sponding message in the display. After inserting the proper
card correctly, 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
550, 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 eyelets 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 eyelets
and around the tree or post and then tightened. Alter-
natively, eyelets for mounting the camera with a rope
or wire rope (not included in the scope of delivery) are
also available.
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 550 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.
5. Setup mode
Switch your DTC 550 to "SETUP" mode (main switch at
the centre). You will now be in the manual photo release
mode – in this mode, you can take photos or videos to test
the functionality of the camera. Push "MENU" to enter the
main menu of the camera.
You can make various basic settings (please move the
arrow keys down or up and confirm a selection made by
pressing the OK button). By default certain settings have
been pre-selected. If you want to keep the setting (bold in

menu item and can skip it.
