CONFIGURING AND TESTING FEEDER

INSTALL BATTERY: Open Kit by removing wingnut located on the bottom and remove outer case. Install a 6-Volt Alkaline (ex. Energizer™) or Moultrie rechargeable battery (MFHP12406) by attaching the Red Alligator Clip to the positive terminal (+) and the Black Alligator Clip to the negative (-) terminal, making sure that the leads do not touch. Note: Make sure the rubber protectors are around the gator clips after installation onto the battery. This helps protect the gator clips from touching which can cause damage. We recommend using our Moultrie MFHP12406 6V 5ah battery.
