Ô
To charge the batteries in the FLIR identiFINDER R300
…
1. Use the power supply to connect the FLIR identiFINDER R300 to a wall outlet or equivalent
power source.
or
Use the auto adapter to connect the FLIR identiFINDER R300 to an appropriate power source.
or
Connect the FLIR identiFINDER R300 to a computer.
Charging is a lot faster when you use the power supply of the FLIR identiFINDER R300
because it supplies a much higher current than a host conforming to the USB standard.
2. Observe the power indicator (see
2.1
, p.
29
) if the FLIR identiFINDER R300 is running while
charging.

Charging Durations
Shortest charging durations are achieved with
• the FLIR identiFINDER R300 switched off and
• the FLIR identiFINDER R300 connected to the wall mounted power supply shipped with the
FLIR identiFINDER R300.
Under these conditions, charging takes about 3 hours.
We recommend leaving the power supply connected for a longer time, for example over night,
if circumstances allow.
Charging the batteries will take longer, if
• the FLIR identiFINDER R300 is switched on, or
• the FLIR identiFINDER R300 is powered by a USB-connected computer because the power
supply of the FLIR identiFINDER R300 supplies a much higher current than a host conforming
to the USB standard.
If the batteries are completely discharged, we recommend to charge them while the FLIR
identiFINDER R300 is switched off. Wait at least 15 min after connecting the power adapter
before you switch on the instrument.
When reliable batteries with higher capacity become available, we will build them into our
products. This will increase the run time and also the charging duration.
