5. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin 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).
In
ON
mode when battery power level gets low, the
message "
Low Battery
" will show on the screen, please
replace the batteries. If the battery indicator shows in RED,
this does mean the batteries are not able to drive IR LEDs
flash at night, however the batteries still work at daytime
until "Low Battery". If you want to continue night vision,
please replace the batteries.
