Battery life is shorter than expected
Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number 1.
of images taken over time. Typically, the Trail Cam will be able to
capture several thousand images before the batteries die.
Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium 2.
batteries. Simmons recommends using Energizer® Alkaline or
Lithium batteries in this Trail Cam to obtain maximum battery
life.
Make sure that the power switch was turned to the “On” position 3.
and that the camera was not left in “Setup” mode while in the
eld.
Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD 4.
card in your camera. Simmons recommends SanDisk® brand SD
Cards. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD cards can
sometimes reduce your Trail Cam battery life.
Camera stops taking images or won’t take images
Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the 1.
camera will stop taking images.
Check the batteries to make sure that they are new alkaline or 2.
lithium batteries. See note above about short battery life.
Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “On” position 3.
and not in the “O” position or in “Setup” mode.
Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your 4.
camera. Simmons recommends SanDisk® SD Cards.
If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the 5.
camera will not take images.
If you have used an SD card in another device before inserting it in 6.
your Trail Cam, you might want to try formatting the card using
the “Format” option in Setup mode (make sure you have backed
up any important les rst, as formatting will erase all previous
les). In some cases, other devices may change the formatting of
the SD card so that it will not work properly with the Trail Cam.
