ENGLISH
To ensure maximum performance of the camera and prevent battery
leakage, we recommend using new batteries. Use ONLY Lithium
batteries or ONLY Alkaline batteries. Rechargeable [AA] batteries are not
recommended as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational
issues.
To get the best possible results and maximum battery life, we
recommend the use of an external 12V source.
INSERTING A MEMORY CARD
Always ensure that the camera is turned off before inserting a memory
card. Insert a MICRO SD memory card (up to 32 GB capacity) into the
MICRO SD card slot with the label side facing upwards. The card is
inserted correctly when a click is heard.
We recommend formatting your MICRO SD card if it was previously in another
electronic device.

We recommend formatting your MICRO SD card if it was used in another electronic
device.
• Turn on the camera (ON button);
- Use the OFF/ON switch to turn on the camera;
• The green “status” light ashes – searching for a signal;
- The signal search can take a few minutes;
• Light “status”: One of the following 3 colors will light up continuously:
- Red: insufcient signal;
- Orange: acceptable signal;
- Green: optimal signal;
• When the top right light ashes red, 30 seconds remain before the
photo mode is turned on;
• The camera is ready for use when all the lights turn off;
• If the light is red during step 3, you should:
- Turn your camera off and then back on;
- Retry while pointing the antenna at different angles;
- Move the camera.
*Using an amplied antenna (#CA-01, not included) could improve
signal capture.

CAMERA INSTALLATION

Recommended installation height
The camera should be installed at the same height as the animal’s mid-
body.
Ideal installation for quality images
The targeted animal should be 7.5 m away from the camera for a better
eld of view.
To get brighter pictures at night, you should have elements in the
background to reect back the camera’s ash.
Please note that the camera should not be placed directly facing the sun
to avoid backlighting and false detection.
