with an external backpack power
port. This port can be used with an
optional PBX-Nano battery back-
pack that holds 4 AA batteries.

move the clip from one end of the
strap so you can slide the strap
through the slots located on the back
of the camera. Once the camera is at-
tached place the clip back on to the
strap. Then, wrap the strap around
the tree and clip the two ends to-
gether. Pull the excess material so
that the camera is straped tightly to
the tree.

Important
Once you connect the camera to your computer via the USB cable/ports, the
camera will then draw power from the computer. When completing the viewing,
transferring, copying or deletion of images, please make sure that you DISCON-
NECT THE USB CABLE FROM BOTH THE CAMERA AND THE COMPUTER, as you
will not be able to power the camera OFF until you do so.
The directions as contained herein assume that you are using a Microsoft operat-
ing system and not Linux or a Mac-based operating system. Even said, there may
be slight variations in your process based on the specific version of the operation
system that you are using as well as the predefined user preference for each
computer. The below listed steps are to serve as a guideline and may have to be
slightly modified based on the specific operating system and preference as on
your personal computer.
TIPS:
Recommended distance from target area is 25-30 feet for optimal imaging
quality.
To improve the quality of your images, try not to mount the unit facing the rising
or the setting sun in order to avoid direct sunlight into the camera lens.
If mounting to a feeder unit or dusty environment, be sure to clean the cam-
era lens cover, incandescent flash cover, and the PIR sensor cover on a regular
basis.
Periodically check the mounting of the camera to insure it is not loose.
Make sure that you securely latch the door closed each and every time you use
the unit, as the moisture seal will not be activated unless closed properly.
Check batteries frequently to insure no corrosive build-up, as this may cause
harm to the camera.
Retrieving Images (SD Card in Camera)
Method 1: Leave SD card in camera
A. First, make sure that the camera is pow-
ered OFF. Next, plug the USB cable into the
camera and then into the USB port on your
computer. Once this is complete (in this or-
der only), then power the camera ON.
B. Once complete, your computer may au-
tomatically launch “AutoPlay”, a window
recognizing a new Removable disk (the
camera).
C. If so, it should give you three selections:
1. Import pictures
2. View pictures
3. Open folder to view files
D. Select the method from the list provided
that best suits your requirements. Once a
selection is made, you can then view the im-
ages located on the SD Card and manipulate
them as needed.
E. If your computer does not automatically
launch the AutoPlay window recognizing the
Removable Disk (the camera), then you will
need to go to the “Start Menu” at the bottom
left of your screen and select “Computer”.
The summary view will then be illustrated
on the right hand side of the window where
the “Devices with Removable Storage” will
be listed. The computer will recognize the
camera as Removable Disk.
Please select Removable Disk from this
menu (or double click on the graphical icon).
F. This will then direct you into the SD Card
file folder. Images are in the MEDIA folder
while Flextime files are in the FLEX folder.
G. Once open, you will then see all of the
photo files that are located on the SD Card.
Select each image individually to view. The
default viewing browser for your computer
will then automatically launch.
H. Repeat for viewing all or other photos.
I. If you determine that you want to delete
the image, select the image by placing your
cursor on it and clicking your mouse only
once. Right click on your mouse and select
delete. This will delete the image perma-
nently, so be absolutely sure you want to do
this before selecting delete.
TIP: The software drivers necessary to
use and view the camera are automatically
downloaded to the computer when you con-
nect your camera to the computer via the
included USB cable.

Method 2: Remove SD card and use card
reader
A. First, remove the SD Card from the cam-
era unit itself by pressing on it to where it
automatically ejects.
B. Next, insert the SD card into your SD
card reader.
C. Once inserted into your computer it may
automatically launch “AutoPlay”, a window

the next steps (not limited to the following):
1. Picture Options
a. Import pictures
b. View pictures
c. Copy Disc
d. Transfer pictures
2. General Options
a. Open folder to view files
E. Select the method from the list provided
that best suits your requirements. If the se-
lection is made to “View pictures”, you can
then view the images located on the SD Card
and manipulate them as needed.
F. If your computer does not automatically
launch the AutoPlay window recognizing the
Removable Disk (the SD Card), then you will
need to go to the “Start Menu” at the bottom
left of your screen and select “Computer”.
The summary view will then be illustrated
on the right hand side of the window where
by the “Devices with Removable Storage”
will be listed. The computer will recognize
the reader as “Secure Digital Storage De-
vice”. Please select “Secure Digital Storage
Device” from this menu (or double click on
the graphical icon).
G. This will then direct you into the SD Card
file folder. Images are in the MEDIA folder
while Flextime files are in the FLEX folder.
H. Once open, you will then see all of the
photo files that are located on the SD Card.
Select each image individually to view. The
default viewing browser for your computer
will then automatically launch.
