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

During sync, the test LED will blink yellow and the LCD screen will display "SYNC". When the time is acquired, the test LED will blink green, and the camera will briefly display the acquired time before capturing photos/videos.

If the camera cannot acquire the time after 10 minutes, the LED will blink red, and the LCD will display the last saved time. The camera will attempt to sync every 6 hours but will continue capturing images during this time.

If the time is successfully acquired or manually set, the camera will attempt a sync at 1 AM daily. The test LED will not light up during this sync to avoid alerting animals, but the screen will still display "SYNC".

Pictures captured by the camera can display the following information:

• A - Time
• B - Date

Mounting

1. To mount to a tree, remove the clip from one end of the strap. Slide the strap through the slots on the back of the camera. Reattach the clip. Wrap the strap around the tree and clip the two ends together. Pull the excess material to ensure the camera is strapped tightly.

Important Tips:

• Recommended distance from target area is 25-30 feet for optimal imaging quality.
• To improve image quality, avoid mounting the unit facing the rising or setting sun to prevent direct sunlight into the camera lens.
• If mounting in a dusty environment or on a feeder, clean the camera lens cover, incandescent flash cover, and PIR sensor cover regularly.
• Periodically check the mounting to ensure it is not loose.
• Ensure the camera door is securely latched every time to activate the moisture seal.
• Check batteries frequently to prevent corrosive build-up, which may harm the camera.
