Hint: If you are mounting camera to cover a trail, face the camera down the trail tilted at a slight downward angle.

Face the camera North or South to avoid over exposure from the sun.

Clear brush away from camera front to avoid false triggers from the wind.

Place near the tree where the camera is mounted. Place for best exposure to sun. To attach to a tripod secure the power panel to the tripod angled upward for best exposure. Plug the power panel to the Power Panel Plug. This will extend the life of your camera in the field.

Note: Leave internal batteries in the camera during use. The Camera Power Panel needs 4 hours of sunlight to fully power the camera.

Extend the field life of your Moultrie camera with a long-lasting, rechargeable external power source. Place near the tree where the camera is mounted. Plug the Battery Box to the Power Panel Plug. This will extend the life of your camera in the field.

You can download the pictures and videos with the aid of external devices. To download, use an external player or card reader that is supported by 12V DC or Mini USB Jack.

Remove the entire camera and transport to another location to download images. To connect the camera to a PC computer, turn the camera ON, press the MENU button once to change to SETUP Mode. Connect the USB cord (not included) between the USB out port and the PC computer. The computer will recognize the camera as a removable drive. The unit works with Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac OS X 10.1 or higher. Copy the images and videos from the camera onto your PC for further editing or printing. When the USB cable is disconnected, the camera will go back to SETUP mode.

Your camera supports external SD memory cards ONLY and will accept up to a 32GB card. Using large memory cards can slow the camera response. The camera cannot capture any photo or video without external memory. Please insert an SD memory card to operate camera.

Important: Always turn the unit off when inserting or removing an SD memory card to avoid damage and ensure that the camera properly updates the memory information.
