Battery information
Optimization of the battery
The LED turns orange when the battery charge is low. If the battery charge reaches 0% while
shooting, the Tikee saves the file and turns off.
In case of bad conditions of sunshine, the Tikee is discharged gradually and adapts then its
operation to save energy:
- Partial discharge: the upload is deactivated, the camera only connects once a day but continues
shooting;
- Full discharge: the camera stops shooting, does not connect anymore and stays in standby
until then next recharge (solar or USB).
Shooting while charging
You can shoot while your Tikee is connected to a USB micro cable (not supplied).
Note: as the cap of micro USB port is open while loading, the waterproofness of the Tikee is no
longer guaranteed.
WARNING: Use only chargers labelled : output 5 V 1A min.
