7.1

Charging the battery

7.1.1

Charging the battery using the FLIR power supply

Follow this procedure:

1. Connect the power supply to a wall outlet.
2. Connect the power supply cable to the USB connector on the camera.

NOTE

The charging time for a fully depleted battery is 2 hours.

7.1.2

Charging the battery using the FLIR stand-alone battery charger.

Follow this procedure:

1. Connect the stand-alone battery charger to a wall outlet.
2. Remove the battery from the camera.

3. Put the battery into the stand-alone battery charger.

NOTE

•

The charging time for a fully depleted battery is 2 hours.

•

The battery is being charged when the blue LED is flashing.

•

The battery is fully charged when the blue LED is continuous.

7.1.3

Charging the battery using a USB cable

Follow this procedure:

1. Connect the camera to a computer using a USB cable.

NOTE

•

To charge the camera, the computer must be turned on.

•

Charging the camera using a USB cable connected to a computer takes

considerably

longer than

using the FLIR power supply or the FLIR stand-alone battery charger.

7.2

Turning on and turning off the camera

• Push the

button to turn on the camera.

• Push and hold the

button for less than 5 seconds to put the camera in standby

mode. The camera then automatically turns off after 48 hours.

• Push and hold the

button for more than 10 seconds to turn off the camera.
