INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your Surveillance Cam, you will first
need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that may
only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both batteries
and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to read the
following directions and cautions:
Loading Batteries
After opening the two latches on the right side of
the Surveillance Cam and viewing the control
panel side, you will see that the Surveillance
Cam has four battery slots. Be sure to insert each
battery with correct polarity (positive tip at the "+"
mark of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using four new lithium AA
(Energizer
brand) or alkaline AA batteries. NiMh
®
rechargeable AA batteries are not recommended,
as the lower voltage they produce can cause
operational issues. When the batteries become
weak, the low-battery indicator LED will glow
blue, indicating the batteries should be changed
(pg. 4, "Front View"). When using the Eye-Fi card, always connect the
AC adapter (also included), as WiFi operation requires a high capacity,
continuously available power source.
Inserting the SD Card
The Surveillance Cam has 20MB (not GB) of internal memory, which can
hold only about 37 photos (at the default 4MP resolution). This is handy for
testing and getting familiar with the camera, but you will no doubt want to
leave the camera unattended for a long period of time, so using an SD card
is recommended. Insert the SD card (with the camera's power switch in
the OFF position) before beginning to operate the camera. Don't insert or
remove the SD card when the power switch is in the ON position.
The Surveillance Cam uses a standard SD (Secure Digital) memory card
to save photos (in .JPG format) and/or videos (in .AVI format). SD and SDHC
(High Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported. The
camera only works with FAT formatted SD cards, so if the card you are using
