4.1 – Battery charging via USB
SmartyCam battery charging via USB has two possible options.
Socket charge (recommended):
• connect SmartyCam to the power supplier using the cable included in the kit: it has
to be plugged in the USB port placed in the product rear;
• insert the power supplier plug in the socket.
In case of PC charge via USB (not recommended): connect SmartyCam directly to the
PC on, using the cable included in the kit. It is recommended not to use a USB hu
b. It is
also recommended to use exclusively a 2.0 USB port
.
Please do not connect SmartyCam to the PC unless having previously installed
SmartyManager software.
Warning: not all Personal computers USB ports provide enough power to charge
SmartyCam and anyway, due to the power supply limitation of the PC, battery
charging is longer. That is why socket charge is recommended.
