each of the two battery compartments (16) as instructed.
Pay attention to the correct insertion direction/polarity
(+/-). Close the two battery compartments (16) again by
tightening the screw caps in a clockwise direction.
Note:
The battery compartments (16) of the DTC
450 SLIM are locked if the control elements flap (8) is
closed. To open the battery compartments, it is imper-
ative to unlock and open the flap (7).
Note:
Your DTC 450 Wildlife Camera is a high precision
device of premium technical quality. It is recommended
that you use premium quality alkaline, lithium or NiMH
batteries.
Checking the battery level
Switch your DTC 450 to the “Setup mode” (main switch
(12) top position). Using the down arrow key (11), select
the menu option “Photo/video playback” and confirm
this by pressing the OK button (11). The battery level
will be shown in the top left area of the LCD display (6).
Another way to check the battery level is by selecting the
menu option “Camera info” using the up/down arrow
keys (11) and confirming with OK (11). In the submenu
the battery level is displayed as a percentage.
Note:
We recommend using high efficiency batteries
for optimum performance. You can prolong battery life
if you create shorter video sequences.
Note:
The battery status LED (4) is activated when the
battery starts to run out.
Installing the memory card
You need a memory card (SD/SDHC card) in order to store
images or video clips. Your DTC 450 camera supports
memory cards of up to 32 GB.
Insert the memory card into the memory card slot (15) with
the brass coloured contacts toward the inside of the cam-
era. Ensure that the SD card is not write-protected (SD card
slider is not in the “lock” mode). Switch your DTC 450 to
the “Setup mode” (main switch (12) top position). When
your DTC 450 camera shows “No SD card” in the display,
this means that either no memory card has been inserted,
it was not correctly inserted or it is not compatible. You
can continue with the camera settings when you return
directly to the main menu.
Language setting
The DTC 450 Wildlife Camera is set to English by factory
default. To change the menu navigation to a different lan-
guage, please follow these steps:
1. Move the main switch (12) to the switch setting
“SETUP” mode.
2. After a short period, the main menu will appear
in English with the first menu option “Live preview”
(highlighted in black).
3. Press the up arrow key three times (11).
4. You are now in the menu option “Language”
highlighted in black.
