11.3. Battery Power Saving Tips FLIR Detection
This section lists those features of your FLIR identiFINDER R300 that need a lot of energy but might
not be necessary all the time or for all ields of application.
The list begins with the more energy-demanding features and proceeds to the frugal ones.
Backlight Brightness and Timeout
The backlight of the screen draws a signiicant amount of power. Reduce the backlight bright-
ness (see 6.9, p. 122) to what you really need in your environment.
Let the backlight time out after the shortest period of inactivity (see 6.9, p. 122) convenient
for your worklow.
A status icon on the screen keeps you posted about the current energy saving options
(see 2.1, p. 30).
GPS Receiver
Switch off the GPS receiver (see 6.11, p. 127) if you don’t need coordinates to be saved with,
for example, identiication results or spectra.
Switch off the GPS receiver while you work at places with poor or no GPS reception (inside
buildings, in mines, etc.).
Communication via Bluetooth
Send data to remote servers (see 9, p. 219) only when necessary.
The Bluetooth hardware draws power only while you communicate with remote servers.
You don’t have to explicitly switch it off.
Finder Mode
Return to the Dose Rate Mode from the Finder Mode when you don’t need it anymore (see
4.2, p. 88).
Spectrum Acquisition
Stop the data acquisition for spectra (see 6.2, p. 106) when you don’t need it anymore.
Other functions draw extra power as well, but are irrelevant in this context. The web server,
for example, is active only while the FLIR identiFINDER R300 is connected to an external
power source anyway.
