cable (not provided) to connect the external DC power source with the power
input jack of the Trophy Cam, making sure that the polarity is correct. Note:
The power connector is a 4.0x1.7mm coaxial DC power plug with positive
“tip” (inside pin) polarity (Radio Shack P/N 274-1532 or equivalent).
If both an external power source is connected and batteries are installed, the
Trophy Cam will be powered by the external power source.
When the batteries become weak, the low-battery indicator LED will glow
blue, indicating the batteries should be changed (pg 6, “Front View”).
Inserting the SD Card
The Trophy Cams have 32MB internal memory, which can hold only about
20 photos (@ 5MP resolution). This is handy for testing and getting familiar
with the camera, but you will no doubt want to leave the camera unattended
for longer than a day, so using an SD card is recommended. Insert the SD
card (with the camera’s power switch in the OFF position) before beginning
to operate the camera. Don’t insert or remove the SD card when the power
switch is in the ON position.
The Trophy Cam uses a standard SD (Secure Digital) memory card to save
photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .asf format). SD and SDHC (High
Capacity) cards up to a maximum 16GB capacity are supported. Before
inserting the SD card into the card slot after opening the camera’s front
cover, please make sure that the write-protect
switch on the side of the card is “off” (NOT in the
“Lock” position). The following describes how to
insert and remove the SD card:
• Insert the SD card into the card slot with its
label side upwards (see above). A “click” sound
indicates that the card is installed successfully. If the wrong side of the
card is facing up, you will not be able to insert it without force-there is only
one correct way to insert cards. If the SD card is not installed correctly,
the device will not display an SD card icon on the LCD in SETUP mode
(the SD card icon displayed after switching to SETUP mode will have a “lock”
symbol inside it in it if the card is locked). Formatting the SD card by using
the Trophy Cam’s “Format” parameter before using it for the first time is
recommended, especially when a card has been used in other devices
