Note 1: Ensure SD card is NOT in locked position.
Note 2: Format SD card in camera before using each time. This will create a file on the SD
card where the camera will save images to.

SD card works properly before leaving camera for extended periods of time.

BATTERIES
This camera is designed for Lithium batteries for optimal performance (rechargeable
batteries may not have sufficient voltage to run the camera properly). An AC to DC power
cord (sold separately) can be attached to the bottom port of the camera.
Insert 12 AA batteries while ensuring polarity (+ -) is correctly orientated.
Note: 9V or 12V DC power can be used. It is recommended to remove internal AA batteries
when using external power to reduce the possible battery leak. Solar panels DO NOT
charge batteries directly located in the camera but are often used to charge external
battery.
CHECKING BATTERY LEVEL

TESTING AND WORKING MODES
