POWER

Alkaline batteries

This camera requires 2 AA batteries. We recommend the use
of AA lithium batteries since they significantly improve the
recording time and are more resistant to cold temperatures.
The use of AA alkaline batteries are also recommended. It is
important to note that the voltage of rechargeable AA batteries
(1.2V) is insufficient to power your SPYPOINT video camera.
To insert the batteries, first unscrew the 4 screws behind the
camera (see figure below) and insert the batteries as indicated
inside the camera case.

Low Battery

When the batteries are low on charge, the resolution setting "H"
or "L" (depending on resolution selected) blinks on the screen
to notify the user that the batteries must be replaced shortly.

MEMORY CARD

Using a Micro-SD memory card (sold separately, refer to the
section « OPTIONS ») is required to operate the camera
SPYPOINT X-CEL. To insert the card, unscrew the 4 screws
located behind the camera (in the same manner as the batteries).
The Micro-SD card slot is located at the bottom of the camera
(see figure below).

The camera can accept memory cards up to 8 GB. Before
inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be
turned "OFF". Failing to do so may cause the loss of videos or
damage to the memory card. When the memory card is full, the
LCD panel indicates "FULL". The following chart shows the
approximate time available for recording videos depending on
the memory card capacity.

Note: The use of a class 6 or higher memory card is
recommended. A class 2 or 4 memory card may not support a
data transfer rate high enough to record video from the X-CEL
camera.

SETTINGS

To turn "ON" the camera, press the "ON/OFF" button and hold
for 2 seconds. The same procedure is used to turn "OFF" the
camera.

This video camera is very easy to use. The only setting needed
will be to choose the high resolution "H" or the low resolution
"L". To do this, press once on the "H/L/SOUND" button to
select "H" or press twice to select "L". In "H" setting, the camera
records video in higher quality therefore taking more space
on the memory card. See the previous "MEMORY CARD"
section to know how much time is available on memory card
depending on the setting.

To start recording a video, press the "START/ST OP" button. To
stop recording, press the same button again.

SOUND RECORDING

For certain activities, such as hunting, the sound recording
may not be desired. To enable or disable the sound, press the
"H/L/SOUND" button and hold for 3 seconds. When the sound
recording is activated, the screen displays "ON" and when it is
turned off, the screen displays "OFF".

The X-CEL camera has an integrated microphone for
recording sound. The rubber cap for "normal conditions" can
record sound at all time. If recording video under water, it is
important to replace this rubber cap by the "underwater or
windy conditions" one to prevent infiltration of water inside
the camera. It is also recommended to use this rubber cap in
windy conditions. This rubber cap is located inside the camera,
under the screw (see figure below).

NUMBERS DISPLAYED ON SCREEN

LCD screen indicates, in the lower-left corner, the number
of videos recorded on the memory card. The numbers in the
middle of the screen refer to the remaining time available on
the memory card. When recording a video, these numbers
represent the duration of the video.
