When the battery gets too low, FS-Hxx will stop the recording, save the clip and shut down the unit automatically. 
 

How do you charge the battery and how much time does it take to charge? 

To charge the battery, FS-Hxx unit must be powered off. While powered on and connected to DC, FS-Hxx will not discharge the 
battery at all. 
A full battery charge takes about 3 hours. 
 

How do you preserve the battery life? 

The battery is a Lithium-Ion battery which does not require to be fully discharged to optimize its life. Store the battery in a 
temperate area to maximize the battery life and performance.

 

 

Can the unit be powered externally? 

Yes. FS-Hxx can be powered from the supplied AC-DC power adaptor (including international plug kit) or by an external DC source. 
FS-Hxx requires a DC voltage between 5V and 17V. The lowest power consumption is achieved with a +12V powers supply. 
 

What is FS-Hxx power consumption? 

FS-Hxx power consumption is as followed: 

-

 

FS-H50: 1.5W without Wi-Fi dongle, 2.4W with Wi-Fi

FS-H70: 3.4W without Wi-Fi dongle, 4.3W with Wi-Fi 

 

My camera/equipment has a Lemo 2 points or Hirose 4 points or D-Tap connector which allows to supply 12V voltage to an 
external equipment. Can I tap the power supply for powering FS-Hxx? 

This is possible if the camera/equipment can provide a minimum of 0.5A. 
Contact your sales representative to find the appropriate adaptor cable (no voltage conversion is required). 
FS-Hxx features a 2.5mm DC Jack input.

Here are some tips  for maximum battery life / efficiency: 

-

 

If you are not using the web features, do not plug in the Wi-Fi USB adaptor.  
Do not unplug the Wi-Fi adaptor while FS-Hxx is powered on.
