Important:

• P - Pacific region (UTC-8hr)
• M - Mountain region (UTC-7hr)
• C - Central region (UTC-6hr)
• E - Eastern region (UTC-5hr)

These settings adjust the time based on the atomic clock signal received.

Delay Settings

Slide the DELAY switch to select your delay setting. Delay is the time the camera waits before taking the next photo or video after a trigger. Options are 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or 1 minute.

Powering On and Initial Operation

To turn the camera on, move the MODE switch to Photo or Video mode.

When powered on, the LCD will initially display the factory default (incorrect) time. After 30 seconds, the LCD will turn off, and the camera will begin capturing images.

Note: The camera's test LED will blink on each photo/video trigger for the first 3 minutes of operation, then remain off.

Manual Settings - Time

While the camera is switched on, press the OK button to light up the LCD.

1. To change the time, press and release the OK navigation button to set the hour.
2. Press the + navigation button to cycle through options or increase the value.
3. When the hour is set, repeat steps 1 and 2 to set the minutes.

Manual Settings - Date

After setting the minutes for time, press the OK navigation button to change the date.

1. Press the OK navigation button to set the month.
2. Press the + navigation button to cycle through options or increase the value.

Atomic Clock Sync

This camera can automatically acquire the time and date from the WWVB atomic clock radio station.

To initiate a sync, press and hold the + button for 5 seconds while powering the camera on. The test LED will blink yellow, and the LCD will display "SYNC". Upon successful acquisition, the LED blinks green, and the camera briefly shows the acquired time before capturing images.

If the camera cannot acquire the time after 10 minutes, the LED will blink red, and the LCD will show the last saved time. The camera attempts to sync every 6 hours without interrupting image capture.

If the time is successfully acquired or manually set, the camera will attempt a daily sync at 1 AM to ensure accuracy. The test LED remains off during this sync to avoid alerting animals, but the screen will still display "SYNC".

Image Display Information

Images captured by the camera will display the following information:

• A: Time
• B: Date
• C: Moon Phase
• D: Photo Count
