Batteries
Your H-Series camera is equipped with a sophisticated power system
that accommodates a wide variety of AA battery types. This includes
rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
The camera is optimized for operation with the 2700 mAh
rechargeable NiMh batteries that were supplied with your camera. It
is recommended that you use these batteries in all but emergency
situations.
Note
Battery Status Indicator
–While the camera is
On, a battery status indicator is always shown in
the corner of the display image. This indicator
provides an estimation of the remaining battery
charge.
Note
Using Non-Rechargeable Batteries
–The H-Series camera allows
Alkaline non-rechargeable batteries to be used. When non-
rechargeable batteries are installed, connecting the Hot Shoe to a
power source will power the camera from the power source and the
battery charging circuitry will be disabled.
Note
Low Battery Auto-Shutdown
–When the batteries are almost fully
depleted the camera will automatically initiate a shutdown process.
Replacement batteries are available online from FLIR Commercial
Vision Systems, Inc.
If non-rechargable batteries are installed the battery indication
may not be accurate.
When using Alkaline batteries, operating battery life is reduced to
approximately 1.5 hours.
