INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your Trophy Cam HD Essential, you
will first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although
that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both
batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to
read the following directions and cautions:
Loading Batteries
After opening the latch on the right side of the Trophy Cam HD Essential,
you will see that the Trophy Cam HD Essential has eight battery slots. A
full set of eight batteries must be installed for the camera to operate. Be sure
to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or "flat" end against the
long spring of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using eight new lithium
AA (Energizer
brand) or alkaline AA batteries.

NiMh Rechargeable batteries can also be
used, but they might have a shorter life span
due to their reduced efficiency over time and
at low temperature.
Inserting the SD Card
The Trophy Cam HD Essentials have 64MB internal memory, which
can hold about 92 photos (@ 8MP resolution). This is handy for testing
and getting familiar with the camera, but you will no doubt want to leave
the camera unattended for longer than a day or two, so using an SD card
is recommended. Insert the SD card (with the camera's power switch in
the OFF position) before beginning to operate the camera. Don't insert or
remove the SD card when the power switch is in the ON position.
