SET-UP & BASIC OPERATION
Battery Usage
Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries have been included with your unit.
To insert or switch out a new battery:
1.
Locate the battery latch at the top of the
monitor and slide toward the back of the unit to
open. The battery door opens just enough to slide
a battery in and out. Do not try to force the
battery door to open any further.
2.
Slide the battery into the battery slot observing
proper contact alignment.
3.
Close the battery door.
The Pole Camera has a built-in battery charger. To charge the battery in the unit:
1.
Locate the Power Input at the bottom left side of the monitor.
2.
With the battery already inserted in the unit, connect the provided AC power supply to the
power input. The battery will begin charging. Charging is automatic; it will stop when the
battery is fully charged.
Note: The Pole Camera should not be used for normal operation while charging a battery in the unit. To
return to normal operation, disconnect the AC power supply.
Note: To keep the battery in good working condition, it should be removed from the Pole Camera for
long term storage of 90 days or more. Even when powered off, the operating system of the Pole
Camera continues to use a low stand-by current that in some cases could cause a deep discharge and
possible damage to the battery, preventing a normal recharge.
Real Time Clock Battery
An internal CR2032 coin cell battery provides power for the real time clock function. The Real Time
Clock (RTC) battery should provide years of service. In the event that the clock on the Pole Camera
stops functioning, the Real Time Clock battery will need to be replaced.
To replace the Real Time Clock battery:
1)
Locate the small, round, real time clock battery door on the back of the monitor enclosure.
