5. The “key” icon will flash next (f), press ENTER and enter any four

 

digit password of your choice (to keep using the default “0000”, just

 

press ENTER 4 times) by using the UP/DOWN buttons to change each

 

 

digit and using ENTER to step to the next digit (g). When finished, press ENTER if you want to return to the date/time setup menu, or press and

hold the MENU button at any time to exit all setup menus and return to g normal operation.

6.In normal operating mode, the display will only show the still photo or movie clip icon in the lower left corner, an SD card icon on the lower right, and one or more digits that indicate how many photo or movie files have been stored on the card. To test the camera operation, wave your hand in front of the lens and PIR (passive infrared/motion) detector, while looking at the LCD display. Every time an “event” is detected, the display will indicate “Plr”, “EVNT”, “rECd” in turn, and the event is recorded on the SD card as a new line in a text file, including the date and time of the event. As long as events are being detected, a new still photo or movie clip (as set in the menu) will be recorded every 30 seconds, indicated on the display by “Plr”, “SnAP”, then “SAVE”. Note: for movie clips, the display will stay on “SnAP” for the 15 sec duration of each movie.

7.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 flash 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 first photo is taken. The flash will fire automatically at night for still photos, but not movies, so they will be dark unless the area is well lit by the moon or another light source. Batteries typically last 30 days or more, depending on how often the Sentry is activated by events, how often the flash fires, ambient temperature, etc. The red LED lamp will stay on continually to indicate a low battery condition.

8. Pressing the Up/Down buttons during normal operation will switch the

 

display between showing # of photos stored (h) and # of events recorded

 

(i). To view your captured photos, make sure the power is off, and remove

h

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 any computer,

 

photo, or electronics dealer) connected via USB to your PC or Mac to view,

i

copy, or delete the photos (standard JPG files) and movies (AVI files) inside

the “DCIM/100MEDIA” folder on the card. Double click on an individual

 

file to see it, or open the files using the photo software of your choice. The

 

event log is the .TXT file, just double click to view with your default soft-

ware that opens standard plain text files. If you do not have a computer, or would like to more easily view your photos in the field, 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.
