After opening the two latches on the right side of the camera,

you will see that it has 8 battery slots. For maximum battery life, we recommend using 8 lithium AA or alkaline AA batteries. The cam may also be operated by just four batteries installed in the first slots only (starting on the right-see photo). Battery life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but the camera will operate normally. Whether you use 4 or a full set, be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or “flat” end against the long spring of each battery slot). Power Supply SD Card Insert the SD card ( OFF mode ) before beginning to operate the camera. SD card is supported up to maximum 32GB capacity. 32GB 5 KEEPTIME

Operational Modes The cam has three basic operational modes: 「OFF」, 「ON」 and 「SETUP」 ●「OFF 」Mode When cam in OFF mode, you can do the following: • replacing the SD card or batteries • connecting cam with other device by USB port It will occur a little of power consumption under OFF mode. If you won't use it for a long time, please take batteries off. ●「ON」Mode Once in ON mode no manual controls are needed or possible (the control keys have no effect). The cam will take photos or videos automatically (according to its current parameter settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor′s detection of activity in the area it covers.

in Camera mode. This setting affects photos taken in Field Scan mode as well. 640*360 Selects video resolution (in pixels per frame). Higher resolution produces better quality videos, but creates larger files that take up more of the SD card capacity (fills up faster). Video Length Sets length per captured video clip.

MOUNTING and POSITIONING

Mounting We recommend mounting cam on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about 16-17 ft(5 meters) away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 5-6.5 ft. (1.5~2 m). Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 60' (19m) and no closer than 10'(3m) from the camera. There are two ways to mount cam: using the provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket. •Using the adjustable web belt: Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the back of cam. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left. •Using the tripod socket:The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom end. Sensing Angle and Distance Test To test whether cam can effectively monitor the area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring distance of cam. To perform the test: •Switch cam to SETUP mode. • Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area where you expect game or subjects to be. Try different distances and angles from camera. • If emotion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be sensed. The results of your testing will help you find the best place where mounting and aiming the cam. The height from the ground for placing the device should vary with animal size appropriately. In general,3 to 6 feet is preferred. You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat source or nearby tree branches or brush (especially on windy days).
