3. Getting started

3.1. Switching the camera on/off

Press the on/off button and hold it for two seconds to switch the camera on.

Press and hold for three seconds to switch the camera off.

After switching on, it will take up to 30 seconds for the infrared image to appear. The image will periodically freeze for one or two seconds while the camera re-calibrates itself. This is normal operation, and the time between these calibrations will increase as the operating temperature of the camera stabilizes.

3.2. Charging the battery

The camera’s battery is charged via the USB port. A fully charged battery will last approximately 5 hours. A green LED indicates charging which turns to red when the battery is charged.

Note: When the camera is connected to a PC via the USB cable it switches off and the PC sees the SD card as an external memory.

3.3. Changing the battery

Open the lock on the battery cover and remove the cover

Remove battery.

Insert new battery, ensuring the terminal pads are towards the front of the camera.

Replace and lock the cover
