START-UP THE iMETOS iSCOUT® COLOR TRAP
iMETOS iSCOUT® Color Trap is operational in all areas covered at least
by UMTS (3G) network (it will not work on 2G/GPRS services).
In GPRS, UTMS and LTE networks a SIM card from a provider is needed.
In CDMA network, you do not need a SIM card.
Note: Check that the PIN request for the SIM is disabled and that you
have data transfer service enabled.
To insert a SIM card:
4. Connect the red cable to the
positive battery terminal.
Every picture le has 10±2MB (depending in the complexity of the im-
age) so the data plan in your SIM should be calculated according the
following formula:
Monthly data plan = 12 (MB per picture) * number of cameras * shootings
per day * 30 (days per month) = 12*2*2*30 = 1,5 GB/month

INSTALLING YOUR iMETOS iSCOUT® Color Trap
The iMETOS iSCOUT® Color Trap has to be mounted on the pole. Make
sure that the pole is as vertical as possible. Control unit should be mount-
ed above the canopy facing south, for the solar panel to receive sufcient
sunlight to charge the battery.
The main unit with the sticky plate trap has to be positioned on the pole.
When a sticky plate is full of bugs, replace it with a new one.Take the metal
plate and peel off one side of the sticky plate. Align the sticky paper with
the edges of the metal plate and press it down.
iMETOS iSCOUT® Color Trap devices are already focused to the exact dis-
tance between the camera and the sticky plate inside the trap. Additional
focusing of your device is not necessary. After you insert a SIM card and
connect the battery, your device is ready to use.
3. Lock the hold-
er by sliding the
metal lock.
1. Slide the metal
part of the SIM card
holder to unlock it.
2. Place the SIM card into the
holder so the gold contacts on
the SIM face down on the board.
