Troubleshooting / Faq; Battery Life Is Shorter Than Expected; Camera Stops Taking Images Or Won’t Take Images - Bushnell Trophy Cam 119435 Instruction Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ

Battery life is shorter than expected

1. Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number of
images taken over time. Typically, the Trophy Cam will be able to
capture several thousand images before the batteries die.
2. Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium batteries.
Bushnell recommends using 8 Energizer
in all Trophy Cams to obtain maximum battery life.
3. Make sure that the power switch was turned to the "On" position
and that the camera was not left in "Setup" mode while in the field.
4. Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD card in
your camera. Bushnell recommends SanDisk
up to 16GB. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD cards
can sometimes reduce your Trophy Cam battery life.
Camera stops taking images or won't take images
1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the
camera will stop taking images.
2. Check the batteries to make sure that they are new alkaline or lithium
AA batteries. See note above about short battery life.
3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the "On" position and
not in the "Off" or "Setup" modes.
4. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your camera.
Bushnell recommends SanDisk
5. If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the
camera will not take images.
6. If you have used an SD card in another device before inserting it in
your Trophy Cam, you might want to try formatting the card using
the "Format" parameter in Setup mode (make sure you have backed
up any important files first, as formatting will erase all previous files).
In some cases, other devices may change the formatting of the SD
card so that it will not work properly with the Trophy Cam.
