IMPORTANT TIPS: 1.
When mounting to a tree, first
remove the clip from one end
of the strap so you can slide the
strap through the slots located
on the back of the camera. Once
the camera is attached place the
clip back on to the strap. Then,
wrap the strap around the tree
and clip the two ends together.
Pull the excess material so that
the camera is straped tightly to
the tree.
• Recommended distance from target area is
25-30 feet for optimal imaging quality.
• To improve the quality of your images,
try not to mount the unit facing the rising
or the setting sun in order to avoid direct
sunlight into the camera lens.
• If mounting to a feeder unit or dusty
environment, be sure to clean the camera
lens cover, incandescent flash cover, and
the PIR sensor cover on a regular basis.
• Periodically check the mounting of the
camera to insure it is not loose.
• Make sure that you securely latch the
door closed each and every time you use
the unit, as the moisture seal will not be
activated unless closed properly.
• Check batteries frequently to insure no
corrosive build-up, as this may cause harm
to the camera.
