For Maximum Performance and Without Leaking Batteries:

• Use new batteries.
• Use ONLY alkaline or ONLY lithium batteries.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable AA batteries, as their lower voltage may cause operating difficulties.

Installing an SD Card

The camera is designed to operate with an SD card between 2 and 128 GB of memory.

Insert an SD Card

• Make sure the camera is turned OFF.
• Locate the SD card slot on the bottom right corner of the camera.
• Insert an SD card (up to 128 GB) into the slot, respecting the indicated direction.
• The card is inserted correctly when a click is heard.

Format Your SD Card

Before inserting the SD card into your camera, it must be formatted to ensure proper operations. Refer to the 'Other Options' section on page 8 for formatting instructions.

Other Options

• Name: Allows you to give a name to your camera.
• About: Indicates the software version.

Operation

Once the setup is complete, turn the switch from SETUP to ON.

You may also switch from SETUP to OFF and turn the device ON later.

Red Light on the Front of the Camera

When the switch is in the SETUP position, the red light will flash to confirm a motion detection once you have adjusted your settings.

When you move the switch to the ON position, the red light at the front of the camera will flash for 30 seconds to allow you to move out of the camera's field of view.

When the light turns off, the camera is ready for use.

Installation

Recommended Height of Installation:

The camera must be installed at the height of the center line of the animal's body.

Ideal Setup for High-Quality Images and Videos:

The target animal should be 7.5 meters from the camera to get a better line of sight.

To produce brighter photos at night, there should be items reflecting the camera's flash in the background.

Please note that the camera should never be directly pointed at the sun to avoid back lighting and faulty detections.

[FCC Compliance] This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device must not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Disposal

ONLY USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.

If, one day, your camera has been used so intensively that it has to be replaced, or if you no longer have any use for it, you are obliged to dispose of it at a recycling center.

Information on return points for your electrical appliance can be obtained from your local waste disposal company or from your local administrative offices.

Electrical appliances not only contain valuable recyclable raw materials, but also substances which, if disposed of improperly, can affect public health and the environment. Help ensure that valuable raw materials are recycled by returning your old appliance to a central collection point.

The WEEE ([WEEE Symbol for Recycling]) symbol represents the obligation of the labeled camera to be sent to a separate center for the proper recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
