3. Preparing the camera for use
Explanation of the controls
To prepare your camera before use, proceed as follows:
- Place the DTC 460 in front of you.
- The camera consists of a camera module and a front panel to disguise the camera in the wilderness. An assortment of
front panels is available as accessories to best match the surroundings in which the camera will be used. To access the
control panel of the camera, the front panel must first be removed. Once the camera has been mounted, the necessary
settings have been made and the batteries have been inserted, the panel can be placed onto the front of the camera and
gently pressed until it clicks into place. To remove the panel, gently pull away from the camera module.
- Remove the front panel
- You will now see the control buttons on the front of the module
- The main switch for the three main functions can be found on the underside, on the right under a rubber covering:
1. Function “OFF”: Main switch to the left
2. Function “SETUP”: Main switch in the middle
3. Function “ON”: Main switch to the right
On the bottom of the camera, next to the main switch, you can also find the SD card slot, as well as the USB cable port to
connect the camera to a computer.
Likewise, you will find on the bottom right and left sides of the camera the battery magazines for 4x 1.5 Volt AA batteries.
These can be pulled down to remove them from the camera. When inserting the bar magazines again, please make sure
that you hear an audible click when pressing the magazines into place.
On the front of the camera module, you will find the 2.4” LCD display.
Inserting the batteries
Your DTC 460 camera is equipped with 2 battery magazines which can hold 4 AA batteries each. You can use alkaline,
lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) AA batteries.
The battery magazines can be removed by carefully pulling them downwards. Insert 4x 1.5 Volt AA batteries into each
magazine as indicated. Please make sure that the batteries are inserted to match the +/- poles.
Checking the battery level
Switch your DTC 460 to the “SETUP” mode (main switch in the middle). At the bottom of the display, you can see the
battery status symbol.
Note: We recommend using high efficiency batteries for optimum performance. You can prolong battery life if you create
shorter video sequences.
Memory card
To record images or videos, you will need an SD/SDHC memory card. Your DTC 460 camera supports memory cards up to 32
GB.
Inserting the memory card
Remove the front panel. Release the rubber covering on the underside of the camera module. Insert the memory card into
the slot. Make sure that the gold-colored contacts are at the top and facing away from you when inserting the card. Ensure
that the SD card is not write-protected (card slider is not in the “Lock” mode). Switch your DTC 460 to “SETUP” (main switch
in the middle). When applicable, you will see in the display if a card has not been inserted, not inserted correctly or if it is
