Once activated, attach the antenna, install 12 new AA batteries, and insert a Class 10 SD card.

Step 3: Power On Camera

Press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately 5 seconds until LEDs illuminate. A 15-second delay will occur for SD card formatting. The camera will then connect to Moultrie Mobile, and LEDs will indicate status.

ℹ️ NOTE: Formatting your SD card is recommended but can be skipped by pressing the CONNECT/STATUS button.

Step 4: Format SD Card

❗ NOTE: This process will permanently erase all content on the SD card.

During the 15-second delay after powering on, press and hold the FORMAT SD button until the SD CARD LED blinks yellow. The LED will turn solid green upon successful completion.

Step 5: Capture a Test Image

Press and hold the CONNECT/STATUS button for at least 5 seconds. Status LEDs will remain lit during image transmission. Refresh the app or website to confirm image receipt.

Aim Mode

Use the built-in AIM MODE for camera positioning. Press and hold the FORMAT SD button and CONNECT/STATUS button simultaneously to activate. A red LED on the front will glow if movement is detected within the field of view. The camera will return to normal operation with inactivity.

Important

A light sequence should start after the 15-second delay and/or SD card format completion, indicating camera status and server connection. If any yellow or red lights appear, consult the chart in Section D6 for status identification.

04 Install Batteries

Open Camera Housing and Install 12 AA Batteries.

• Use only alkaline or lithium batteries. Moultrie alkaline or Energizer™ lithium batteries are recommended for optimum performance.
• Do not mix old and new batteries; replace all batteries simultaneously.
• Do not mix different brands or types (alkaline and lithium) of batteries.
• Remove batteries when the camera is not in use.
• DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
• Ensure batteries are inserted correctly into the battery compartment before powering on.

Note: Lithium batteries may initially report near full capacity, then quickly drop, indicating low voltage. This is expected behavior due to lithium battery properties.

Note: Internal batteries are required when using an external battery source.

05 Install SD Card & Formatting

Open Camera Housing and Locate SD Card Slot.

Locate the SD card slot on the side of the camera and insert the SD card. Format the SD card in the camera for proper operation. Refer to Step 4 in the Quick Start Guide (D2) for formatting instructions.

Important SD Card Information

• Use a 32GB or smaller Class 10 SD card.
• Do NOT use micro SD cards, SDXC, or cards designated as "turbo", "ultra", or "super speed", as their required speed may cause camera instability.
• It is recommended to have one dedicated SD card per camera.
• Avoid swapping SD cards between cameras or other devices.
• Always format your SD card in the camera before each use.

Format SD Card

Power the camera on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for about 5 seconds until LEDs illuminate. Follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the FORMAT SD CARD button until the SD CARD LED blinks yellow.
2. Once formatted, the SD CARD LED will turn solid green, indicating success.
3. If the SD card LED turns solid red, the card was not formatted. Repeat the process or try a different card until the LED is solid green.

ℹ️ NOTE: You must format the SD card each time a new card is inserted using the above steps.

Format SD Card Via App/Website

After initial setup, you can format your SD card through the Moultrie Mobile app or website under 'Camera Settings'. The card will format the next time the camera checks in with Moultrie Mobile.

06 LED Color Definitions and Solutions

LED Color Indicators

• The BATTERY and SD CARD LEDs indicate status. Green BATTERY LED means full power; green SD CARD LED means the card is good. LEDs can also be yellow or red.
• SIGNAL LED flashes yellow while acquiring signal, turns solid green for good signal, yellow for okay signal, and red for bad signal.
• SERVER LED flashes yellow while connecting to Moultrie Mobile and turns solid green once connected. This may take time.

ℹ️ NOTE: Only LEDs illuminate. Switches or buttons appearing lit are due to illumination from surrounding LEDs.

ℹ️ NOTE: To check the status of the SIGNAL, BATTERY, SD CARD, or SERVER, briefly press the CONNECT/STATUS button. The camera will attempt connection and display LED status.

07 Transmit Test Image

Press and Hold Connect/Status Button for 5 Seconds.

• Status LEDs will illuminate to display status (refer to Section D6 for definitions).
• SIGNAL and SERVER LEDs flash yellow until connection is established, then indicate status.
• A test image is taken and successfully transmitted when the server LED illuminates green and all LEDs turn off.

❗ IMPORTANT: Confirm receipt of the test picture by logging into your Moultrie Mobile account via the app or website.

Manually Transmit Images

You can transmit photos captured since the last connection by briefly pressing and releasing the CONNECT/STATUS button. All LEDs will turn off once transmission is complete.

ℹ️ NOTE: Upload frequency settings are not affected by manual image transmission.

08 Camera Settings

Change Settings

After successfully taking and transmitting a test image, update your camera settings via the website or app.

• Go to the 'Devices' tab on the Moultrie Mobile website or the 'Cameras' tab on the app.
• Select 'View Cameras' to see a list of your cameras. Choose the desired camera for updates.
• Select 'Camera Settings' (website) or 'Edit Settings' (app). Update settings and desired upload frequency, then press SAVE.

ℹ️ NOTE: Icons next to settings provide descriptions and tips when clicked.

ℹ️ NOTE: The camera can record video. When selected, a thumbnail image from the video is uploaded. The image will show a camera icon (app) or the word "Video" (website). Expand the image and select 'Request Video' to upload the full video on the camera's next connection.

❗ IMPORTANT: Settings are changed on the camera the next time it connects to Moultrie Mobile after being saved. To manually connect and update settings immediately, press the CONNECT/STATUS button.

Confirm camera status using the LED indicators before leaving the camera.

09 Mounting & Placement Tips

Thread the mounting strap through the slots on the back of the camera case. Mount the camera to a tree or pole approximately 3 feet from the ground. Adjust height as needed for uneven terrain.

For added security, use a Master Lock Python™ cable or a Moultrie Security Box. The camera also features 1/4"-20 inserts for use with Moultrie EZ Tree Mount or Camera Stake accessories. Visit MoultrieFeeders.com to view and purchase mounting accessories.

Tips for Best Photos

Face the camera North or South to avoid over-exposure from the sun. Clear brush away from the front of the camera to prevent false-movement triggers. When covering a game trail, face the camera looking down the trail rather than directly at it.

10 Troubleshooting Guide | Just in Case

10.1 - SD Cards

• SD cards can cause errors if they are old, corrupted, full, previously used by other cameras, too large, or are specialized high-speed cards.
• Use a new 4GB to 32GB Class 10 SD card. Do NOT use SDXC cards, Micro/Mini cards, Ultra Capacity, or High-Speed cards.
• Formatting a compatible SD card will usually correct and prevent SD card errors.

Formatting SD Card

Power the camera on and press and hold the Format SD button until the SD Card LED blinks yellow. Once formatted, the LED turns solid green. If the LED turns solid red, repeat the process or try a different card.

If formatting or replacing the SD card does not help, visit the support section of the Moultrie Mobile app or MoultrieMobile.com.

10.2 - Reducing False Triggers

• The camera is triggered by heat movement within the detection zone.
• Optimize trigger sensitivity (High, Medium, Low) based on location via the app or website.
• Avoid pointing the camera into the sun (East/West) as sunlight can create false triggers.
• Avoid placing the camera in open fields during summer; heat-related triggers decrease when temperatures drop.
• Do not place the camera on small trees that sway in the wind.
• Mount the camera 4+ feet off the ground and clear away nearby branches, brush, and tall grass, as vegetation warmed by the sun or blown by wind can cause false triggers.

Additional Support

For more troubleshooting resources, visit the SUPPORT section of the Moultrie Mobile app or MoultrieMobile.com.

10.3 - Server Connection

If the camera does not connect to Moultrie Mobile, try:

• Formatting or replacing the SD card.
• Moving the camera to an area with better cellular coverage.
• Verifying battery level.
• Checking the antenna for damage or proper attachment.

10.4 - No/Weak Cell Signal

Cellular providers may have "roaming agreements" with towers they do not own, which often do not allow devices like cellular trail cameras to benefit. Your phone might use 3G signal (even if it's a 4G phone), which the camera cannot operate on.

If your cellular signal is weak (Signal LED is yellow or red), relocate the camera to a place with a stronger signal.

10.5 - No New Image Notifications

• Check for app updates in the App Store or Google Play Store.
• Sign out and back into the app ('My Account' > 'Sign Out').
• For Android users: Clear app cache via Settings > Storage > Other Apps, then select Moultrie Mobile App.
• Ensure Push Notifications are enabled in the app ('My Account' > 'Notification Settings').
• On your phone: iPhone: Settings > Notifications > Moultrie Mobile > Allow Notifications. Android: Settings > Notifications > Moultrie Mobile.
• Force close the app.
• Uninstall and reinstall the app.
• Restart your phone.
