1.2 Charge Camera Batteries

Plug in each battery pack, one at a time, and bring the batteries to full

charge. The indicator light will flash during charging. When fully

charged, the light will illuminate continuously.

1.3 Check Garmin eTrex GPS for battery condition

The Garmin eTrex H is used to record a mission track log. A track log is required in

order to determine aircraft direction, from which camera direction is determined. The

eTrex also serves as a back-up GPS in the event the Nikon GP-1 GPS proves unable to

remain locked onto the GPS satellite network which might happen when a mission is

flown in mountainous terrain.

The Garmin eTrex GPS requires two AA batteries. Install as follows:

Remove the battery cover located on the back of the eTrex. Battery is replaced by turning

the metal fastener on the back of the unit counter clockwise 90 degrees and then

removing the back cover. Install 2AA batteries. Replace cover.

Turn on the Garmin etrex GPS

[right side second button from top].

Push Page button [top button right

side] until the Menu screen appears.

At the bottom of the screen there is a

battery indicator- it should be grayed

in. If not more than 50% grayed in,

replace battery. When done, push

Power button until the unit turns off.

[right side, second button from top].

Install memory card (card may already be in the camera)

by opening the door located on the right side of the

camera and gentally pushing the card in until it clicks in

place. A light located on the back-right of the camera

will briefly illuminate to confirm the card is seated. The

card can be removed by pushing the card in

and it will pop out. One 8 GB card is

Just to the left of the camera AF switch is the lens optical

stabilizer switch (OS). Place this switch to ON.

switch is located on the top-left side of the camera.

low light condition is encountered.

If the GP-1 cable is not attached to the GPS, do so

by selecting the smaller of the two connector ends

(the end does not have the words Nikon or CA 90

on it) and pushing it into the side of the GP-1

marked “camera” while lining up the arrows on the

GP-1 and cable. Push it in until it snaps into place.

The arrow on the cable will no longer be visible.

Plug the other end of the cable into the camera

GPS port. The arrow on this cable end should be located so that it is visible from the back

of the camera. This connection does not snap into place; just slide it in all the way.

It is recommended the GP-1 cable be left attached at the GP-1 end while in storage.

Install Camera Batteries

The Nikon MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack is capable of holding two rechargeable

batteries or six AA batteries. The camera will work properly with only one rechargeable

battery installed. Two batteries give extended operation time. The six AA batteries are

only used if the rechargeable batteries are discharged and there is no electrical power

available to operate the charger, or if time is limited to allow for recharge.

The camera battery door is located on the back of the camera at the bottom. Flip out the

latch and rotate it counter clockwise to open the door. Gentally press the white tab to the

outside of the pack and then insert the battery as shown. To remove a battery, press the

associated white tab to the outside of the pack and the battery will pop out.

If the AA battery accessory is used, install the six batteries while observing proper

polarity. The accessory will move the white tabs as required.
