENERAL SETTINGS menu should be "Off".
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 insufcient to power the SPYPOINT 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/LITC-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 LIT09 CHARGER option located in the GENERAL
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 connection, the LIT-09 CHARGER option located in the GENERAL 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". For available accessories, see p.18.
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 separately). While installing the rechargeable lithium battery pack, the LIT-09
CHARGER option located in the GENERAL SETTINGS menu should be "On"
to activate the charging system of the solar panel.
LIT-09 charger option (depending on the power source):

MEMORY CARD
A memory card is required to record photos and videos. The camera is
compatible with SD/SDHC memory cards, up to 32 GB capacity (sold
separately).
When the camera is turned on and no memory card is used, the camera
beeps. In TEST mode, the screen displays "Insert Memory Card".
Here is a table of the approximate number of photos and length of videos
that can be recorded with different memory card capacities. Many photo
and video resolutions are noted, see those corresponding to the camera.
Note: This SPYPOINT camera is equiped with continuous le
recording. When the memory card is full, the camera will continue to record
photos or videos by deleting the rst recorded les.
