BATTERY OPERATION
The Spartan PRO Touch is designed to operate using internal battery power or 110 /220 V AC
(household current). A fully charged battery will last approximately 4 hours. NOTE: Battery run time
will vary depending on whether the system is used in an enclosed space (low monitor brightness)
versus full daylight (max monitor brightness).
The camera head light setting will also impact battery
life.
To check battery life, choose the “Systems Options” button on the main screen. The battery gauge will
display in the lower left hand corner.
If the battery reaches a low battery state (yellow gauge color), a low battery indicator will flash on the
screen. At this point, the system should be plugged into a power source. Once the battery reaches a
critically low power level, a red flashing display will come on the screen. At this point the system will
shut down due to power failure. Again, plug in the unit as soon as possible to avoid data loss.
IMPORTANT NOTE! When the low battery warning appears, end any video recording immediately.
If the power is lost during a recording session, the video file will be un-readable and can not
be recovered.
BATTERY CHARGING
110 / 220 VAC – To charge the internal battery using a 110 / 220 V power source you will need
to uncoil the AC power cord (see fig.14-1) and plug the end into a AC electrical outlet. To check
the charging status, turn on the unit and choose the “Systems Options” button on the main
screen. Check the battery indicator in the lower lefthand corner. Once the batteries are fully
charged, the battery charger will automatically switch to trickle charge.
Battery Recharge Time: Approximately 6-8 hours. The unit may be left off during charging.
