Memory Cards - DAY 6 PlotWatcher Pro Manual

After you have used the camera a few times with alkaline or lithium batteries,
you will have a good benchmark on battery life and might want to consider
rechargeable NiMh batteries as an alternative. Their tolerance for low
temperature is similar to alkaline batteries (average temperature above
freezing, lows above 20⁰ F / -6⁰ C) but they can save you money over time.
Look for the newer "Low Self-Discharge" NiMh batteries, sometimes referred
to as "pre-charged," because the ordinary NiMh batteries lose their charge
over time, even when not being used. You can expect to get about 50% to 70%
of the runtime you would get with alkaline batteries, but with the very long
battery life of the PlotWatcher Pro, they can be an effective, economical
choice.

Memory Cards

We recommend you start out with a new 8, 16, or 32 GB SDHC memory card.
You might prefer to purchase two cards so that you can swap them in the field.
Note that many older computers have SD card readers that will not read the
higher capacity SDHC cards. (Cards from 2Gb to 32Gb are typically SDHC.) If
your computer will not read the SDHC cards, you can obtain an SDHC card
reader that will enable you to read SDHC cards on any computer with a USB
port. These SDHC card readers are typically available on the Accessories
section of the www.day6outdoors.com website.
If you are not starting with a brand new SDHC card, we recommend that you
ensure all other files have been deleted from the card. A large number of files,
such as music collections or photo collections will take up space and also cause
the PlotWatcher to take more time to read from and write to the disk, thus
reducing battery life.

performance with any certain brand of card.
