Default value is OFF (REDMOTE will operate continuously until manually powered down.)
DISPLAY LAYOUT: SOFT MENU BUTTONS 4-8
To the right of the LCD are five Soft Menu buttons 4-8. These buttons select between a variety of camera status
page layouts.
NOTE: In the current firmware, buttons 7 and 8 are undefined.
INTERNAL BATTERY
CHARGE STATUS
An icon shows the charge status of the REDMOTE battery in the lower right corner of the LCD.
When REDMOTE is operating in wireless mode, the icon indicates current charge capacity. When satisfactory
the icon is displayed in Green. When battery charge becomes marginal, the icon turns Yellow. When battery
charge is critically low, and wireless communication is at risk of being lost the icon turns Red. The REDMOTE
should be re-attached to the camera or rearmost module, or be attached to a suitable USB power source, to
recharge the battery before re-attempting wireless operation.
When attached to the camera or rearmost camera module, or external USB power source, this icon will either
display solid green, indicating fully charged, or flash, indicating the battery is being charged by the camera or
external USB power source.
BATTERY LIFE
When using the REDMOTE in wireless configuration, the battery will last approximately 8 hours before charging
is necessary.
NOTE: When not using the REDMOTE, for maximum battery storage life, use the Power/Lock Switch to power
down the REDMOTE completely by pressing down in the power off position and using the displayed menu to
shut down the REDMOTE and/or the REDMOTE and camera. If the Power/Lock Switch is pressed down in the
power off position and held until the REDMOTE powers down, the battery storage life will be reduced greatly as
there will be a slight power draw on the REDMOTE when shut down using this procedure.
CHARGING
CHARGE TIME
A fully discharged REDMOTE battery will be fully charged in approximately 6 hours.
USING CAMERA
While connected to the camera, the REDMOTE will automatically recharge its internal battery. Charge status is
indicated by the Green Battery Icon at the top-right of the REDMOTE LCD display screen. A fully discharged
REDMOTE battery will be re-charged in approximately 6 hours if connected to a powered camera or a USB
based power source such as laptop P.C.
USING USB CONNECTOR
The REDMOTE can be charged by connecting the RED Mini-USB-to-USB cable (790-0230) between REDMOTE
and a computer or a cell phone charger.
NOTE: The REDMOTE can be charged using the Mini-USB connector while connected and controlling a camera
wirelessly.
NOTE: If the computer/cable/hub do not provide enough voltage, the REDMOTE will not charge and show an
“Error Charging” message.
1. Connect the USB connector to any computer (computer must be ON to charge REDMOTE).
