ENGLISH INTRODUCTION About the Trophy Cam The Bushnell Trophy Cam is a digital scouting camera. It can be triggered by any movement of game in a location, detected by a highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, and then take high quality pictures (up to 8MP still photos), or video clips. The Trophy Cam consumes very little power (less than 300μA) in a stand- by (surveillance) state. This means it can deliver up to six months stand-by operation time when the device is powered by

The RIGHT key also serves as the manual shutter (“SHOT”) button of the camera and the OK key switches the camera to the Playback (“REPLAY”) mode. These secondary functions are indicated by icons or text above the key as shown in Fig. 2. FRONT VIEW LED IR Flash Motion/ Low Battery Indicator Lens Lock Hole USB Port TV Out PI

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

cable (not provided) to connect the external DC power source with the power input jack of the Trophy Cam, 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 will be powered by the external power source. When the batteries become weak, the low-battery indicator LED wil

(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). The card is released from the slot and ready to be removed when you hear the click. WARNING Be sure the camera’s power is switched OFF before inserting or removing SD cards or batteries.

use OFF mode if you connect the camera to a computer’s USB port later to download your photos/videos. And of course, when you are storing or not using the camera, you will switch it to OFF. Please note that even 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 switc
