BATTERY INSTALLATION
Unlock the latches on the right side of the camera and open it up so you
see the control panel, display and battery compartment. Insert 4 alkaline
“C” batteries (119233C or 119225C) or 4 alkaline or lithium “AA” batteries
(119225C only, installed in the vertical slots at the back of the battery
compartment)) as shown on the previous page. Simmons recommends
Energizer® brand batteries. Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly,
as indicated inside the battery compartment. Incorrect voltage or polarity
(+/-) will damage the camera.
NOTE: Always turn the power OFF before installing or removing
batteries.
SD CARD INSTALLATION
Your Simmons digital trail cam has a memory card slot, to accept SD or
SDHC cards (sold separately). The slot is located on the right side of the
control panel of model 119233C, and on the left side of the 119225C (see
previous page). The maximum capacity SD card that can be used is 16GB
(119233C) or 32GB (119225C). Simmons recommends SanDisk brand SD
cards.
Make sure the camera’s power is OFF position whenever adding or
removing memory. Insert an SD card into the card slot completely and
oriented correctly as shown by the icon above the slot (label side up, notch
on the right). To remove the SD card, rst push it back in slightly, then pull
out the card.
Using a new, blank SD card is recommended. If the SD card has been used
in another device, it’s recommended that you format it before using it in
your trail cam, using the“Format” option in the Setup menu as described
later in this manual. Make sure you have saved any les you wanted to
keep before formatting an old card! New cards are ready to use straight
from the package.

USING THE SETUP MENU
Setting the Image Capture Mode, Resolution, and Shot Mode
Both trail cam models are normally (by default) set to take still photos, at
the highest resolution the camera is capable of: 3MP (119233C) or 5MP
(119225C). However, you may prefer to setup your camera to capture
video clips instead of still photos, or change the still photo resolution to
“Lo”, so you can get more photos on the SD card and not have to download
or change cards as often (lower resolution=smaller les=more will t on
card of same capacity).
These settings are found in the Setup Menu for both models, immediately
after the Date and Time settings. So rst, you’ll need to enter the Setup
Menu (press MENU or SETUP), and go past all the Date/Time settings as
previously described-just keep pressing the OK button. Next:
