MountIng & fIeld setup
The Jag comes with a 6 ft nylon mounting strap which allows for quick and easy
mounting. The camera back is unique in that it has 12 vertical large bark biters and
several dierent adjustment slots. This allows for several strap placement options or
another strap can be added depending on your application. Either way, you can be
guaranteed that the Jag will mount to just about anything.
The “PatentPending” Jagdesign is very unique; the camera head has the ability to
pivot up and down without the aid of any other mounting apparatus. No more wedging
sticks between the camera and the tree to get the correct camera angle, especially on
those crooked and twisted tree.

14
PLEASE REGISTER TO ACTIVATE YOUR PRODUCT’S WARRANTY.
• To tilt and release the head simply loosen the spring-loaded tension screw located
on the right side of the camera head.
• Note: make sure the locking screw located on the bottom right side of the camera
head is released before you try to pivot the head. Loosen the locking screw by
turning it out or counter clockwise until the camera head moves freely.
• Using the LaserLight, pivot the camera head until the desired location or target
area is reached. Next, turn the locking screw clockwise to tighten the camera head in
place. Caution: Light pressure from the locking screw is sucient to hold the camera
head in place; do not over tighten the locking screw.
• Another big advantage of the Jag is to elevate the camera 10-20 ft o the ground.
It will be less conspicuous to game, other hunters or camera thieves; it will also be
better protected from animals, such as a curious bear.
a. If you choose not to elevate the camera as earlier suggested the ideal mounting
height for deer or big game should be waist high or around 36 to 40 inches from the
ground. For shorter game like bear or turkeys, knee height will work better.
b. The motion detection angle of your Jag is about 60 degrees, which is slightly wider
than the camera Field of View. The motion detection distance in ideal conditions is 50–
70 ft. This can be greatly aected by weather conditions, animal body size, and speed at
which an animal passes through the detection zone.
aRMIng the CaMeRa: There are two dierent ways yourJagcan be
armed. To start the automatic arm process, do not touch any of the setup buttons for
15 seconds. Next, the screen will display and start a 15 second count down. When the
countdown is complete, the camera will be self armed. It can also be force armed by
pressing the +and –arrows at the same time until the screen goes blank.

15
PLEASE REGISTER TO ACTIVATE YOUR PRODUCT’S WARRANTY.
To wake the camera up, simply touch the power button. Do not hold the button down
or the camera will shut o. Note: If the camera is in the process of taking still photos or
videos, it must rst complete the process before it will wake up.
Red laseR: The redlaserlightorwalktestlighton your Jag is used to help
determine your camera is set at the proper height and is pointed in the right direction.
This laser is extremely helpful for camera setups that are mounted up higher where the
camera head needs to be pointed down towards the target. After 90 seconds the red
laser will shut o and remain o. Unlikeconventionalwalktestlightsthatashon
whenmotionisdetected,thislasersystemwillshutowhenmotionisdetected
andthenturnbackonaftertheobjectpassesthroughthedetectionzone.
Note: your camera does not wait to start taking pictures until after the redlaserlight
shuts o.For example, if you have the delay set to 10 seconds, it will
record pictures within 10 seconds from when the screen goes blank
and the camera is armed.
CautIon: Do not stare directly into the laser light. Prolonged
exposure may cause permanent eye damage.

CaMeRa CaRe
Moisture,vibration,and extremetemperature can cause severe damage to your trail
camera and should be avoided. Keeping your camera free from moisture and vibration
and using in the correct temperatures will assure you many years of maintenance free
service and operation.
MoIstuRe: Although all Eyecon™ Trail Cameras have a very durable plastic
composite case which also makes them water resistant even under the most extreme
weather conditions, care must be taken to prevent water damage.
• neveR mount your trail camera upside down or leave the case open for an extended
period of time.
• neveR change batteries, camera settings or SD cards in heavy rain.
•If your camera would happen to get water inside, remove the batteries immediately and
allow the camera to dry out for several days before activating it.
vIBRatIon: Like any electronic device, your Eyecon™ Trail Camera is designed
with many small electronic components that are very sensitive to vibration. Failure to
follow careful handling & transport may cause extreme and irreparable damage to your
camera.
• neveR drop the camera on a hard surface
• always transport your camera in a method to avoid bouncing around or vibration.
teMpeRatuRe:
Recommended storage and operating temperature: -10° F to 120° F.
note: Battery life and functions may discontinue or experience shortness in extreme
cold/warm

17
PLEASE REGISTER TO ACTIVATE YOUR PRODUCT’S WARRANTY.
• neveR store your camera in a vehicle or other contained environment with extremely
high temperatures for an extended period of time!
Note: The Jag is designed with a low battery voltage shut down to ensure maximum
camera performance. For example, if your camera was in use for several weeks or
months and you push the power button to wake it up, you may notice a ashing
“BatteryWarning”in the area were the date and time normally are. The only way
to clear the battery warning is to remove and replace the batteries. It is highly
recommended not to use the camera until the batteries have been replaced.
tRouBleshootIng
CaMeRa not RespondIng: If your camera at anytime does not respond when the
buttons are pushed or you cannot turn it o, your camera maybe locked up. The best
way to resolve this problem is to remove the AA battery compartment for a period of
10 seconds. This will cut the main power supply to the camera and will take care of the
problem. If you are using both the external ECA100Extenda-LifelithiumBatteryPack
and internal aa Alkaline supply, you will need to do the same for both.
Bad sdhC CaRd: Over time a sdhC or any storagedevice could become corrupt. If your
camera fails to acknowledge the SDHCcard we recommend that you replace the card with
a new SDHCcard or one from a dierent EYECON™Trail Camera that you know works.
This will help determine whether the problem is the SDHCcard or the camera. We do not
recommend using cards that have been used in cameras from dierent manufacturers
and/or dierent styles of cameras unless a FullFormat on a PC is done to those cards.
note: If you used a poInt & shoot camera to view your pictures and videos on the SD
card, this may cause problems when reinserted back into your Jag. It is recommended to
do a FullFormat on a PC before it goes back in to the camera.
