3 Quick Start Guide
3.1 Power Supply
To supply power for the camera, four or eight size AA batteries are needed.
Open the bottom cover. Confirm that the power switch is in the
OFF
position and pull out the
battery pack by pulling the silver handle. Load the fully charged batteries into the pack according
the polarities signs shown below. Push the battery pack back into to the battery chamber. The
following batteries with 1.5V output can be used:
1. High-density and high-performance alkaline batteries (Recommended)
2. Rechargeable alkaline batteries
3. Rechargeable NiMH batteries
There are four battery slots. Slot 1 and 2 form one group and
is marked “1”while slot 3 and 4
form the other group and
is marked “2”. Only one “group” of batteries is needed to supply power
to the camera, but both can be used and is recommended.
When in a low-battery state, the camera will be automatically shut down after two indication
sounds. Please change the batteries at this time. If you have set the MMS function, it will send
you a MMS/SMS or Email to indicate the low battery situation.
3.2 Insert the SD-card and the SIM-card
Open the bottom cover. Insert an SD-card into the card slot with unmarked side upwards.
Please note that the SD-card
is on the “write” (not locked) position otherwise the camera will not
function correctly. When using MMS/SMS/E-mail functions, be sure to insert a SIM-card into the
SIM-card slot with angle in the upper left.
3.3 Power on and Enter into the ON Mode
Before switching on, please pay attention to the following:
1. Avoid temperature and motion disturbances in front of the camera such as a big leaf,
curtain, air-conditioner, air outlet of the chimney and other heat sources to prevent from
false triggering.
2. The height from the ground for placing the camera should vary with the object size
appropriately. In general, three to six feet is preferred.
Slide the power switch to the
ON
position to power on the camera and enter into the
ON
mode. Before entering into the ON mode, you can adjust the camera towards the target
monitoring area by laser pointer. See section 4.3. for related information.
After switching on the camera, the motion indication LED (red) light will blink for about 10s.
The 10s is a buffering time before automatically capturing photos or videos, e.g. for closing and
locking the bottom cover, fixing the camera on a tree and walking away.
