Setup and Operation Guide
1. Open the Sentry by pulling out on the two latches on the right side. Install 4 “D” cell batteries (at base of all
batteries contacting springs), and insert an SD card (not included, use any capacity from 16MB to 1GB. Do not
substitute MMC cards.) in the slot to the right of the 5 buttons as indicated on the slot cover (upside down, with the
notched corner of the card on the left and metal contacts of the card facing the back of the slot). Press the card down
until you hear it click into place. If the Sentry is turned on without a card in place, it may not turn off-reset it by pulling
one of the batteries out partway, insert a new or empty SD card, and put the battery back in place. Only remove or
insert cards with power off.
2. Press and release the Power switch. The display will show four “dashes”, then
change to “HHHH” with a blinking key icon below it (Fig a). This is a prompt to enter

turned on, the password is the default, “0000”. Press the Enter button four times to
enter four zeros (b) (if you previously changed the password in the setup menu, use the
UP/DOWN buttons to enter your password digits, pressing ENTER after each one.),
then press it again to conrm-the display indicates “PASS” and the camera is ready
to operate. If the wrong password is entered, the display will ash “ERRO” and the
camera will not work or allow the password to be changed. After an incorrect password
is entered for the third time, the Sentry will automatically turn off.
Power must be turned on again before beginning a new password entry cycle.

your photos will be “stamped” correctly. Briey press the Menu button-”DATE” will
blink on the display. Press Enter to conrm you want to change the date, then the rst
two digits will ash, prompting you to enter the month (c). Use the Up/Down buttons
to set the current month, then press Enter. Set the day of the month the same way, and
