INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your NatureView 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
NatureView Cam, you will see that the NatureView
Cam has twelve battery slots, depending on your
model. For maximum battery life, you should install a
full set of batteries. The NatureView Cam may also
be operated by just four batteries installed in the first
slots only (starting on the left-see photos). Battery
life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but the camera will
operate normally. If the low battery indicator blinks,
remove and reinsert the 4 batteries to resume
operation, or install a full set. Whether you use 4 or
a full set, be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or “flat”
end against the long spring of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using a full set of new lithium AA (Energizer
®
brand)
or alkaline AA batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries are not recommended,
as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational issues. It is also
possible to use a lead-acid external battery cell with 6V output or suitable AC
adapter-see below for more details.
Using an External Power Source (optional, user provided)
Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC power source to the “DC
In” jack at the bottom of the NatureView Cam. It is recommended to use a
power source with a current output greater than 1550mA. However, during
bright daytime operation when no flash is required, the NatureView Cam
can function with much less current ( >400mA). Please use a compatible
power source cable (not provided) to connect the external DC power source
with the power input jack of the NatureView Cam, making sure that the
polarity is correct. Note: The power connector is a 4.0x1.7mm coaxial DC
power plug with positive “tip” (inside pin) polarity (Radio Shack P/N 274-
1532 or equivalent).
WARNING: Be sure the camera’s power is switched OFF
before inserting or removing SD cards or batteries.
