INSTALLING THE ANTENNA AND SIM CARD
Inserting the SIM Card
Purchase and activate a SIM card from your
mobile phone service provider. An SMS/MMS
(voice+text) enabled SIM card is recommended
if you have unlimited text messaging, as it will
minimize costs. You will also have the option to
control the camera remotely via text messages.
Select a SIM card that also supports data (SMTP
or SSMTP) if you prefer to receive images from the
camera via email through your data plan. Insert your activated SIM card in the
slot near the top left corner of the display.
Attaching the Antenna
As the wireless antenna is not pre-mounted (for packaging considerations),
you will need to attach it to the camera to enable wireless operation. Simply
screw the threaded base of the antenna onto the socket at the top of the
camera. Make sure it is securely attached, but do not over-tighten it.
USING THE WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD
Once you've prepared your WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD 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 those control 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 SETUP MODES
The WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD 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.)
• SETUP mode: Power switch at SETUP position (LCD screen is on).
