in the OFF mode the Trophy Cam 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. 7, “Front View”) will blink red for about 10 seconds. This
interval allows time for you to close the Trophy Cam’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 eect). The Trophy
Cam 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 rst to change one or more settings, then
move the switch to ON after you have nished doing so.
SETUP Mode
In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the Trophy
Cam with the help of its built-in LCD (or a monitor connected to the TV out
jack). 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
(see Fig. 3).
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.
