ENGLISH
To ensure maximum performance of the camera and prevent battery
leakage, we recommend using new batteries. Use ONLY Lithium
batteries or ONLY Alkaline batteries. Rechargeable [AA] batteries are not
recommended as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational
issues.
To get the best possible results and maximum battery life, we
recommend the use of an external 12V source.
INSERTING A MEMORY CARD
Always ensure that the camera is turned off before inserting a memory
card. Insert a MICRO SD memory card (up to 32 GB capacity) into the
MICRO SD card slot with the label side facing upwards. The card is
inserted correctly when a click is heard.
We recommend formatting your MICRO SD card if it was previously in another
electronic device.
