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 (display indicates “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 Power/Mode Switch is in the
ON
position and not set to
OFF
or
AIM
.
4. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in
your camera. Tasco recommends SanDisk
®
SD Cards up
to 32GB.
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 Tasco Trail Camera, you might want
to try formatting the card using the “Format” option in
Setup Mode
(pg. 8).
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 Tasco Trail Camera.
Camera won’t power up
1. Make sure that you have installed all batteries in the
battery compartment, filling all battery spaces with no
“gaps”.
Note-the camera may be operated with only 4
batteries if necessary, but they will need to be changed
more frequently.
2. Tasco recommends using a full set of 8 Energizer
®
Lithium AA batteries.
3. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly,
observing proper polarity. Always place the negative (flat)
end of each battery in contact with the spring side of its
slot inside the camera.
4. After moving the switch from “OFF” to “AIM” or “ON”,
make sure that the switch is correctly in position to ensure
the proper mode (avoid positions “between” two modes).
5. Do not move the switch directly from “ON” to “AIM”-
always move the switch all the way down to “OFF” first,
then back up to “AIM”.
