6. Operating the camera

Switch your DTC 390 to "TEST" mode (main switch at the
centre). In this mode, your DTC 390 will automatically use
the most previous settings made while in the Settings
Mode.
Note: The blue activation LED will blink several seconds
before the camera enters operational mode. When the
LED stops blinking, the camera is ready to record images
and videos in accordance with your settings.
Night mode:
For night-shots, the necessary lighting is provided by the
infrared LEDs on the front of the camera. The maximum
recording distance in the dark is about 10 meters (33 feet).
Due to the nature of the infrared lighting, night-shots are
in black and white.
Aligning the camera:
The wide angle of the camera lens makes aligning your
camera quite simple: a rough eye alignment is enough at
first. Then pay particular attention to the vertical tilt, i.e.
the correct inclination of the camera. This is especially
important when the camera is not mounted on straight,
vertical posts or surfaces. Once you have found a good
position, switch the camera to TEST mode.
Now move in front of the camera from one side to the oth-
er. The blue LED will light up when one of the side sensor
zones has been activated. The red LED lights up when the
middle sensor zone has been activated. In this way, you can
roughly determine if your camera is properly aligned, which
is usually sufficient in most situations.
