Bushnell Trophy Cam HD 119676 Instruction Manual page 8

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your 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 two latches on the right side of the
Trophy Cam HD, you will see that the Trophy Cam
HD has eight or twelve battery slots, depending on
your model. For maximum battery life, you should install
a full set of batteries. The Trophy Cam HD may also
be operated by just four batteries installed in the first
slots only (starting on the top or left-see photos).
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 they produce can cause operational
issues.
Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC power source (the
#119656C Accessory Solar Panel- please visit www.bushnell.com for
more information) to the "DC In" jack at the bottom of the Trophy Cam HD.
If both an external power source is connected and batteries are installed, the
Trophy Cam HD will be powered by the external power source, as long as
it provides adequate voltage (if not, the camera will switch to battery power).
When the batteries become weak, the low-battery indicator LED will glow
blue, indicating the batteries should be changed (pg 7, Front View).
