Installing The Batteries And Sd Card - Bushnell NatureView 119739 Instruction Manual

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD

Before you begin learning how to use your NatureView HD Essential, you
will first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although
that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both
batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to
read the following directions and cautions:
Loading Batteries
After opening the two latches on the right side
of the NatureView HD Essential, you will see
that the NatureView HD Essential has eight
battery slots. Starting at the top of the battery
compartment, slots 1, 2, 3 and 4 form one group,
while slots 5, 6, 7 and 8 form the other group,
each providing 6 volts in parallel. For maximum
battery life, you should install a full set of eight
batteries. The NatureView HD Essential may
also be operated by just four batteries installed
in the top group only (see right), starting at slot
1. Battery life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but
the camera will operate normally. Whether you
use 4 or 8, be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or
"flat" end against the long spring of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using eight new lithium AA (Energizer brand) or
®
alkaline AA batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries can also be used, but
they might have a shorter life span due to their reduced efficiency over time
and at low temperature. It is also possible to use a lead-acid external battery cell
with 6V output or suitable AC adapter-see below for more details.
Using an External Power Source
(optional, user provided)
Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC power source to the "DC In"
jack at the bottom of the NatureView HD Essential. It is recommended to
use a power source with a current output greater than 1000mA. However,
during bright daytime operation when no flash is required, the NatureView
HD Essential can function with much less current (>400mA). Please use
a compatible power source cable (not provided) to connect the external DC
power source with the power input jack of the NatureView HD Essential,
making sure that the polarity is correct. Note: The power connector is a
