3.1 Loading Batteries (continued)
four batteries and can supply power for the BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM
alone (with shorter battery life time). The device has eight battery slots,
as shown in Fig. 4. Slot 1 ,2, 3 and 4 form one group, while slots 5, 6, 7 and
8 form the other group.
Rechargeable batteries can also be used, but they might have shorter life
span due to their lower efficiency with the time and low temperature.
Hence, it is recommended to use high performance lithium or alkaline
AA batteries or a lead-acid external cell with 6V output (for extended use
in winter).
3.2 Connection of External Power
Optionally you can connect an external 6V DC power source to the
BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM if no batteries are available. It is recommended
to use a power source with a current capability bigger than 1000mA.
However, under sufficient daylight at day the BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM
can work with much less current (>400mA). Please use the power source
cable (Optional) to connect the external DC power source and insert
it into the power jack of the BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM, be sure that the
polarity is correct.
If both external power source and batteries are connected, the BUSHNELL
TROPHY CAM will be powered by the external power source.
For weak batteries the low-battery indication (blue LED) will light,
indicating the batteries should be changed.
3.3 Inserting the SD Card
Next, insert an SD-card into the card slot. Please refer to 1.4 for detailed
instructions.
3.4 Powering on and Entering into the ON (Live) Mode
Now you can switch on the power after inserted the SD-card. The
BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM has three basic operation modes:
•
OFF mode: Power switch at OFF position.
•
ON mode: Power switch at ON position and the LCD screen is off.
•
SETUP mode: Power switch at SETUP position and the LCD screen
is on.
