INSTALLING THE BATTERIES and SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your Trophy Cam, 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 two latches on the right side
of the Trophy Cam, you will see that the Trophy
Cam has eight battery slots. Starting at the top
of the battery compartment, slots 1, 2, 3 and 4
form one group, while slots 5, 6, 7 and 8 form the
other group, each providing 6 volts in parallel.
For maximum battery life, you should install a
full set of eight batteries. The Trophy Cam may
also be operated by just four batteries installed
in the top group only (see right), starting at slot
1. Battery life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but
the camera will operate normally. Whether you
use 4 or 8, be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or
"flat" end against the long spring of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using eight new lithium AA (Energizer® brand) or
alkaline AA batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries are not recommended,
as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational issues. It is also
possible to use a lead-acid external battery cell with 6V output or suitable AC
adapter-see below for more details.
Using an External Power Source (optional, user provided)
Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC power source to the "DC In"
jack at the bottom of the Trophy Cam. It is recommended to use a power
source with a current output greater than 1000mA. However, during
bright daytime operation when no flash is required, the Trophy Cam
can function with much less current (>400mA). Please use a compatible
power source cable (not provided) to connect the external DC power
