Quick Start
If you are not familiar with the operation of this camera, the following instructions will help you get a quick overview.
Before doing any operation, please make sure you have loaded batteries and plugged the SD card correctly. If the SD
card is not inserted correctly or its write-protect is enabled, the device will give you a long beep and turn off
automatically.
2.1 Load Batteries
To install batteries on the camera, please follow the instructions below.
1) Unlock the two buckles and open the camera, the right part is battery box.
2) Open the battery cover and load 4 / 8 / 12 pieces batteries.
To supply power, it is recommended to use new high-performance alkaline AA batteries, low self-discharge Ni-MH or
Lithium rechargeable AA batteries with a high mAh rating.
CAUTION: If you are not using the camera for an extended period of time, it is highly recommended that you remove
the batteries from the camera to avoid possible acid leak that may damage the camera which would void the warranty
.
Alternatively the camera can run on an external 6V DC power source (optional, user provided). When both external
power and batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the external one.
2.2 Insert SD Card
The camera does not come with internal memory. So 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 16GB. If
you use a card capable of above 32GB, make sure you test it before putting the camera in use. Because of the HD720P
