BATTERY LEVEL ICON
There will be two battery icons in the upper
right hand corner of the screen while the
camera is in setup mode. The battery icon on
the left represents the internal battery and the
battery icon on the right represents the AA
power source. The camera will use the internal
battery before using the AA power source. If
both power sources are low (showing only a
single bar) the camera will continue to take photos.
However, we strongly recommend charging the camera or replacing the AA
batteries before either is drained of power. If a video is being recorded and the
battery level reaches 0%, the camera saves the le before shutting down.
CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE
4 options are available to you:
• Internal Battery:
It will need to be charged for rst use. To charge the device, use the supplied
cable and plug into the 12 V port on the camera. It will take approximately
12hours to fully charge the battery, you can check if the camera is fully
charged by sliding the power switch to the “SETUP” position and look at the
battery indicator on the screen. 4 bars indicates it is fully charged.
• Alkaline or lithium AA batteries
• Rechargeable battery 12 V (#KIT-12V sold separately)
• Solar panel lithium battery 12 V (#SPLB-22 sold separately)
Make sure to insert the AA batteries according to their polarity
(+) and (-) as shown in the battery compartment.

FOR BEST RESULTS AND NO LEAKAGE
• Use only new alkaline or lithium batteries.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable AA batteries
(their lower voltage can generate operational issues).
SPLB-22 – SOLAR PANEL
LITHIUM BATTERY COMBO UNIT
• Combines solar panel and lithium
battery into one unit to reduce wires
and setup time.
• Plugs directly into camera to provide
extensive, ongoing battery life for
your camera so you can avoid visits.
• Additional jacks and plugs allows for
device exibility.
MANAGING VARIOUS CAMERA POWER SUPPLY
If you choose to plug an external 12 V battery (#KIT-12V, sold separately) into
your camera, it becomes your camera’s new primary power source. Once the
12 V has been depleted, the camera will opt to use the internal solar powered
battery. Only once that is power source is depleted will the AA be used.

INSTALLING A MEMORY CARD
The use of a memory card is necessary for the operation of the camera.
It allows you to save photos and videos. For better performance, we
recommend that you insert only an SD/SDHC/SDXC card with a capacity
of 128 GB. Avoid using a microSD card with an SD adapter.
Once the SD card reaches its storage limit, your camera will stop taking photos
or videos. Replace it or transfer its content on another media.
When the camera is turned ON and no memory card is inserted, the screen will
display the message“No card”
Here is three tables showing the approximate number of videos that can be
saved, based on dierent memory card capacities.
