2.2 Load Batteries
Open the bottom cover by pulling down the lock hole.
Push or dig the two battery boxes and release the battery door.
Install 4 AA batteries in the front of camera and 8 AA batteries in the back of camera.
Make sure the polarity matches the sign on the cover.
Push to close the door.
Alternatively the camera can run on an external 6V~12V DC power source (optional). When
both external power and batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the external one,
choosing it as its preferred power source. Connected to Ltl-SUN Solar Power Panel (purchased
separately), the camera can work in the field over one year without changing batteries.
When battery level gets low, the Motion Indicator in the LED array will flash blue. The MMS
Wireless camera will automatically send a “Low battery” text alert to your cell phone.
Meanwhile, the battery level will be shown as Code
B1/B2/B3
on the received MMS pictures.
B3
stands for high level and
B1
indicates the level is low and you may need to change the
batteries soon.
2.3 Insert SD Card and Format It
The camera does not come with internal memory. It will not work without a SD (Secure Digital)
memory card or SDHC (High Capacity) card. Before inserting the SD card into the card slot,
please make sure the write-protect switch on the side of the SD card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock”
position). The supported memory capacity is up to 32GB. If you use a card capable of above
32GB, make sure you test it before putting the camera to use.
