If the MENU and UP/DOWN arrows do not work on the Stealth Cam STC-I850, it may be because the camera automatically enters PIR detection mode if the MENU button is not pressed within 30 seconds after switching to the ON position. In this mode, the buttons will not respond for programming. To use the MENU and navigation buttons, press the MENU button within 30 seconds of turning the camera ON.
