5. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you start learning how to use your camera, you will first
need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although
that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes
about both batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so
please take the time to
read the following directions and
cautions
:
5.1. LOADING BATTERIES
After opening the cover of the battery compartment, you will
see that the camera has eight battery slots (
Figure 6
). A full
eight batteries must be installed for the camera to operate. Be
sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or
"flat" end against the long spring of each battery slot).
The camera takes 1.5V AA Lithium or Alkaline batteries. We
recommend using 1.5V Lithium AA batteries (Energizer brand)
to get maximum batteries lifetime. NiMH Rechargeable can
also be used, but they might have a shorter life span due to their
reduced efficiency over time and at low temperature, and would
not work for night video recording.
On
SET
mode when battery power level gets low, the message
"
Low Battery
" will show on the screen, please replace the
batteries.
