Installing the batteries:
Your Code Black can function short term on 4-AA
batteries. Improved battery life on 8-AA, but we
suggest you use 12-AA batteries to get the most out
of your cameras battery life. Using Covert
rechargeable NiMH, 2300mAh, AA batteries will
extend the battery life significantly.
DISCLAIMER: Do not use external power source
(Example: Solar Panel) with non-rechargeable AA
battery installed in camera. The Covert AA NiMH
battery when used in conjunction with the solar
panel extends the time in the field.
Install batteries by sliding the top battery into the
sleeve, then depressing the spring with the other
battery and snapping down in place. Pay attention
to the (+) or (-) molded into each sleeve to
determine if you insert the positive or negative end
into the sleeve first. Negative battery terminal

always contacts the spring. (Fig. 3)

Installing your SIM card:
Using the SIM card provided in the packaging, open
your camera housing to expose the control panel.
Make sure your camera mode selector switch is in
the OFF position. On the left side of the camera
control panel towards the top is a small card slot.
See Figures 4 & 5.
Press the card in securely, until it clicks in place.
To remove the SIM card, simply press in on the card
until it clicks and then release it.

Installing the SD card:
Now that you have your SIM card and it has been
installed in the camera, you will need to install an
SD card in the bottom of the camera, (Covert SD
card recommended). See Figure 7 for card
orientation. The card installs the same way as the
SIM card did. Push in until it clicks and release. To
remove, repeat that process, the card will pop out
enough to remove. You can use any SD card size up
to 32GB. You must have the SD card in the camera
to be able to turn the camera on and set it up. The
camera will only send the first picture of the 1,2,3
shot burst.
Figure 7
NOTE: Every photo
taken with this
camera will be saved
to the SD card even if
it is sending the
photos wireless. You
will have access to
the high resolution
images on the SD
card.
