To mount this camera, use a Python Cable Master lock to lock the camera to a tree, and use
the small brass Master lock to lock the access panel shut. Read the above info about placing
a camera. The below info is in regard to installing as well as checking cameras throughout
the season.
Unlock the small brass Master lock so that you can get into the access panel.
Open camera by unhooking the latches on the right side of the camera and swinging door
open.
Turn switch from 'ON' to 'SETUP,' in order to view pictures and battery life. This info will
be shown at the top of the screen. For a camera check, record the number of pictures
on your data sheet under "No. of Images Shown on Camera Display."
If batteries are at less than 50% full, turn camera switch to the 'OFF' position, remove
old batteries, and replace with 8 new AA batteries (make sure and note orientation of
positive/negative ends).
If you are checking the camera, MAKE SURE THE CAMERA SWITCH IS IN THE OFF
POSITION AND REMOVE THE SD (SECURE DIGITAL) CARD. Place the card in a
case or Ziploc, CLEARLY LABEL IT ACCORDING TO WHICH CAMERA IT WAS IN,
and return it with your data sheet to Conservation NW either via mail or email if there aren't
too many photos.
Install the SD card you brought that is clean of images – MAKE SURE THE CAMERA IS
STILL OFF - THE SD CARD SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED OR INSERTED
WHEN THE CAMERA IS OFF. Orient the SD card face up so that the side with the cut
corner is facing away from you and slide it in firmly. It will click into place.
Turn camera on and check the time and date by clicking the menu button, and using
the arrow button to scroll right or left until you reach 'Set Clock'. If needed, reset or
set the date and time.

menus and the "OK" button to select various menus and options.
