Battery Power Options
The Stealth Cam STC-I840IR is designed to operate using two different
battery power options. The camera must be in the OFF position when
installing or removing batteries. Use of batteries other than those
specified in this section may damage the camera and void your
warranty.
Using “C” Cell Batteries
The internal battery compartment accepts 8 “C” cell batteries. Pull up
on the bottom clip of the battery cover to open. Use fresh, high quality
alkaline batteries. Install batteries in the correct polarity (+/-) referring
to the illustration inside the battery compartment. Secure battery cover.
Precaution: When replacing batteries, replace all the batteries within
10 minutes. Otherwise, this will result in the loss of date / time setting
12V Lead Acid Battery (Recommended for extended field life)
To avoid replacing batteries when out in the field, the STC-I840IR is
equipped with an external power jack designed to accept a barrel plug
cable that attaches to an optional lead acid battery (Stealth Cam STC-

12VBB). Complete 12V Lead Acid battery kits offer significantly more
usage than standard alkaline batteries. They are available at your
Stealth Cam dealer, or call toll free (877) 269-8490. Only Stealth Cam
external battery accessories are recommended.

Built-in Memory & SD Memory Card Installation
Your STC-I840IR camera is equipped with 32MB of built in flash
memory. The camera is also equipped with an expandable media card
slot capable of accepting up to a 2GB SD card (sold separately). With
no memory card inserted into the slot, the camera will use the built in
flash memory to store images. If an SD card is inserted into the slot
then the camera will bypass the built in memory and utilize the SD card
memory. The front counter display will show the number of images of
either the built in flash memory or the inserted SD memory card after
you turn on the camera.
