Insert a Micro SD card into the Micro SD card slot with contacts facing the front of
the camera.
Please note that the SD card can only be inserted in one direction. Make sure that
the write-protection “Lock” switch of the SD-card is in the “Write” position (not locked).
Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot with the contact area facing the bottom of
the camera.
Please note that the SIM card can only be inserted in one direction.
3.3 Power on and Enter the ON Mode
Before switching the camera on, please pay attention to the following:
1. Avoid temperature and motion disturbances that could be mistaken as animals or
humans such as trees that are exposed to direct sunlight for much of the day or any other
heat source. These may cause false triggers.
2. The camera should be placed about 1 meter (3 feet) from the ground. As an
example for deer, waist height is a good height. In general, one to two meters (3 – 6 feet)
in height is preferred.
Slide the power switch to the ON position to power on the camera.
After switching on the camera, the motion indication LED (red) will blink for about
15 seconds. The 15 second timer is a buffer before the camera starts to capture photos or
videos, e.g. for closing and locking the bottom cover, fixing the camera on a tree, or
walking away from the area being monitored.
When powered on, the camera will take pictures or videos automatically according
to default settings or custom settings. The camera has an audio recording function, so
sound will be embedded in recorded video clips.

3.5 Power Off
