Installing the batteries The NBF22 can function short term on 4AA batteries. We suggest you use 8AA batteries to maximize camera performance and battery life. Install the batteries by sliding the top battery in to the sleeve first, then depressing the spring with the other battery and snapping down in place.
Installing the SD card To be able to power up the camera you will need to install a Covert SD card in the slot in the bottom of the camera. Push into the card slot until it clicks and release. To remove, repeat that process, the card will pop out enough to remove.
