• Formatting the SD card before using it for the first time
is recommended, especially when a card has been used
in other devices. This can be done using the camera’s
“Format” function (
pg. 8, “SD Card Format”
).
Make sure
you have backed up (saved to your computer) any
files you want to keep on a previously used card, as
formatting erases ALL files
.
• To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do
not try to pull it out without pushing in first). The card is
released from the slot and ready to be removed when you
hear the click. Be sure the camera’s power is switched
OFF
before removing or inserting SD cards.
SETUP MODE
Once batteries are installed and an SD card is inserted, you’re
ready to go into the Setup Mode to get the camera ready to use,
with all options set to your preferences. While this can be done
in the field (no computer or internet access is needed), most
users will likely want to setup the camera at home, in advance.
There are only a few settings to make, so the process is quick
and easy. To start setting up your Tasco Trail Camera:
1. To enter Setup Mode, move the Power Switch to the
middle (
AIM
) position
(Fig. 1)
. The display will come on
and show the initial Setup screen
(Fig. 5)
.
Note
: Don’t
worry if you notice the
STATUS LED
flashing during the
Setup process-this is normal, as the
AIM
position of the
switch has a second function that will be covered later in
this manual.
2. Press the
OK
key to begin. When the display flashes, you
can use the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to change the setting of
the currently selected option or item.
3. When you finish changing a setting (or leaving it set “as
is”), press
OK
to lock in the setting and move on to the
next option/item. If there is a setting that you don’t need or
want to change from the default or current setting, simply
press
OK
to confirm and skip to the next item/option.
Once you go through the Setup Mode items and change
a few settings, you’ll quickly see how this works.
