Description

7.3 Connectors

7.3.1 Figure

7.3.2 Explanation

The purpose of this USB mini-B connector is the following:

• Charging the battery using the FLIR power supply.

• Charging the battery using a USB cable connected to a computer.

Note Charging the camera using a USB cable connected to a computer takes con-

siderably longer than using the FLIR power supply or the FLIR stand-alone battery

charger.

• Moving images from the camera to a computer for further analysis in FLIR Tools.

Note Install FLIR Tools on your computer before you move the images.
