General information on batteries/rechargeable batteries
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of reach of children.
• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries
(pay attention to plus and minus).
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by chil-
dren or pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries in contact with the skin can cause acid
burns, therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are very chemically aggressive.
Objects or surfaces coming into contact with these liquids might be considerably damaged.
Thus, store batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into
fi
re.
There is a risk of explosion!
• Conventional batteries must not be recharged. Explosion risk! Only charge rechargeable
batteries that are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries; do not mix normal and rechargeable batter-
ies with different charges (e.g. full and half-full batteries). Always use four (rechargeable)
batteries of the same type/manufacturer to power the product.
• For safe and lasting use of the product, we recommend using only high-quality alkaline
batteries.
When using rechargeable batteries, expect a shorter running time due to the lower
operating voltage (normal battery = 1.5 V/cell, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V/cell).
Rechargeable batteries are more temperature sensitive than normal batteries. At
low temperatures, rechargeable batteries have a very short operating time.
However if you set a very short interval (see setup menu, “Time lapse” function), the
batteries may become
fl
at within a few days! In this case, the rechargeable batteries
are the better choice.

Getting Started
• Remove the cover on the rear side.
To do so, shift the fastening slide to the left
position (see arrow on the image) and then
lift up the cover as shown in the image at
right .
Proceed in the opposite manner when reas-
sembling (lower the cover, then close it and
shift the fastening slide to the right position).
• Open the rubber cover for the slot (13) of the
SD/SDHC memory card and insert the included SDHC memory card in the correct position
(the label of the memory card faces the monitor). Push the memory card inside until it clicks
into place.
To remove the memory card, push it into the slot slightly, then release it. Through the
built-in spring mechanism, the memory card is pushed out slightly, whereby it can be
easily removed.
• Then close the rubber cover carefully.
• Open the battery compartment (8) by pushing its cover upwards. Insert four AA/Mignon
batteries with correct polarity (observe plus/+ and minus/-, see labels on the batteries and
the battery compartment).
The textile strip in the battery compartment must lie under the batteries and will later help in
removing the batteries from the battery compartment easily.
Close the battery compartment again by putting on the battery compartment cover and
pushing it on the edge until it snaps into place.
