of the Trophy Cam HD, making sure that the polarity is correct. 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).
If both an external power source is connected and batteries are installed, the
Trophy Cam HD will be powered by the external power source.
When the batteries become weak, the low-battery indicator LED will glow blue,
indicating the batteries should be changed (pg 5, "Front View").
Inserting the SD Card
Your Trophy Cam HD has 32MB internal memory, which can hold only about 10
photos (@ 5MP resolution). This is handy for testing and getting familiar with the
camera, but you will no doubt want to leave the camera unattended for longer
than a day, so using an SD card is recommended. Insert the SD card (with the
camera's power switch in the OFF position) before beginning to operate the
camera. Don't insert or remove the SD card when the power switch is in the ON
position.
The Trophy Cam HD uses a standard SD (Secure Digital) memory card to
save photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .avi format). SD and SDHC (High
Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported. Before inserting
the SD card into the card slot after opening the camera's front cover, please
make sure that the write-protect switch on the side of the card is "off" (NOT in the
"Lock" position). The following describes how to insert and remove the SD card:
• Insert the SD card into the card slot with its
label side upwards (see above). A "click" sound
indicates that the card is installed successfully. If
the wrong side of the card is facing up, you will
not be able to insert it without force-there is only
one correct way to insert cards. If the SD card
is not installed correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon on
the LCD in SETUP mode (the SD card icon displayed after switching to SETUP
mode will have a "lock" symbol inside it in it if the card is locked). Formatting the
SD card by using the Trophy Cam HD's "Format" parameter before using
it for the first time is recommended, especially when a card has been used
in other devices (see "Changing Menu Parameter Settings", pg. 19, for
details).
