PREPARATION

RECHARGING THE INTERNAL LITHIUM

BATTERY

• Turn the camera OFF.

• Turn the solar panel downwards so

that it does not interfere with the

charging process via the 12V-USB

cable.

• Plug the 12V-USB cable (included) into

the 12 V jack on the bottom of the

unit, then connect the other end to a

5 V wall outlet charger (not included).

• Charge the camera for 24 to 48 hours

before use.

NOTE

• Once the camera is plugged in, its screen will light up and

the battery charge level will be displayed for 10 seconds.

• You can press the OK button at any time during the charging

process to display the battery charge level.

MANAGE DIFFERENT CAMERA POWER SOURCES

1. The main power source of your camera is the internal

lithium battery.

• The solar panel's function is to recharge the internal

battery.

5

ENGLISH

• The camera will be energetically self-sucient under

ideal conditions (a low energy conguration and a sunny

environment).

• Make sure there are not objects obstructing the reception

of light or covering the solar panel.

• When the charge level of the internal battery is low, you

will receive a notication in your application.

• If the internal battery charge level becomes insucient,

the camera will shut down or switch to an auxiliary power

source, if you provided one.

• If the camera shuts down, the solar panel will recharge the

internal battery and the camera will restart by itself once

it is suciently charged, and it will retain the settings you

previously selected.

2. Additional power sources can be used:

• 12 V external battery (#KIT-12V,

sold separately):

As soon as it is plugged in, this

battery will become the main

power source. The internal battery

will only be used once the 12 V

battery is drained.

To connect it to the camera, plug

the 12 V cable into the 12 V socket

on the camera and connect the

other end of the cable to the 12 V

battery.

12 V jack

ENGLISH

• 8 AA batteries:

Using alkaline or lithium batteries

is strongly recommended. Do not

mix the 2 battery types (lithium

and alkaline), install new batteries

and respect their polarity (+) and (-).

• Rechargeable AA batteries are not

recommended as their voltage is

inferior and may cause operational

issues.

• Lithium Battery Pack:

The camera can be powered by a

rechargeable lithium battery pack

LIT-09 (sold separately). You can

insert it in the battery compart-

ment. This kind of battery is less

aected by the cold and oers up

to 2 times the performance of

alkaline batteries.

NOTE

You can verify the battery charge

level in 2 ways:

1. By referring to the icon in the

lower right corner of your camera's

home screen. This icon indicates,

alternately, the charge level of the

camera's dierent power sources.

2. By having a look at your SPYPOINT application in the "Status"

section.

For accurate playback, it is important that you select the

correct battery type in the application settings.

INSTALLING AN SD CARD

The SD card is sold separately. You must therefore rst get

a class 10 SD card between 2 and 32 GB of memory.

Before inserting the SD card in your camera, it must be formatted

to ensure proper operation. Visit the www.spypoint.com/

support if you need help formatting your SD card.

INSERTING AN SD CARD

• Make sure the camera is turned OFF.

• Locate the SD card slot. It is located on the lower right side

(see diagram).

• Insert an SD card (up to 32 GB) into the SD card slot with the

metal contacts facing the back.

• The card is correctly inserted when you hear a click.

STARTING YOUR CAMERA

1. Turn the camera ON.

Note that the signal bars may not be identical to those on

your other cellular devices, as there is no industry standard

nor practical way to label the dBm values at a speciﬁc number

of bars.

DISPOSAL

USE ONLY ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.

If, one day, your camera has been used so intensively that it

has to be replaced, or if you no longer have any use for it, you

are obliged to dispose of it at a recycling center.

Information on return points for your electrical appliance can

be obtained from your local waste disposal company or from

your local administrative oces.

Electrical appliances not only contain valuable recyclable raw

materials, but also substances which, if disposed of improperly,

can aect public health and the environment. Help ensure

that valuable raw materials are recycled by returning your old

appliance to a central collection point.

The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive)

symbol represents the obligation of the labeled camera to be

sent to a separate center for the proper recycling of electrical

and electronic equipment.
