INSTALLING THE BATTERIES and SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your XtendLan Cam, 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:
Loading Batteries
After opening the two latches on the right side
of the XtendLan Cam, you will see that the
XtendLan Cam has eight battery slots.
Starting at the top of the battery compartment,
slots 1 , 2, 3 and 4 form one group, while slots
5, 6, 7 and 8 form the other group, each
providing 6 volts in parallel. For maximum
battery life, you should install a full set of eight
batteries. The XtendLan Cam may also be operated by
just four batteries installed in the top group only (see right),
starting at slot 1. Battery life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but
the camera will operate normally. Whether you use 4 or 8, be
sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or
"flat"end against the long spring of each battery slot). XtendLan
recommends using eight new lithium AA (Energizer? brand) or
alkaline AA batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries can also be
used, but they might have a shorter life span due to their reduced
efficiency over time and at low temperature. It is also possible to
use a lead-acid external battery cell with 6V output or suitable AC
adapter-see below for
more details.
Using an External Power Source (optional, user provided)
Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC power source to
the"DC ln"jack at the bottom of the XtendLan Cam. It is
recommended to use a power source with a current output
greater than 1000mA. However, during bright daytime operation
when no flash is required, the XtendLan Cam
