Powering the FLIR identiFINDER R300
The FLIR identiFINDER R300 comes with a rechargeable battery as internal power source which
can be replaced only by our service (

).
11.1 External Power Sources
You can connect the FLIR identiFINDER R300 to external power sources via the Mini-USB-B con-
nector (Figure

, p.
26
), for example to a
• wall mounted power supply (use the Mini-USB-B to USB-A cable included with the FLIR
identiFINDER R300, Figure
, p.
• USB port of a computer (use the Mini-USB-B to USB-A cable included with the FLIR
identiFINDER R300, Figure
, p.
• car adapter (use the Mini-USB-B to USB-A cable included with the FLIR identiFINDER R300,
Figure
, p.
)
Please refer to section
, p.
for information about plugging and unplugging cables.
The FLIR identiFINDER R300 draws a current of approximately 400 mA. Before connecting to
a computer, please make sure the USB outlet of the computer complies with this requirement.
This might not be the case with some laptops, netbooks or similar battery powered devices.
While the FLIR identiFINDER R300 is connected to an external power source, the green LED (Fig-
ure
5
, p.
26
) is on. You can run the instrument from external power and charge the batteries.
Compared to a USB power source, charging the FLIR identiFINDER R300 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.
