Page 6: Introduction
INTRODUCTION About the TROPHY CAM The Bushnell Trophy Cam is a digital scouting camera.

4 or 8, be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or “flat” end against the long spring of each battery slot).

Note: The power connector is a 4.0x1.7mm coaxial DC power plug with positive “tip” (inside pin) polarity (Radio Shack P/N 274-1532 or equivalent).

especially when a card has been used in other devices (see “Changing Menu Parameter Settings” for details). • To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not try to pull it out without pushing in first).

Page 11: On Mode
in the OFF mode the Trophy Cam still consumes power at a very low level. Therefore, it’s a good idea to take the batteries out of the battery compartment if the camera will not be used for a long time. ON Mode Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch on the camera. -

Page 13: Using The Setup Menu To Change Settings
USING THE SETUP MENU TO CHANGE SETTINGS The main purpose of the SETUP mode is to allow you to change the settings of the camera’s parameters (12-13 different ones are available) so your Trophy Cam operates exactly the way you want it to. You will do this by entering the SETUP Menu and pressing the keys below the LCD display, which will show you each parameter and its setting. -

Page 22: Mounting And Positioning The Trophy Cam
MOUNTING AND POSITIONING the TROPHY CAM Mounting After you’ve set up the camera’s parameters to your personal preferences at home or in your truck, you’re ready to take it outside and slide the power switch to “ON”. When setting up the Trophy Cam for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. -

Page 25: Deleting Photos Or Videos
Connecting an external video monitor to review images Cable from “TV Out” Deleting Photos/ Video Files In SETUP mode, it is possible to delete the photo or video files-just the most recent one, or all of them. This can be useful if an SD card is full but doesn’t have any images you want to keep, and you don’t want to remove the card and insert a new one- or if you trigger a photo during testing that you know you won’t need. -
Page 26: Reviewing Images Directly From The Sd Card
Reviewing Images Directly From the SD Card This is the most popular method of viewing images. Since unmounting the camera and taking it to your computer isn’t very convenient, you may find it easier to just take the card out. By removing the SD card (swapping it for a new empty card if you like) and taking it to your home or campsite to view the images by using an SD card “reader”... -
Page 27: Downloading The Photos/Videos
DOWNLOADING the PHOTOS/VIDEOS To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac, first make sure the Trophy Cam power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the supplied cable to the camera’s USB port, then directly to a main USB port on your computer-do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered “hubs”. -
Page 28: Troubleshooting/Faqs
Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD card in your camera. Bushnell recommends SanDisk® brand SD Cards up to 32GB. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD cards can sometimes reduce your Trophy Cam battery life. - Page 29 Make sure that you have installed at least 4 batteries (the required minimum #) in the battery compartment, starting at the top, filling battery spaces 1-4 with no “gaps”. Bushnell recommends using 8 Energizer® Lithium AA batteries in all Trophy Cams. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing proper polarity.
