Switch your DTC 390 to "TEST" (main switch at the centre).
If the SD card has been inserted improperly, is not inserted
at all or is not compatible, you will see the corresponding
message in the display. After inserting the proper card cor-
rectly, you can continue with setting your camera.
Note: If the SD card was used to store data in other de-
vices, reformat the SD card on a PC. By reformatting the
card, all previous data will be deleted to ensure error-free
operation. If the SD card has only been used in the DTC
390, formatting can be done with camera as well. It is
recommended to take some test photos to make sure that
the SD card is functioning properly.

Mounting the camera
1. Mounting strap: The mounting bracket on the back of
the camera can be used to mount the camera on a tree
or post. The strap can be pulled through the bracket and
around the tree or post and then tightened. Once the
camera has been mounted, it can be turned 90° and
removed from the bracket, and reattached in the same
way. This enables a quick and easy removal of the cam-
era to make necessary settings, exchange the batteries
or remove the SD card, without having to reposition the
camera afterwards.
2. Tripod: The ¼" socket at the bottom of the mounting
bracket can be used to mount the camera on a tripod
or the wall mounting bracket included in the scope of
delivery.
3. Wall mount: The DTC 390 can be mounted on a wall
or ceiling with the wall mount (included in the scope of
delivery). Please make sure that the fastening screws are
tight before attaching the camera.
