INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD

Before you begin learning how to use your 

Prime L20 Trail Camera

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 latch on the right side of the 

Prime L20 Trail 

Camera

, you will see that the 

Prime L20 Trail Camera

 has a battery 

release button. Depress this button and a battery tray will drop out of 
the bottom of the camera. The battery tray will stop about ½ inch out 
of the device, this is a latch system to prevent the tray from dropping 
onto the ground. Just apply a little pressure when pulling and the tray 
will release. The battery tray has six battery slots. Install a full set of 6 
batteries. 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.

You can also connect an 
optional Solar Panel accessory (model# 119986C 
–please visit www.bushnell.com for more information) 
to the “DC In” jack at the bottom of the 

Prime L20 

Trail Camera

 (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 

Prime L20 Trail Camera

 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.
