• ON mode: Power switch in the ON position (LCD screen is off.)
• AIM mode: Power switch at the AIM position (LCD screen is on.)
OFF MODE
The OFF mode is the safe mode when any action 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 the
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 OFF. Please note that even in OFF mode the AUTOPILOT
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
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch on the camera. When
the power switch is moved to the top position, the camera will enter into the ON (Live) mode. The
motion indicator LED will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for you to close the
AUTOPILOT Cam's front cover, lock it, and leave the monitored area. Once in the ON mode, no manual
controls are needed. The AUTOPILOT Cam will take photos or videos automatically (according to its
current slide switch 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 the SETUP
position first to change one or more settings, then move the switch to ON after you have finished
doing so.
AIM MODE
In the SETUP mode you can check and change the date and time. 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, and the battery level.
NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to AIM mode. It is possible that the camera could lock
up if it is switched from ON to AIM mode. If this occurs, simply move the switch to OFF and then push
it over to AIM again.
