Step 4 – Attaching Attack IR to a Tree
1) We recommend you first try your Attack IR at home. In this
case, set Attack IR on a table instead of mounting it to a tree.
2) For optimum detection of deer-sized animals we recommend
mounting Attack IR about 30 to 36 inches off the ground
(this is about waist high to slightly higher).
3) For best image quality, install Attack IR about 10 to 15 feet
from where animals are expected. Attack IR will detect
animals at distances from directly in front of the camera to
about 50 feet. Note that detection distance varies greatly with
air temperature, animal size, and the speed the animal is moving.
4) Attack IR features our new Genius Mounting System. This
system allows you to attach the bracket to a tree and then
slide Attack IR on and off the bracket as needed. Use the
included strap to attach the tree bracket. You can also use
screws (not supplied) to attach the bracket to a tree.
5) Once the tree bracket is attached to the tree, make sure
both thumb screws on the back of Attack IR are tightened
completely. Then slide Attack IR onto the bracket.
6) It is best to remove any vegetation and obstructions from
Attack IR’s field-of-view that may interfere with Attack IR’s
sensor or camera.
7) Aim/align Attack IR to make sure it is pointed where you
expect the animals to be. Aim Attack IR level with the
ground to maximize detection range and performance.
You can use Attack IR’s test feature (explained next) to help
you determine the detection area.
8) Cuddeback has optional mounting methods available, such
as tilt-brackets, bear-resistant boxes, and mounting posts.
See your retailer or www.cuddeback.com for details.

Transfer to USB flash device:
If you use Attack IR without an
SD card, follow these steps to transfer the images from the internal
memory to a USB flash device.
1) If Attack IR is armed, press A to display the number of
mages in internal memory.
2) Insert your USB device into the USB connector.
3) Turn the rotary knob to the USB position. USB will be displayed.
4) Press B to initiate the transfer. Images saved in internal
memory will be copied to the USB device. As they are being
copied the
worm
will appear and the number of images
remaining will be displayed on the LCD.
5) When the count reaches 0 the transfer is complete and all
images on the internal memory are erased.
6) To stop the transfer before it has finished, press and hold B.
Battery Life and Battery Low Warning
Battery life in Attack IR will vary depending upon battery quality,
ambient temperature, the number of images taken, how long
Attack IR has been operating, and other factors. What you get may
be more or less than these numbers depending on the circumstances.
Attack IR – 50,000 images or 12 months, whichever comes first.
Guard Duty Mode – 80,000 images or about 1 month of use.
(Note – these numbers are based upon limited testing.
See www.cuddeback.com for the most recent test results.)
Replace Attack IR batteries when:
1) The
BLOW
icon appears on the LCD.
2) When the displayed battery level is
bt:10
or
bt:00
.
3) When Attack IR does not appear to operate correctly.
In some cases the batteries may be too low to turn
on the LCD or BLOW icon.
