9. Thread the strap through the slots on the back of the Sentry and attach the buckles, then strap it onto a suitable tree,
making sure the strap is tight and the camera is aimed at the area you wish to observe. The red LED lamp on the front
of the camera can help you determine how large an area is covered, as it will ash when an “event” is detected. Turn on
the camera (make sure a new or empty SD card has been inserted) and leave the area-there is a 60 second delay after
power on before the rst photo is taken. Batteries typically last 30 days or more, depending on how often the Sentry is
activated by events, how often the ash res, ambient temperature, etc. The red LED lamp will stay on continually to
indicate a low battery condition.
10. Pressing the Up/Down buttons during normal operation will switch the display between showing # of photos stored
(j) and # of events recorded (k). To view your captured photos, make sure the power is off, and remove the SD card by
pushing down lightly on the top edge of the card-it will pop up for removal. Insert it into an SD card reader (available
at most computer, photo, or electronics dealers) connected via USB to your PC or Mac to view, copy, or delete the
photos (standard JPG les) and movies (AVI les) inside the “DCIM/100MEDIA”
folder on the card. Double click on an individual le to see it, or open the les using
the photo software of your choice. The event log is the .TXT le, just double click
to view with your default software that opens standard plain text les. If you do
not have a computer, or would like to more easily view your photos in the eld, we
recommend the Bushnell Trail Scout Viewer. It is battery powered, and features 2
SD card slots, allowing you to easily copy photos to a larger capacity card, or delete
unwanted photos, as well as view your Sentry photos on its large color LCD display.
The Trail Scout Viewer also has a USB port, so it can function as a card reader for a
computer as well.

NOTE: (Night Vision models only): setting the date and time on your camera is imperative for
the unit to function properly, so that images captured in both day and night will have the best
possible appearance. If the date and time are not set up correctly, the automatic IR (infrared) lter
will remain in the “o” position until the date and time are set, causing daytime images to appear
somewhat pink.
