A 3-way power switch is used to select the main operating
modes: OFF,ON, and SET (Figure 5).
A control key interface with six keys is primarily used in SET
mode to select operational functions and parameters. As shown
in Figure.5, the keys can also perform a second function
(shortcut operations in SET mode) in addition to their main
function.
5. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you start learning how to use your camera, you will first
need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although
that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes
about both batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so
please take the time to read the following directions and
cautions:
5.1. LOADING BATTERIES
After opening the cover of the battery compartment, you will
see that the camera has eight battery slots (Figure 6). A full
eight batteries must be installed for the camera to operate. Be
sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or
"flat" end against the long spring of each battery slot).
In the SET mode when battery power level gets low, the
message "Low Battery" will show on the screen, please replace
the batteries. If the battery indicator shows in RED, this does
mean the batteries are not able to drive IR LEDs flash at night,
however the batteries still work at daytime until "Low Battery".
If you want to continue night vision, please replace the
batteries.

5.2. INSERTING THE SD CARD
Insert the SD card (with the camera's power switch in the OFF
position) before beginning to operate the camera. Don't insert or
remove the SD card when the power switch is in the ON or
SET position. The camera uses a standard-size memory card to
save photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .mp4 format). SD
and SDHC (High Capacity)/SDXC cards up to a maximum
512GB capacity are supported (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Inserting the SD Card

8
The following describes how to insert and remove the SD card:
Insert the SD card into the card slot with its label side
upwards.A "click" sound indicates that the card is installed
successfully. If the wrong side of the card is facing up, you
will not be able to insert it without force, there is only one
correct way to insert cards. If the SD card is not installed
correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon on the
screen in SET mode.Formatting the SD card by using the
camera's "Format" parameter in the menu settings before
using it for the first time is recommended, especially when a
card has been used in other devices.
To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not
try to pull it out without pushing in first). The card is
released from the slot and ready to be removed when you
hear the click. Be sure the camera's power is switched OFF
before inserting or removing SD cards or batteries.
6. USING THE CAMERA
Once you've prepared your camera by properly installing
batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside, strap
it to a tree (or not-according to your application scenario),
switch it ON and leave-and you might get some great photos
that are exactly what you wanted. However, we highly
recommend that you first spend some additional time indoors
with this manual and your camera until you know a bit more
about what the 3-way switch and those control keys do. If
nothing else, you'll probably want to at least set the date and
time so the camera will imprint them (or not-it's your option) on
your photos as they are taken, learn how to set the camera to
shoot video clips instead of still photos if you like, and read
some tips about mounting it on a tree.

7. THE OFF, ON, AND SET MODES
The camera has three basic operational modes:
OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position.
ON mode: Power switch in the ON position.
SET mode: Power switch in the SET position (screen is on).
7.1. OFF MODE
The OFF mode is the "safe" mode when any actions must be
taken, e.g., replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting
the device. And of course, when you are storing or not using the
camera, you will switch it to OFF. Please note that in the OFF
mode the camera consumes little power. It's a good idea to take
the batteries out of the battery compartment if the camera will
not be used for a long time.
7.2. ON MODE
Any time after the batteries and SD card have been inserted,
you can switch the camera on. When the power switch is moved
to the middle position, the camera will enter into the ON
(Surveillance) mode. If the Mode is set as "Motion Detection",
the camera will countdown 30-second delay and then be ready
to capture images. If the Mode is set as "Time Lapse", there will
be no 30-second counting down, and the camera will be ready
to enter Time Lapse.
Once in the ON mode, no manual controls are needed or
possible (the control keys have no effect). The camera will take
photos or videos automatically (according to its current
parameter settings).
You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to
ON mode, or stop at the SET position first to change one or
more settings, then move the switch to ON after you have

10
finished doing so.
7.3. SET MODE
In the SET mode you can check and change the settings of the
camera with the help of its built-in screen. These settings, found
in the menu by pressing MENU key, let you change the photo
or video resolution, interval between photos, switch the time
imprint on, etc. (See more in Section 8 ADVANCED
SETTINGS).
Moving the power switch to the SET position will turn on the
screen display, you will see an information screen that shows
how many images have been taken, the battery level, camera or
video mode, etc.
Attention please: In SET mode, the camera will automatically
enter ON mode if there is no operation (key pressing) within 5
minutes. Then the camera will perform as your settings in the
menu.
In the SET mode, you can connect the camera to a computer's
USB port to download your images.
Shortcut Keys/Functions
As mentioned earlier in "Parts & Controls", the keypads have
secondary, "shortcut" functions when the camera is switched to
SET mode:
Press the UP key to quickly set the camera to shoot video
clips.
Press the DOWN key to quickly set the camera to take still
photos.
Press the RIGHT key to manually trigger the shutter. This is
useful for testing the camera. The "number of images taken"
counter on the top right of the screen will increase by one.
Press the OK key to playback. Then press UP or DOWN

11
key to navigate the history photo or video if you want.
Finally press the OK key to exit playback.
8. ADVANCED SETTINGS
The trail camera comes with preset manufacturer settings. You
can change the settings to meet your requirements. Please make
sure that the camera is in the SET mode. Once the camera
screen is on, press MENU key to enter/exit the menu. Press the
UP/DOWN key to move the marker, Press the LEFT/RIGHT
key to change the setting, and press the OK key to confirm the
change. Always remember to press the OK to save the change.
Otherwise, you will lose your new setting.

Select the shortest length of time that the
camera will wait until it responds to any
subsequent triggers from the PIR sensor
after a game is first detected. During the
selected interval, the camera will not take
pictures/videos. This prevents the SD card
from filling up with too many redundant
images. 0 means capture as fast as
possible.
Note: this option is invalid if Mode is set
as "Time Lapse".

Off
Selecting On will activate the side motion
sensors. It brings faster trigger speeds and
helps capture fast moving animals. When
any of the two side motion sensors detects
a motion event, the camera will be
pre-activated. While the animal enters the
detection area of the center motion sensor,
the camera will start taking photos or
videos. Select Off to save batteries power.
Motion
Test
This feature helps you aim the camera at
your target area. Please refer to the details
in Section 9.2.
Timelaps

optional
from 3s to
24h
Set time lapse interval. It takes effect
ONLY when Mode is set as Time Lapse or
Hybrid, the camera will automatically take
photos/videos according to the set interval,
regardless of whether the PIR sensor has
detected any game. This is helpful when
observing cold-blooded animals like
snakes, or the process of flowering, etc.
Note: This option is invalid if Mode is set
as "Motion Detection".
