Design Highlights
This Cuddeback camera has been designed for
reliability.
 User Interface is weather resistant and covered
with a sealing door. This resilient rubber/plasc
door is more robust than a convenonal hinge
door.
 The SD card ts into a socket in the boom of the
camera to prevent water from entering the
camera when you check your camera in the rain.
 The SD card socket is not spring loaded. We
believe pull-out style sockets are more reliable.
 The baery door and SD card door are secured
with brass thumb screws instead of breakable
latches.
 The moon sensor’s Fresnel lens is user
replaceable.
 The Genius mount is inexpensive and replaceable.
If abused by a person or animal, the bracket will
break before the camera, potenally saving your
camera from damage.

SD Card
This Cuddeback camera is compable with SD cards
sizes 2GB to 32GB. Do not use SDXC cards. Micro SD
cards will funcon with the proper adapter (usually
included with the micro SD card). Treat your SD cards
nice. They are very sophiscated electronic devices
made with billions of stac sensive transistors. Keep
them dry and do not bend them.
WARNING – Never insert a wet or damp SD card into your
camera or computer.
Internal Memory
You can use this camera without an SD card. Up to
120MB of internal memory is available for image
storage - videos and me lapse images cannot be
stored to internal memory. Images stored in internal
memory will automacally be copied to an SD card
when a card is inserted. This feature is handy if you
check a camera without a spare SD card. You can
remove the SD card and take it home, yet sll leave
the camera a-eld. When you return, all you need to
do is install the SD card & ARM the camera to transfer
images from internal memory to the SD card.

5
Install SD Card
Insert the SD card into the camera label side down.
Do not force the card. If it does not go in easily check
to make sure you are inserng it correctly. You will
break the card socket if you force the card.

label facing down
SD Card Tip
The SD Card reader on this camera is not spring
loaded. We believe a pull out SD socket is more
reliable. You can make your SD card easier to access
by placing electrical tape on the SD card, as shown
below, to create a pull tab.

Baery Noce
Remove baeries when the camera is not going to be
used for an extended period of me. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in baery leakage which
will damage your camera.
 Never mix old and new baeries.
 Never mix dierent types of baeries.
 Never mix lithium and alkaline baeries.
 Replace all baeries at the same me.
 Always remove baeries when the camera is not
going to be used for a period of me.
 Dispose of baeries properly as recommended by
the baery manufacturer.
 Never expose skin or eyes to baery acid. Refer
to baery manufacturer’s precauons.
 This camera can use alkaline D baeries.
DC INPUT. This camera has a baery input
connector. Only use CuddePower baery packs or
cables. Maximum input voltage is 9 volts DC.
DO NOT ATTACH CAMERA TO A 12 VOLT BATTERY!

7
Install Baeries
Install baeries by loosening the 2 baery door
thumb screws and opening the baery door. Insert 4
D baeries as shown then secure the baery door
with the thumb screws. Tighten fully but do not
overghten.
Make sure to observe the correct polarity. Baeries
can explode, leak acid, or ignite if inserted
incorrectly.
We recommend Rayovac, Duracell, or Energizer brand
baeries only. (Choose baeries carefully – there is a
dierence, especially in
cold temperatures).
This camera will not
operate with rechargeable
baeries. The baery
voltage is too low.

8
Zone Control
This camera is equipped with Cuddeback’s patented
Zone Control. The moon sensor can be set to detect
animals in a wide angle or a narrow view.
Wide view will capture more animals but is more
suscepble to triggering by non-target animals (such
as birds) which can lead to blank images and can
result in images of the nose or tail of the animal.
Narrow view is very accurate and generates images
with the animals centered in the image but will not
capture images to the side of the camera.
Slide the Zone Control shuer to the appropriate
posion by placing your thumb as shown in the next
diagrams (be careful not to damage the Fresnel lens).
Important: When changing the Zone Control shuer
posion we recommend you also change the ZONE
seng as explained in the User Interface Manual.
Set the ZONE seng to WIDE if the Zone Control
Shuer is down. Set to CENTERED if the Zone Control
Shuer is up.

Push the Zone Control shuer down for wide detecon.
Push the Zone Control shuer up for centered detecon.
