INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your Trophy Cam HD, you will first
need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that may
only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both batteries
and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to read the
following directions and cautions:
Loading Batteries
After opening the two latches on the right side of the
Trophy Cam HD, you will see that the Trophy Cam
HD has eight or twelve battery slots, depending on
your model. For maximum battery life, you should install
a full set of batteries. The Trophy Cam HD may also
be operated by just four batteries installed in the first
slots only (starting on the top or left-see photos).
Battery life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but the
camera will operate normally. Whether you use 4 or
a full set, be sure to insert each battery with correct
polarity (negative or “flat” end against the long spring
of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using a full set of new lithium
AA (Energizer
®
brand) or alkaline AA batteries. NiMh
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended, as the
lower voltage they produce can cause operational
issues.
Optionally, you can connect the #119656C Accessory Solar Panel (please
visit www.bushnell.com for more information) to the “DC In” jack at the
bottom of the Trophy Cam HD (other external power supplies should not
be used, as the camera and/or display may not function correctly). If the
solar panel is connected and AA batteries are installed, the Trophy Cam HD
will be powered by the solar panel's rechargeable lith-ion battery, as long as
it provides adequate voltage (if not, the camera will switch to battery power).
The solar panel's battery will power the camera at night.
When the batteries become weak (or a device with insufficient power is
connected to DC In), the low-battery indicator LED will glow blue, indicating
the batteries should be changed (pg 6, Front View).
