3.4.1
Charge battery
The PCE-TC 33N thermal imaging camera has a built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery.
If the battery level is low, this is indicated by the battery status icon
at the top right of the
display. In that case, charge the battery via the micro USB interface.
- Connect USB cable and mains adaptor.
- Plug the mains adaptor into an earthed socket.
- Open the protective cover on the camera and connect the micro USB plug to the interface.
- After charging, disconnect the cable from the camera and the socket.
During the charging process, the following icon
appears in the top right-hand corner of the
display.
When the battery is fully charged, the
icon is displayed.
Notes on charging:
Charge the battery for at least 1.5 hours before using the camera for the first time.
Before charging, make sure that the battery, charger and camera are at room temperature.
Charging at extreme temperatures can have a negative effect on the runtime and service life.
Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours.
The battery should be charged for 2 hours at least every three months to avoid a reduced
battery life.

Replace battery
The battery compartment cover is fixed below the trigger and to the side but can be removed
completely. To do this, press on it and push it down until the locks are released. Once you have
removed the cover, you can remove the battery and insert a new one.
Make sure that the new battery is connected correctly.
Then push the battery cover back onto the camera's handle correctly.
