switch on BATTERY.

• Insert the battery pack plug into the DC 12V jack of the bottom
of camera housing

• Turn the camera power on.

 Please make sure the voltage and polarity (+/-) are correct

before connection. Incorrect voltage or polarity (+/-) will
damage the camera.

Memory Options

Your STC-WD1 camera is equipped with 16MB built in flash
memory. The camera is also equipped with an expendable
media card slot capable accepting up to 1GB SD card (sold
separately). With no memory card inserted into the slot, the
camera will use the built in 16MB memory. If a SD card is
inserted into the slot then the camera will bypass the built in
memory and utilize the SD memory. The front counter display will

show the number of images on the built in memory unless the
expansion card is inserted at which point the counter will only
show the number of images in the expansion card.

Inserting SD card

Make sure camera is in the OFF position whenever adding or
removing memory.

• Insert SD memory card in to the SD card slot completely and in
the correct direction as shown by the sticker located at the side
of the housing.

• To remove the SD memory card, depress the SD card and pull
out the card gently.

 SD cards must be clean (no images from other sources), if

you are using the SD card from other cameras, please
make sure to format the SD card prior use in the STC-WD1
(See format section on page 18). New cards are good to
use straight from the package.
