Docking and Charging

Prerequisites:

Important: To ensure the best charging performance and connectivity to VideoManager, carefully read the following instructions:
  • Motorola Solutions recommends the use of a V200 Smart Dock.
  • You must first configure the device and then fully charge the battery before first usage.
  • To ensure optimal battery health, you should charge the camera in an ambient temperature between 0°C and 25°C (32°F and 77°F). If the temperature is too hot or too cold, battery charging may be stopped to protect the battery.
  • You must use only Motorola Solutions-approved batteries. There is a risk of an explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
  • The V200 body camera can also be charged using a standard USB-C cable and a 5VDC charger. For optimal charging, it is recommended that the charger has a minimum wattage of 10W.
  • You must only charge the V200 body camera using a USB-IF certified adapter. The camera may be damaged if an incompatible charger is used.
  • If the camera is powered off, it will automatically power on when it is docked and has sufficient charge.
