BATTERY LIFE
When using the REDmote in wireless configuration, the battery will last approximately 8 hours before
charging is necessary.
NOTE: When not using the REDmote, for maximum battery storage life, use the Power / Lock
Switch to power down the REDmote completely by pressing down in the power off position and
using the displayed menu to shut down the REDmote and/or the REDmote and camera. Refer to
POWER UP / DOWN > POWER DOWN. If the Power / Lock Switch is pressed down in the power
off position and held until the REDmote powers down, the battery storage life will be reduced
greatly as there will be a slight power draw on the REDmote when shut down using this
procedure.
CHARGING
CHARGE TIME
A fully discharged REDmote battery will be fully charged in approximately 7 hours.
USING CAMERA
While connected to the camera, the REDmote will automatically recharge its internal battery. Charge
status is indicated by the Green Battery Icon at the top-right of the REDmote LCD display screen. A fully
discharged REDmote battery will be re-charged in approximately 8 hours if connected to a powered
camera. A much faster charge time may be achieved with a USB based power source such as laptop
P.C.
USING USB CONNECTOR
The REDmote can be charged by connecting a Mini-USB-to-USB cable between REDmote and a
computer or a cell phone charger.
NOTE: The REDmote can be charged using the Mini-USB connector while connected and
controlling a camera wirelessly.
NOTE: If the computer / cable / hub do not provide enough voltage, the REDmote will not charge
and show an "Error Charging" message.
1. Connect the USB connector to any computer (computer must be ON to charge REDmote).
2. Connect the Mini-USB end to the REDmote USB Port located on the lower right side (under rubber
protective cover).
3. If the REDmote is powered down (and paired camera is OFF), the REDmote will power UP, display
STARTING UP, display SEARCHING (with flashing Green LED), then settle into IDLE mode.
4. Green battery indicator will blink, indicating REDmote is charging.
5. A fully discharged REDmote battery will be fully charged in approximately 7 hours.
