STEP 7 -
CHECKING CUDDEBACK
To field-check Cuddeback, remove the cover and
press
. A series of messages will be displayed.
Press until
[Images Saved]
is displayed
(
figure 21
). This is how many images are saved on
the card (or internal memory if you do not have a
card installed).
STEP 8 -
Viewing Images
There are 4 ways to view the images that
Cuddeback has taken.
1) Replace the Compact Flash card with a
different card. Take the original card home
and view the images on your computer or
other device.
2) Attach a computer to Cuddeback's USB port
(described later in this section).
3) You can view images in the field or at home
with a TV attached to Cuddeback (described
later in this section).
4) You can view images in the field with a
portable field viewer or camera (
figure 22
)
(see page 2 for details).
TIP -
When checking Cuddeback, the camera may acti-
vate and take a picture of you. You can cancel this
image by pressing (C) when the message [Picture!] is
on the display.

STEP 6 -
ATTACHING CUDDEBACK TO A TREE
For best image quality, install Cuddeback about
10 feet from the place animals are expected.
Attach Cuddeback to a suitable tree 3 to 4 feet
above the ground (
figure 18
).
There are four ways to attach Cuddeback to a tree.
1) Attach with the supplied Torx® screw
(stored on back of Cuddeback)(
figure 19
).
You will need a #25 Torx screwdriver (not
supplied) (
figure 20
).
2) Use a cord or bungee (not supplied) in con-
junction with the eyebolt (supplied) to
secure Cuddeback to a tree.
3) Use a tripod or other device (not supplied)
attached to the socket on the back of the
camera. The socket has standard 1/4-20
threads and is compatible with most
tripods.
4) Use Cuddeback BearSafe (see page 30
for details).
TIP -
To determine the detection area, you can enable
TEST MODE. Then walk slowly back and forth in front
of the camera. The red LED will illuminate when the
camera senses you. The camera will NOT trigger
when in TEST MODE.
Cuddeback can sense and record images at distances
of 50 feet or more. However, you will get the best
image quality if Cuddeback is set closer to the animals.

TIP -
We recommend using a
padlock (not included) to secure
the battery cover. This will assure
that nobody tampers with your
Cuddeback Digital Camera.
