INTRODUCTION

About the Prime L20 Trail Camera

The Bushnell Prime L20 Trail Camera is a digital scouting camera. It

can be triggered by any movement of game in a location, detected by

a highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, and then take

high quality pictures (up to 20MP still photos), or 720p HD video clips.

The Prime L20 Trail Camera consumes very little power (less than 0.08

mA) in a stand-by (surveillance) state. This means it can deliver up to

twelve months stand-by operation time when the device is powered

by six AA alkaline batteries. Once motion in the monitored area is

detected, the digital camera unit will be triggered at once (typically

less than half a second) and then automatically take images according

to previously programmed settings. The Prime L20 Trail Camera is

equipped with built-in infrared LEDs that function as a flash, so that it

delivers clear photos or videos (in black & white) even in the dark, and

it can take color photos or videos under sufficient daylight. The Prime

L20 Trail Camera is designed for outdoor use and is resistant against

water and snow.

Applications

The Prime L20 Trail Camera can be used as a trail camera for hunting

or scouting game. It is also suitable for surveillance usage.

PARTS AND CONTROLS

The Prime L20 Trail Camera provides the following connections for

external devices: USB port and SD card slot (Fig. 4).

A 3-way power switch is used to select the main operating modes:

OFF, AIM, and ON (Fig. 3).

A D-Pad interface with 5-way keys is primarily used in AIM mode

to select operational functions and parameters. As shown in Fig. 3,

these keys are: UP, DOWN, and OK. Two of the keys can also perform a

second function (shortcut operations in AIM mode) in addition to their

main function: The DOWN key can be used to set the camera to Photo

mode (still camera icon), and the UP key can set the camera to Video

mode (movie camera icon).

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD

Before you begin learning how to use your Prime L20 Trail Camera,

you will first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card.

Although that may only take you a minute, there are some important

notes about both batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so

please take the time to read the following directions and cautions:

Loading Batteries

After opening the latch on the right side of the Prime L20 Trail

Camera, you will see that the Prime L20 Trail Camera has a battery

release button. Depress this button and a battery tray will drop out of

the bottom of the camera. The battery tray will stop about ½ inch out

of the device, this is a latch system to prevent the tray from dropping

onto the ground. Just apply a little pressure when pulling and the tray

will release. The battery tray has six battery slots. Install a full set of 6

batteries. Be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative

or “flat” end against the long spring of each battery slot).

Bushnell recommends using a full set of new

lithium AA (Energizer® brand) or alkaline AA

batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries are not

recommended, as the lower

voltage they produce can cause

operational issues.

You can also connect an

optional Solar Panel accessory (model# 119986C

–please visit www.bushnell.com for more information)

to the “DC In” jack at the bottom of the Prime L20

Trail Camera (other external power supplies should

not be used, as the camera and/or display may not

function correctly). If the solar panel is connected

and AA batteries are installed, the Prime L20 Trail Camera will be

it provides adequate voltage (if not, the camera will switch to battery

power). The solar panel’s battery will power the camera at night.

Inserting the SD Card

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 Prime L20 Trail Camera uses a standard SD (Secure Digital)

memory card to save photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .avi

format). SD and SDHC (High Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32GB

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

below). 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 Prime L20 Trail Camera

“Format” parameter before using it for the first time is recommended,

especially when a card has been used in other devices (see “Changing

Menu Parameter Settings” for details).

• To take out the SD card, just gently push

in the card (do not try to pull it out without

pushing in first). The card is released from

the slot and ready to be removed when you

hear the click. Be sure the camera’s power is

switched OFF before inserting or removing

SD cards or batteries.

USING THE Prime L20 Trail Camera

Once you’ve prepared your Prime L20 Trail Camera by properly

installing batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside,

strap it to a tree, switch it on and leave-and you might get some great

photos that are exactly what you wanted.

However, we highly recommend that you first spend some additional

time indoors with this manual and your camera until you know a bit

more about what the 3-way switch and direction keys do. If nothing else,

you’ll probably want to at least set the date and time so the camera will

imprint them (or not-it’s your option) on your photos as they are taken,

learn how to set the camera to shoot video clips instead of still photos if

you like, and read some tips about mounting it on a tree.

THE OFF, ON, AND AIM MODES

The Prime L20 Trail Camera has three basic operational modes:

• OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position.

• ON mode: Power switch in the ON position (LCD screen is off.)

• AIM mode: Power switch at AIM position (LCD screen is on).

OFF MODE

The OFF mode is the “safe” mode when any actions must be taken, e.g.,

replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting the device. You will

also use OFF mode if you connect the camera to a computer’s USB

port later to download your photos/videos. And of course, when you are

storing or not using the camera, you will switch it to OFF. Please note

that even in the OFF mode the Prime L20 Trail Camera 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

Any time after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can

switch on the camera. When the power switch is moved to the far left

position, the camera will enter into the ON (Live) mode. The motion

indicator LED (Fig.1, “Front View”) will blink red for about 10 seconds.

This interval allows time for you to close the Prime L20 Trail Camera’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 effect). The Prime L20 Trail Camera 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 theAIM position first to change one or more settings, then move

the switch to ON after you have finished doing so.

AIM MODE

In the AIM mode you can check and change the settings of the Prime

Trail Camera with the help of its built-in LCD. 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 AIM 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.

NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to AIM mode. It is possible that

the camera could lockup if it is switched from ON to AIM mode. If this occurs,

simply move the switch to OFF and then push it up to AIM again.

SETUP MODE

Once batteries are installed and an SD card is inserted, you’re ready

to go into the Setup Mode to get the camera ready to use, with all

options set to your preferences. While this can be done in the field (no

computer or internet access is needed), most users will likely want to

setup the camera at home, in advance. There are only a few settings to

make, so the process is quick and easy. To start setting up your Prime

L20 Trail Camera:

1. To enter Setup Mode, move the Power Switch to the middle (AIM)

position. The display will come on and show the initial Setup screen.

Note: Don’t worry if you notice the STATUS LED flashing during the

Setup process-this is normal, as the AIM position of the switch has a

second function that will be covered later in this manual.

2. Press the OK key to begin. When the display flashes, you can use

the UP and DOWN keys to change the setting of the currently selected

option or item.

3. When you finish changing a setting (or leaving it set “as is”), press

OK to lock in the setting and move on to the next option/item. If there

is a setting that you don’t need or want to change from the default or

current setting, simply press OK to confirm and skip to the next item/

option. Once you go through the Setup Mode items and change a few

settings, you’ll quickly see how this works.

Setting Time and Date

After the Initial Setup screen, the next few display screens will allow

you to set the current time and date, so the time/date stamp imprinted

on all your photos and videos will be accurate when captured by the

camera. To change the Time and Date to be current, starting at the

default “12 : 00” screen:

1. Press OK and use UP/DOWN to set the hour (24 hr/military time

format). Press OK to confirm.

2. Use UP/DOWN to set the minute. Press OK to confirm.

3. Use UP/DOWN to set the month. Press OK to confirm.

4. Use UP/DOWN to set the date. Press OK to confirm.

5. Use UP/DOWN to set the year. Press OK to confirm and move on to

the next Setup item, Interval Time.

Setting Interval (Detection Delay) Time

The Interval or Detection Delay option lets you set the time between

captured images when an animal remains within the camera’s sensor

range after it is first detected and the camera is triggered. Use UP/

DOWN to select 5 sec (display shows “00:05”), 15 sec (default value),

30 sec, 1 min (display shows “01:00”) or 5 min. Press OK after setting.
