Figure 16: Power / Record Button / Status LEDs
When an appropriate power source is connected to the Brain, the Power Status LED will illuminate Red. If
it is illuminated, depress and then release the Power / Record button. The Power Status LED will initially
go out and within 5 seconds illuminate Orange to confirm the camera is powering up, then it will illuminate
Green, confirming the camera is powered up and ready to use.
If a formatted REDMAG 1.8” SSD is attached to the Brain, once powered up the Media Status LED will
illuminate Green. If this LED is not illuminated, verify a formatted REDMAG 1.8” SSD is inserted into the
Side SSD Module and / or format the SSD if it has not previously been formatted on the camera.
NOTE: Once powered up, if the Power Status LED illuminates Red, it indicates low remaining
battery capacity and a battery exchange or switch over to external DC power is recommended.
