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-

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.
