THE DISTANCE DIAL adjusts the
sensitivity of the motion detector. Use this
feature to adjust the detection range so
that night pictures are within the range
of the IR light. Turn the dial to the right to
increase the distance. Turn the dial to the
left to decrease the distance. In most situ-
ations the middle position where the dial
points straight up works just fine.

What does the Distance Dial do?

The best way to check the effect of the distance setting is
to turn the main power switch on the base of the unit to
“Test”. The “Test” light on the front of the unit will light for
60 seconds while the detector charges up. After the light
goes off, walk around in front of the camera where you think
animals will be moving. When the camera detects your
motion, the “Test” light will blink three times. When you see
how the camera reacts to your motion, you may want to
adjust the “Distance” setting, or change the direction or
height the camera is mounted.
The camera will not take pictures during the Test, but after
three minutes, it will automatically set itself to “On” mode
and begin taking pictures when something moves. You may
change the main switch from “Test” to “On” or “Off” at any
time.
The Test light on the front of the camera flashes
momentarily any time you press any button. It is
also a reminder to turn off the digital camera if
the “Cam/Power” switch is left on. The motion
detector can’t tell the camera to take pictures
when the “Cam/Power” switch is on.
Part of the fun of using the camera is predicting where ani-
mals will be and placing the camera to make good pictures.
Animal feed set out in front of the camera helps.
TIP
When placing the camera in the field, look for signs of ani-
mal activity: animal droppings, tracks, and scrapes where
deer mark territory by rubbing their antlers against trees.
