fig-22

When mounting to a tree, first remove the clip from one end of the strap so you can slide the strap through the slots located on the back of the camera. Once the camera is attached, place the clip back on to the strap. Then, wrap the strap around the tree and clip the two ends together. Pull the excess material so that the camera is strapped tightly to the tree.

IMPORTANT TIPS

Recommended distance from target area is 25-30 feet for optimal imaging quality.
To improve the quality of your images, try not to mount the unit facing the rising or the setting sun in order to avoid direct sunlight into the camera lens.
If mounting to a feeder unit or dusty environment, be sure to clean the camera lens cover, incandescent flash cover, and the PIR sensor cover on a regular basis.
Periodically check the mounting of the camera to ensure it is not loose.
Make sure that you securely latch the door closed every time you use the camera, as the moisture seal will not be activated unless closed properly.
Check batteries frequently to ensure no corrosive build-up, as this may cause harm to the camera.
