Notes on batteries/rechargeable batteries
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries (pay attention to plus
and minus).
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by children or pets. If
they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged normal/rechargeable batteries in contact with the skin can cause acid burns; there-
fore, use suitable safety gloves.
Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are very chemically aggressive. Objects or surfaces
coming into contact with these liquids might be considerably damaged. Thus, store batteries/rechargeable
batteries in a suitable location.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into fire. There is a risk
of explosion!
• Conventional batteries must not be recharged. Risk of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries that
are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries; do not mix normal and rechargeable batteries with dif-
ferent charges (e.g. full and half-full batteries). Always use (rechargeable) batteries of the same type/
manufacturer to operate the wildlife camera.
When using rechargeable batteries, expect a shorter running time due to the lower operating
voltage (normal battery = 1.5 V/cell, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V/cell).
Moreover, rechargeable batteries are more temperature sensitive than normal batteries. There-
fore, rechargeable batteries have a very short operating time at low temperatures.
If you want to use rechargeable batteries despite these limitations, we recommend the use of
NiMH batteries with low self-discharge.

Inserting/replacing the batteries
The game camera has two battery compartments to prolong the battery life. You will find one battery com-
partment on the bottom of the wildlife camera (15) and a second one inside the mounting bracket (19).
The use of the battery compartment in the mounting bracket (19) is optional, i.e. the wildlife camera will also
work without these batteries, but will have only half the operating time.
Before you replace the batteries, the wildlife camera should be turned off using the sliding switch
(14) (switch position "OFF").
a) Inserting the batteries in the wildlife camera
• To insert the batteries into the battery compartment (15), first loosen the small locking clip, rotate it by
about 45° to the right clockwise.
• Then open the bottom flap (9).
There is a small arrow on the battery compartment cover (15). Press it until you can hear a click. The bat-
tery compartment cover can then be opened.
• Insert the four batteries with the correct polarity. There are "+" and "-" markings on the metal contact strip
on the inside of the battery compartment cover (15). Insert two AA/Mignon batteries into the left and the
right openings of the battery compartment, so that the corresponding battery pole points outwards to the
metal contact strip.
• Close the battery compartment cover (15) again, so that the latching sound can be heard and the battery
compartment cover is fixed. The LED (6) will light up briefly.
• Close the bottom flap (9) and lock it with the locking clip.
b) Inserting the batteries in the mounting bracket
• If the second battery compartment (19) is used in the mounting bracket, press the small retaining clip
towards the battery compartment cover, and tilt the battery compartment cover upwards by 90°.
• Insert four AA/Mignon batteries with the correct polarity. Look into the battery compartment for an illustra-
tion of the correct polarity.
• Push the battery compartment cover downwards once again and close the battery compartment, so that
the small retaining clip snaps in place.
Getting started and installation
• Remove any clear plastic covers of IR light unit, PIR sensors and LCD.
• Insert a memory card (SD or SDHC, max. 16GByte) into the corresponding slot (13), while paying attention
to the correct position. Check beforehand whether the write protection of the memory card is disabled.
Before you insert or replace a memory card, the wildlife camera should be turned off using the
sliding switch (14) (switch position "OFF").
• Switch the wildlife camera on (switch position "ON").
The sliding switch (14) should be brought to the "TEST" position for a functional test or for pro-
gramming the OSD menu. Then the live video image appears on the LC display. Please follow
the section "Operation of the OSD menu".
• Close the bottom flap (9) and lock it with the locking clip.
