Preparing Your Camera
Explanation of the Controls
Proceed as follows to prepare the camera for use:
1.Place your DTC 1000 on a flat surface.
2.Push the latch (5) up on the right of the camera body.
3.Fold the latch (5) over to the right.
4.Open the front of the camera to the left.
On the left of the opened camera body you will see the controls (11, 12, 15) and on the right the battery compartment (16). On the left outer edge of the camera body you can find the memory card and SIM card slots (9/10). At the top of the inner surface is the 2” LCD display (8). Below the display you will see the four directional buttons to make selections in the menu (11). In the center of these buttons you will find the OK button (11) used to confirm the selected menu settings; the oval-shaped ENTER button to the upper right (15) is to switch back to the main menu while in Setup Mode.
On the bottom left is the main switch (12) with three positions for the following settings:
1.OFF = main switch to the left
2.SET = Setup Mode; main switch in the middle
3.ON = Operational Mode; main switch to the right
49
On the bottom of the camera there are additional ports for:
-external power supply (13)
-USB cable (14) for attaching the camera to a computer (read more under “Attaching the camera to a computer”)
To close the camera body, proceed as follows:
1.Place your DTC 1000 on a flat surface in front of you.
2.Fold the camera body to the right.
3.Fold up the latch (5) on the right.
4.Slide the latch (5) down until firmly in place.
Inserting the Batteries
Your DTC 1000 camera is designed for AA alkaline, lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. To insert the batteries, open your camera and insert twelve 1.5 Volt AA batteries into the battery compartment (16), making sure that the (+/-) poles are in the right direction.
Note: Alternatively, an external power supply of 6V or 9V can be used. If the camera is connected to an external power supply, the batteries will be bypassed – it is thus not possible to recharge batteries while they are in the camera. Please do not
use a 12V power supply as this will damage the camera and nullify the warranty.
Checking the Battery Status
Switch the DTC 1000 into SET mode (main switch (12) to the middle). You can find the battery status symbol in the bottom left of the LCD display (8).
Note: For best results, we recommend using high quality batteries. The battery life can be prolonged by producing shorter video segments, short photo bursts or longer “quiet times” – see “Quiet Time” under “Camera Settings”.
Inserting the Memory Card
Your DTC 1000 camera supports (SD/SDHC) memory cards with a capacity of up to 32 GB. Insert the memory card into the memory card slot (9) with the brass colored contacts toward the inside of the camera. Make sure that the camera is off and that the SD card is not locked.
Note: Format your SD card using your PC before every use – we suggest not to format the card with
50
the DTC 1000 (see also “Format” under “Camera Setting”). This procedure deletes older data from the SD card and prepares your card for an error-free operation in your camera. It is recommended to record some images directly after inserting the SD card to verify the camera’s functionality.
Please make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the SD card. Switch your DTC 1000 to SET (12) to continue with your camera settings.
Inserting the SIM Card
To send photos with your DTC 1000, you will need an activated SIM card from a mobile phone provider of choice. You can use a prepaid card or a phone plan card. Make sure that the card used for the DTC 1000 is activated to send MMS messages. It is also important that this card is not locked with a PIN.
Note: MINOX assumes no responsibility for any costs that may arise in connection with the use of mobile telephone networks.
Insert the SIM card into the correct slot (10) with the chip towards the front of the camera. A schematic
imprint of the proper card position is indicated next to the card slot.
Note: Please make the sure the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the card.
Language Settings
The DTC 1000 Trail Camera is set to English by factory default. To change the menu navigation to a different language, please follow these steps:
1.Push the main switch (12) to SET.
2.You are now in Manual Release mode.
3.Push MENU (15) once. You are now in the main
menu of the camera.
3.Push the UP arrow button (11) twice.
4.You are now in the “Language” menu.
5.Push OK (11) once.
6.Using the UP/DOWN arrow buttons (11), select the desired language.
7.Push OK (11) once.
8.The main menu is now in the language you have chosen.
51
Mounting the Camera
1. Mounting strap
On the back of the camera are two mounting brackets (17) for fixing the camera to a tree or post with a strap or mounting harness. Pass the mounting strap (included in the scope of delivery) through the two brackets, around a tree or post and fasten tightly with the buckle.
2. Tripod
On the back of the camera is a ¼” tripod thread (18) for mounting the camera on a tripod.
Setup and Operational Modes
Your camera has two main modes:
Setup Mode
Switch your DTC 1000 to SET (12). You are now in Manual Release mode. Push MENU (15) once to enter the main menu of the camera. In this mode you can program the camera and set the date, time, temperature, etc., to be displayed in the photos or video footage.
Operational Mode
Switch your DTC 1000 to ON (12). In this mode, your DTC 1000 camera will be fully operational in accordance with the settings that have been made during the Setup Mode.
