INSERTION OF BATTERIES

Remove the battery compartment cover and insert four 1.5V AA batteries into the battery compartment. When inserting, make sure to observe the correct polarity, which is marked on the bottom of the battery compartment. Replace the cover.
When replacing, first remove the dead batteries and then insert the new ones.
Note
Do not insert a dead battery and a new battery at the same time or use different types of batteries at the same time. If you will not be using the photo trap for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage in the event of an electrolyte leak.
Warning
Do not short-circuit or otherwise damage the battery. Never throw the battery into a fire. Discharge the battery and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Do not dispose of batteries in mixed waste.

INSERTING AN SD CARD

Insert the SD card into the photo trap before turning it on. Insert the SD card into the slot. When inserting, make sure to insert the card correctly. The illustration next to the slot shows how to insert the card correctly. If the SD card is not inserted correctly, an “X” will appear in the upper corner of the display.
Do not insert or remove the SD card while the photo trap is in operation.

SELECTION OF THE INSTALLATION LOCATION OF THE PHOTO TRAP
Verify that the photo trap is effectively recording the selected area. Set the switch to the “SETUP” position. In the selected area, try different distances and angles so that you can move around the area around the photo trap repeatedly. The LED lights will flash to indicate that you are within the viewing range. Once the LED lights stop flashing, you are out of the monitored range.
This testing will help you determine the best place to install the photo trap. The height from the ground depends on the size of the game you want to record. The recommended height from the ground is between 90 and 180 cm (but it is up to you which height you choose). Make sure that the photo trap is not interfered with by any radio equipment, is not in direct sunlight, and is not obstructed by any branches or bushes.

OPERATION OF THE PHOTO TRAP

Turn the switch to the “ON” position. After 5 seconds, the display will turn off and the photo trap will switch to standby mode. As soon as an animal enters the monitored area, the sensor detects it, the photo trap activates, and automatically starts taking pictures or recording. When the animal leaves the monitored area, the photo trap automatically switches off and enters standby mode.

NIGHT MODE

If the photo trap is activated at night, the infrared light is automatically switched on to illuminate an area of 3-20 meters. If the animal is too close to the photo trap, the photo or footage will be overexposed.

VIDEO AND DATA TRANSMISSION

Connecting to TV
Play the video footage on a connected TV.
Switch on the TV and connect the photo trap to the TV via the AV cable. Once connected, the display of the photo trap will switch to power saving mode and the files can be played on the TV display.

When connected to a PC, the photo trap appears as an external drive from which you can run videos/photos or download them to your PC (directory “DCIM/100MEDIA”).

Note
Do not disconnect the cable or insert/remove the SD card during data transfer. Otherwise, there is a risk of data loss.
