QUICK GUIDE: BUSHNELL TRAIL SENTRY (Standard and Night Vision Models)6. (Night Vision models only) After selecting still photo or movie clip mode, press ENTER. The “Sun” icon will blink (f). Press
ENTER again and use the UP or DOWN buttons to set the hour-this is the time the camera will consider to be the start of the “Day”.
During the Day, normal color photos/videos will be taken. If the day becomes cloudy, the regular ash will re. Next, press ENTER
and the “Star&Moon” icon will blink. Press ENTER and set the hour for the start of “Night”. During the Night, photos and videos
will be taken using the invisible infrared LED lamp array to light the scene. This allows you to take night photos without startling
animals. Next, press ENTER.
7. The “key” icon will blink next, 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. When
nished, 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 normal operation.
8. 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 les 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 le, 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.
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. 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. . Alkaline batteries typically
last 30 days or more, depending on how often the Sentry is activated, how often the ash res, ambient temperature, etc. (Using
rechargeable NiMh batteries and the optional solar panel with the Night Vison models will typically provide ≥ 6 months of life)
10. Pressing the Up/Down buttons during normal operation will switch the display between showing # of photos stored and # of
events recorded. To look at 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. Use an SD card reader with any PC or Mac (or the Bushnell Trail Scout
Viewer) 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 with the photo software of your choice. The event log is the
.TXT le, just double click to open and view with your default software for standard plain text les.
