BATTERY INSTALLATION
To maximize battery life, you should install a full set of 8 AA lithium (for
longest life) or alkaline batteries. The camera may also be powered by just
four batteries installed in the rst slots only (see photo). Battery life will be
shorter with 4 batteries, but the camera will operate normally.
NOTE: Always set the power switch to the OFF position when installing or
removing batteries.
Please make sure the batteries are inserted correctly, as indicated inside
the battery compartment. Incorrect voltage or polarity (+/-) will damage
the camera.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix battery types-use ALL lithium or ALL alkaline.
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
SD CARD INSTALLATION
Memory
Your Digital Trail Camera has a memory card slot, to accept SD cards up
to 16 GB max. capacity (not included). When the SD card is full, the camera
will stop capturing images.
Inserting an SD card
• Make sure the power switch is in the 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 up, contacts facing down
and notched corner on the right).
• To remove the SD memory card, depress the SD card and pull out
the card gently.
Using a new, blank SD card is recommended. If the SD card has been
used in another device, please make sure to format it (FAT16) using your
computer before you set the camera to capture photos. New cards are
ready to use straight from the package.

DATE AND TIME IMPRINT FEATURE
Your Digital Trail Camera will automatically imprint the date, time and
moon phase on each photo it captures, based on the initial date and time
data in a text le you can generate and save on the SD card, as described
below. If no text le with date/time is found on the card when the camera
is turned on, only “Simmons”will be imprinted on the photos.
Requirements:
• A PC computer with an internal SD card slot, or an external USB
card reader.
• The “Timetool” application (Windows only), which is provided by
the camera-see details below.
Steps:
1. Switch the Trail Camera to “ON”. Insert a new SD
card in the camera’s card slot. The “Timetool.exe”
software will be automatically saved to the card.
2. Turn o the camera and
remove the SD card. Insert
the card in your computer’s
SD card slot or a compatible
USB connected card reader.
View the SD card contents-
double click to open the le
“timetool.exe”.
3. Click“Update”in the Timetool
window to automatically ll
in the date and time from
your computer’s clock. If this
is not the correct date and
time, click “Edit” and make
changes as needed.
4. Click the “...” button above
Cancel and select the SD card
location (drive letter). Or, if
you know the drive letter for the SD card (e.g. “D:\”), change the
“A” in the white box to the correct letter.

5. Once the date/time data is correct and you’ve selected your SD
card location, click OK to save the text le.
6. Remove the SD card (eject it rst if necessary) and insert it into
your Trail Cam (label side up as previously described). The date
and time data will be automatically loaded into the camera, and
the text le (txt) will be deleted. It is important to get the card
from computer to camera as soon as possible to ensure the
initial time is still accurate.
Note for Mac (OSX) users: although the Timetool software is Windows
only, you can create a compatible le using any application that supports
plain text les (.txt format). Using this app, type the current date and
time using this format:“TIME”YYYYMMDDHHMM (Include the word “TIME”
with quote marks. Do not add spaces, hyphens or slashes). For example,
“TIME”201407171038 represents July 17th, 2014 at 10:38 AM. Save this as
a .txt le to your SD card, naming the le “TIMESYNC”.
POWER ON
After inserting batteries and an SD card (w/date & time le at your option),
slide the power switch to the On position. The PIR indicator (red LED) is
used to warn of problems with the SD card or battery.
• If the red light ashes rapidly for 10 seconds, there is a problem with
the SD card. Check the card (make sure it’s inserted correctly and
protect switch is not locked) or try a dierent card.
• If the red light stays on for 20 seconds, the battery level is low-insert
fresh batteries.
To capture photos of activity in the area you choose to locate your
Simmons Trail Camera, follow the steps listed below in “SET UP”:

1. Mount the Camera
It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1.2~1.5
meters) o the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward
angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as the
rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed
images. Clear branches and other debris away from the front of the
