When the camera is sending video
the ‘transmit’ icon is shown on the
camera, circled in red on the image
opposite.
A further long push will turn the
transmission off. Transmission also
ceases when the battery is nearly
empty to extend the final few
minutes of run time.
The default setting for the camera is that it is not sending output video as this conserves power
when in normal battery powered use. It is possible to set the camera to always turn on with output
video working by using the customer software or to control this remotely, see FAQ 1.
Note: It is recommended that before each BA team enters the fire, the camera be fitted with a
fully charged rechargeable battery.
Disposal of batteries should be in line with local procedures and they should be
segregated from domestic waste.
The battery pack will self-discharge at approximately 2% per day. Battery packs that have been
stored off-charge for two weeks will run a camera for at least two hours. It is recommended that
the rechargeable batteries are placed into storage fully charged and are routinely recharged so as
to be ready for use and to maintain performance. Shelf life is maximised by storage between 10
°C and 25 °C (50 °F and 77 °F).
Battery packs that become fully exhausted through extended storage may suffer irreversible
damage.
