Battery Specifications and Installation
Your RECONYX
TM
HyperFire
TM
camera runs on twelve AA-cell batteries.
We highly recommend using either Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries or
High quality NiMH Rechargeable batteries in your camera. Alkaline batteries
do not provide as much power as Lithium or NiMH batteries and they are
adversely affected by both hot and cold weather, so we do not recommend
alkaline batteries.
NiMH will run at temperatures down to -20°F or colder. Lithium batteries will
run to -40°F.
Alkaline batteries may be used in the HC500 and PC800 camera models.
However, they will not provide the performance that the Lithium or NiMH
batteries do, in terms of nighttime consistency or number of pictures taken.
NOTE
:
We strongly advise that you not attempt to run alkaline batteries in
the HC600 or PC900, as the performance will be very poor.
NOTE:
Be sure to load batteries in the proper orientation (alternating
positive/negative, six in each battery bay).
Warning
!
Do not mix battery types!
Damage to the camera can result and
your warranty will be voided if you mix battery types.
