Battery life is shorter than expected

1. 

Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number 

of images taken over time. 

2. 

Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium 

batteries. 

Simmons recommends using 8 Energizer® Lithium 

AA batteries in this Trail Cam to obtain maximum battery life.

3. 

Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD 

card in your camera. 

Simmons recommends SanDisk® brand SD 

Cards up to 16GB

. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD 

cards can sometimes reduce your trail cam  battery life.

Camera stops taking images or won’t take images

1. 

Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the 

camera will stop taking images.

2. 

Check the batteries to make sure that they are new alkaline or 

lithium AA batteries. 

See note above about short battery life.

3. 

Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “ON” position 

and not in the “OFF” position.

4. 

Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your 

camera. 

Simmons recommends SanDisk® SD Cards up to 16GB

5. 

If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the 

camera will not take images.

6. 

If you have used an SD card in another device before inserting it 

in your trail cam , you might want to try formatting the card on 

your computer (make sure you have backed up any important 

files first, as formatting will erase all previous files). In some cases, 

other devices may change the formatting of the SD card so that it 

will not work properly with the Trail Cam.

Camera won’t power up

1. 

Make sure that you have installed at least 4 batteries in the battery 

compartment. 

Simmons recommends using 8 Energizer® 

Lithium AA batteries in this

 

Trail Cam

.

2. 

Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing 

proper polarity. Always place the negative (flat) end of each
