OFF MODE
The OFF mode is the "safe" mode when any actions must be taken, e.g.,
replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting the device. You will also
use OFF mode if you connect the camera to a computer's USB port later
to download your photos/videos. And of course, when you are storing or
not using the camera, you will switch it to OFF. Please note that even in the
OFF mode the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD still consumes power at a very
low level. Therefore, it's a good idea to take the batteries out of the battery
compartment if the camera will not be used for a long time.
ON MODE
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch
on the camera. When the power switch is moved to the top position, the
camera will enter into the ON (Live) mode. The motion indicator LED
(pg. 9, "Front View") will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows
time for you to close the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD's front cover, lock
it, and leave the monitored area. Once in the ON mode, no manual controls
are needed or possible (the control keys have no effect). The WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD will take photos or videos automatically (according to its
current parameter settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor's detection
of activity in the area it covers.
You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or
stop at the SETUP position first to change one or more settings, then move
the switch to ON after you have finished doing so.
SETUP MODE
In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the
WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD with the help of its built-in LCD. These
settings, found in the SETUP Menu, let you change the photo or video
resolution, interval between photos, switch the time imprint on, etc. Moving
the power switch to the SETUP position will turn on the LCD display, and
you will see an information screen that shows how many images have been
taken, the battery level, camera or video mode, etc (Fig. 3, next page).
NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to SETUP mode. It is possible
that the camera could lockup if it is switched from ON to SETUP mode. If this
occurs, simply move the switch to OFF and then push it up to SETUP again.
