AA batteries.
Please unlock the write-protect before inserting the SD-card.
Please insert the SD-card when the power switch is at OFF position before testing
the camera.
Please do not insert or take out the SD-card when the power switch is at ON
position.
It is recommended to format the SD-card by the camera when used at the first
time.
The camera will be in USB mode when connected to a USB port of a computer. In
this case, the SD-card functions as a removable disk.
Please ensure sufficient power when having firmware upgrade, otherwise the
upgrade process could be interrupted incorrectly. If any fault occurs after improper

3. Easy Operation
3.1 Power Supply
To supply power for the camera, four or eightAA size batteries are needed.
Open the bottom cover. Confirm that the power switch is at the OFF (Right)
position, pull out the battery depot. Load the fully charged batteries into the depot
according the polarities sign shown below. Push back the battery compartment to
the battery chamber.
The following batteries with 1.5V output can be used:
1. High-density and high-performance alkaline batteries (Recommended)
2. Rechargeable NiMH batteries
There are four battery slots. Slot 1 and 2 form one group (“1” will mark on depot),
while slot 3 and 4 form the other group (“2” will mark on depot) where each group
can supply the power individually.
When in Test Mode, camera will be automatically shut down to save power if
without any operation within 3 minutes; it could be waked up by any movement
detection.
When in low-battery state, camera will be also automatically shut down. Please
change the batteries in time.
3.2 Insert the SD-card
Insert SD-card into the card slot with marked side upwards.

the write-protect switch of the SD-card is on the “write” position.
3.3 Power on and Enter into the ON Mode
Before switching on, please pay attention to the following:
1. Avoid temperature and motion disturbances that could be construed as
animals or humans such as trees that are exposed to direct sunlight for much
of the day or any other heat source. These may cause false triggers.
2. The height from ground for placing the camera should 1 meter with the object.
