8.3 Battery Power Saving Tips

Charging the batteries will take longer if:

l

the FLIR identiFINDER R200 is switched on, or,

l

the FLIR identiFINDER R200 is powered by USB-connected device (power supply of the FLIR

identiFINDER R200 provides a much higher current than is supplied by the USB standard).

If the battery is completely discharged it is recommended that the FLIR identiFINDER R200 be switched

to "OFF" and that 15 minutes transpire after connecting the power adapter before switching on the unit.

8.3 Battery Power Saving Tips

In order to prolong the runtime of the FLIR identiFINDER R200’s batteries, avoid certain operations or

optimize some settings for reduced power consumption.

This section lists those features of your FLIR identiFINDER R200 that need a lot of energy but might not

be necessary all the time or for all fields of application.

The list begins with the more energy-demanding features and proceeds to the frugal ones.

Backlight Brightness and Timeout

The backlight of the screen draws a significant amount of power.

Reduce the backlight brightness to a level required by the environment.

Let the backlight time out after the shortest period of inactivity convenient to worklow.

Communication via Bluetooth

Bluetooth Periphery

Send data to remote servers only when necessary. Periphery mode draws power only while com-

municating with remote servers.

Bluetooth SPP

Increased power is drawn during transmissions, but power is always used while Bluetooth SPP is con-

nected or discoverable.

Disable Bluetooth SPP to prolong battery life.

Finder Mode

Return to the Dose Rate Mode from the Finder Mode when no longer needed.
