Setup and Operation Guide
1.
Open the Cam by pulling out on the two latches on the right side. Install 4 “D” cell batteries (flat base of all
batteries contacting springs), and insert an SD card (not included, use any capacity from 16MB to 8GB. Do not
substitute MMC cards.) in the slot to the right of the 5 buttons as indicated on the slot cover (upside down,
with the notched corner of the card on the left and metal contacts of the card facing the back of the slot). Press
the card down until you hear it click into place. If the Cam is turned on without a card in place, it may not turn
off-reset it by pulling one of the batteries out partway, insert a new or empty SD card, and put the battery back
in place. Only remove or insert cards with power off.

“stamped” correctly. Briefly press the Menu button-the first two digits of the
year will flash, prompting you to enter the year (
a
). Use the Up/Down buttons
to set the current year, then press ENTER. Set the month the same way, and
press ENTER again. The display will then change to let you set the day, with
only the last two digits blinking (
b
). Again use the Up/Down buttons to
change the day if necessary and press ENTER. To set the time, use Up/Down to
set the hour and minute. The time display uses the 24 hr standard, so 2:00 PM
is indicated as “1400”, etc.
3.
After the date and time have been set, press ENTER. Then the camera
icon will and the word “Lo” will blink (
c
). By pressing UP/DOWN, the camera
will cycle between Lo resolution still photo, Hi resolution still photo, and
movie (video) modes. Choose the mode that you want and press ENTER. The
“Lo” setting will allow you to take lower resolution images and therefore
accumulate more images on your card while the “HI” setting will give you high
