INSERTED WHEN THE CAMERA IS OFF. Orient the CF-card face up so that the side
with the small lip is facing away from you and slide it in firmly.
Turn camera on and check the time and date which will come up on the LCD display. If
needed, reset or set the date and time. To do this, select "Change Setup" from the Main
Menu by hitting the "OK" button on Change Setup, and then select "Advanced" (by again
using the OK button) and using the arrow keys to scroll to "Date/Time".
Use the arrow keys and LCD screen to program or confirm other basic settings (listed
below). This camera model is quite easy to use – use the arrow keys scroll through the
menus and the "OK" button to select various menus and options.
Recommended Settings for Reconyx:
Set from "Trigger" Menu, which is under "Advanced" Menu:
Motion Sensor: ON
Sensitivity: HIGH (the camera may miss images of animals passing by quickly with any setting
lower than this)
Pics per Trigger: 3
Picture Interval: 1 SEC
Quiet Period: NO DELAY * These are the same settings as using the "QuickSet Trail" option
Recommended mounting height for this camera is about chest level and angled slightly downward
(using branches/wood blocks, etc…). Alternatively, it can be mounted a little higher and angled
down a little more. The camera has a 40 degree field of view.
To ensure proper aim, use the Walktest mode (from the main menu) and use the red light to
determine when the camera is detecting you in the field of view – the red light will flash when it
detects you. The camera will self-arm from Walktest mode after a 2 minute delay.
If your camera is already setup and mounted and the Walktest is not needed on this site visit, just
scroll to "Arm Camera" on the Main Menu once you have spread lure and are completed and select
"OK". The camera will arm in 10 seconds. This will give you time to put the cover back on, relock
the camera to the tree, and walk away.
