On the right outer side of the camera core is the
memory card slot (7). In the centre of the camera
core is a 2" LCD monitor (6). In the upper area of
the camera core there is the camera lens (2), sur­
rounded by the IR LEDs (1) with a black filter for
night shots.
Turn the camera core around to access the battery
compartment (14) for 8 x 1.5 volt AA batteries. On
the underside of the camera core there are additio­
nal connections for:
­ External power source (12)
­ USB cable (13) to connect the camera to a
computer (described in the point on
„Connecting the camera to a computer").
To close the camera, proceed as follows:
1. Replace the camera core in the camera case.
2. Place your DTC 700 in front of you.
3. Snap the camera case shut.
4. Close the lock (15) on the camera case.

Inserting the batteries

Your DTC 700 camera is designed for alkaline, lit­
hium or nickel­metal hydride (NiMH) AA batteries.
To insert the batteries, open the camera case as de­
scribed above and remove the camera core. Insert
10 x 1.5 Volt AA batteries as instructed in the bat­
tery compartment (14) on the back of the camera
core. Pay attention to the correct insertion direction/
polarity (+/­).

Note: The external power source can be acces­
sed with 6V. The batteries are bridged when the
camera is connected to an external power sour­
ce. In other words, the battery cannot be char­
ged inside the camera, not even using a solar
panel. Please do not use a power source above
6V as that would damage the camera. In such a
case, you have no claim under guarantee.

Checking the battery level

Switch your DTC 700 to the "SETUP" mode (control
switch (11) centre). The battery status will be indica­
ted on the bottom left edge of the LCD monitor (6).
Note: We recommend using high efficiency
batteries for optimum performance. You can
prolong battery life if you create shorter video
sequences.

Using the memory card

You need a memory card (SD/SDHC­card) in order
to store images or video clips. Your DTC 700 camera
supports memory cards of up to 32 GB.
Inserting the memory card
Open the camera case. Insert the memory card in
the memory card slot (7). Ensure that the gold­co­
loured contacts are visible when you look at the ca­
mera. Ensure that the SD card is not write­protected
(SD cards slider is not in the "lock" mode).
Switch your DTC 700 to "SETUP" mode (main
switch "centre"). When your DTC 700 camera gives
off a beep that means that either no memory card
has been inserted, it was not correctly inserted or
it is not compatible. The LCD monitor will display
a "No card" message in red. If no beeping signal
is sounded, you can continue to adjust the camera.
Note: If the SD card was used to store data in
other devices, reformat the SD card on a PC. By
reformatting it all all old data will be deleted
from the SD card to ensure error­ free functio­
ning. If the SD card was only used in the DTC
700, it can be formatted in DTC 700. Once it is
inserted, the SD card must be checked for proper
functioning by taking pictures.
