INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD, you
will first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that
may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both
batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to read
the following directions and cautions:
Loading Batteries
After opening the latch on the right side of the WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD, you will see that the WIRELESS Trophy
Cam HD has twelve battery slots. For maximum battery
life, you should install a full set of batteries. The WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD may also be operated by just four batteries
installed in the first slots only (starting on the left-see photo).
Battery life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but the camera
will operate normally. Whether you use 4 or a full set, be
sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative
or "flat" end against the long spring of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using a full set of new lithium
AA (Energizer brand) or alkaline AA batteries. NiMh
®
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended, as the lower
voltage of 1.2v they produce can cause operational issues.
When the camera's internal (AA) batteries become weak,
the low-battery indicator LED will glow blue, indicating the
camera's batteries should be changed (pg 9, Front View). You will also receive
an alert if battery levels drop via MMS or email when wireless is on.
Optionally, you can connect the #119656C Accessory Solar Panel (please
visit www.trophycam.eu/wireless for more information) to the "DC In" jack at
the bottom of the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD (other external power supplies
should not be used, as the camera and/or display may not function correctly).
If the solar panel is connected and AA batteries are installed, the WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD will be powered by the solar panel's rechargeable lith-ion
battery, as long as it provides adequate voltage (if not, the camera will switch
to battery power). The solar panel's battery will power the camera at night.
