To do this, remove the Circuit Board and carefully clean it with a soft cloth or
brush, being especially careful with the camera lens and electronics. Take out
any nesting material and throw it away, and wash out the box. With the box
open, leave it for a day or two to dry out, before refitting the Circuit Board, and
putting the box back in position.
The Battery Box will also benefit from an annual clean, and it will be worth using
a small brush to remove any insects and debris from the box, electronics and bat-
tery holders.

Mains Power Supply
The outside components of your system are designed to be used on battery power,
but if it is convenient, you may prefer to use mains power.
The mains power supply which is included is designed for interior use only. It is
intended to be plugged into an internal socket on a fused 13A electricity supply,
with the lead running outside to the Battery Box.
IT IS DANGEROUS TO FIT
IT OUTSIDE OR IN A DAMP ATMOSPHERE
. The cable (which operates at
low voltage) is safe to use outside. If you need to extend this cable, this can be
done with the “Mains to Battery Extension Cable”, product A35.
To use mains power instead of batteries, remove the batteries. Fit the PP3 con-
nector on the end of the cable from the mains power supply to the mating connec-
tor marked with a yellow sleeve. Inside the Battery Box
A set of 8 new size “D” alkaline batteries will power the camera on “STD” set-
ting for between 10 days and 7 months, depending on their capacity, activity in
the nest box and the transmission path. If you prefer to use rechargeable batteries
or solar or wind power to operate the nest box on batteries, these are available
from our comprehensive range of accessories.
