♦Please install batteries into the device before using.
♦Open the camera case.
♦Insert 4 or 8 x 1.5 V AA batteries into the battery
compartment. Ensure that the polarity is correct.
♦When using 4 batteries, please make sure to insert all
the 4 batteries in the same compartment. Installing
batteries in different compartment, such as 2 in upper
part and 2 in lower part will not power the device for
operation.
♦Close and lock the battery case.
♦If you are operating the device on a power adapter
(not supplied), open the rubber seal on the bottom of
the camera and insert the plug of the AC adapter cable

7
into the DC socket. The adapter must supply a
direct-current voltage of 6 V with at least 680mA.
Inserting storage media
►Since the camera has no built-in memory, it can only
work when a TF/Micro SD card is inserted. It is
recommended to format the TF/Micro SD card in the
camera prior to operation to improve the battery life
and shutter speed.
►The device supports TF/Micro SD memory cards with
a capacity of up to 32GB.

►Insert a TF/Micro SD memory card into the memory
card slot of the device, push it into the slot until it clicks
into place.
►To avoid malfunctions, keep the memory card away
from moisture and strong vibration, dust, heat sources
and direct sunlight.
►Insert the memory card as indicated by the icon on
the slot. Never force the memory card
into the slot. Never bend or twist the memory card.
►After transport, wait until the memory card has
reached ambient temperature before using it for the
first time. Major fluctuations in temperature or
humidity can lead to condensation which could cause

9
an electrical short-circuit. Keep the memory card in the
protective case.
►When the TF/Micro SD memory card is full, it will
automatically stop taking picture and recording video.
►To remove an TF memory card from the memory card
slot of the device, press the protruding edge of the
memory card in a little way until it pops out. Then
remove the card.
