Loading Batteries

Push the battery cover latch in towards the left, then swing open the battery cover. Insert 2 AA Alkaline or Lithium batteries into the compartment (be sure fabric strip is underneath the batteries for easy removal later) in the direction indicated by the diagrams inside, then close the battery cover until it clicks. Note: Rechargeable NiMh type batteries may also be used, but some models may not deliver adequate current to power the Instant Replay. NiMh batteries with a current rating of 1600 mAh or higher are recommended.

Basic Binocular and Camera Setup

Before taking photos or videos, take a few moments to setup the Instant Replay for your individual eyesight and user preferences. Pull the rubber eyecups straight up if you are not wearing glasses. Grasp the left and right sides of the Instant Replay, and pull the halves apart while looking through the binocular to adjust the eyepiece spacing until your view is a single circular image. Press the Power button and raise the LCD display. Find a distant object with ﬁne detail (tree, sign, brick wall, etc), and adjust the center focus knob until the object appears sharp on the LCD (press the “up” arrow button for a 3x magniﬁed preview). Now look through the left binocular eyepiece. If the object does not look sharp here as well, you need to make a one-time adjustment to “ﬁne tune” the left eyepiece for your vision so it matches the camera focus (you can skip this procedure if the left binocular image appear sharp):

Inserting A Compact Flash Card

The camera can store from about 12 up to 567 photos in the 32 MB internal memory, depending on resolution and quality settings (refer to the chart at the back of this manual). To expand the available storage, you may add an optional Compact Flash type memory card, with any capacity up to 1 GB. The card is inserted into a slot in the compartment on the left side of the Replay, as shown in the last diagram. Insert the CF card with the label side facing up. Note: turn off the power before inserting or removing cards to prevent possible loss of ﬁles or damage to the card. A new card will not require formatting, but a card that has been previously used in other devices should be formatted by the Instant Replay before storing photos on it (See “Setup Menu” in the following section). Note that this will erase all ﬁles previously stored on the card, so be sure they have been downloaded or copied ﬁrst if you wish to keep them.

Card Slot

Remove the rubber eyecup from the left eyepiece by pulling straight up on it. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to loosen the set screw you will see on the rim of the metal eyepiece, just enough to be able to easily rotate the eyepiece. Once you have done this, again focus (using the center focus knob) on an object until it is sharp on the LCD, then look through the left eyepiece, and rotate the eyepiece (do not change the center focus knob) clockwise or counter-clock- wise until the object is also sharp to your eyes. You may then tighten the set screw and replace the eyecup.

A diopter adjustment is provided on the right eyepiece, as on all binoculars, to accomodate any difference between your left and right eyesight. This is another “one-time” adjustment. After you have an object focused on the LCD and check that the image is also sharp through the left side of the binocular (making the adjustment outlined above if necessary), simply rotate the right eyepiece until the image is equally sharp for your right eye. Four “clicks” for this are provided on each side of the normal “0”.

Note: the LCD will automatically shut off after 1 minute of inactivity, to conserve battery life. Press the
“Display” button to turn it back on if you need to continue using it. The Replay’s power will automatically
shut off after 5 minutes to conserve batteries if the unit has been inactive (no buttons have been pressed)
during that time.	9
