K4 (Model 119900)– (24Hr / DAY / NIGHT) MODE: The Trail Scout has three working times: (a) 24Hr: The Trail camera is working all day . When the PIR is sensed the unit will take an image and record an EVENT. (b) DAY: The Trail camera is only working in daytime (from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM), When the PIR (Passive InfraRed) is sensed the unit will take image and record EVENT. If the PIR is sensed out of day-time, only an EVENT is recorded, an image is not taken. (c) NIGHT: The Trail camera is only working at night (from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM), When the PIR (Passive InfraRed) is sensed the unit will take image and record EVENT. If the PIR is sensed out of night time, only an EVENT is recorded, an image is not taken.

5. K4 (Models 119600 & 119800)– (30s/1Min/2Min) CAMERA DELAY MODE

K5 (Model 119900) – (30s/1Min/2Min) CAMERA DELAY MODE: There are three modes for taking delayed pictures: 30 Sec, 1 Min and 2 Min. The unit will record EVENTS while CAMERA is in DELAY MODE each time the PIR senses motion. (a) 30s: After the first picture, a second picture will be taken 30 seconds later. (b) 1Min: After the first picture, a second picture will be taken 1 minute later. (c) 2Min: After the first picture, a second picture will be taken 2 minutes later.

2. K2 – Image Mode Switch (STILL / MOVIE):

Set K2 to either of these settings: (UP) STILL Photo Mode: Image resolution is 0.35MP (119600) or 2.1MP (119800/119900) and photos are stored in JPG format. (DOWN) MOVIE Mode: The camera can record a 15 second movie, the file format is AVI. NOTE: The use of MOVIE Mode must be during daytime with models 119600 and 119800. You can not record movies at night. However, MOVIE mode with the model 119900 CAN be used at night when the camera is in the IR-LED mode. (Model 119900 only)

3. K3 - Lighting Mode Switch (LED / Incand):

The Game camera has two modes for illumination in darkness: (a) LED Mode: When you use IR-LED light mode to take still picture at night, you must remove the FILTER from the lens of the trail camera. The IR-LED (infrared) light is invisible to the naked eye, but will provide illumination for the camera, use it when you do not want to alert the subject. This mode will provide illumination for nighttime movie capture. (b) Incand Mode: You can use Incandescent mode to take still pictures at night. If you want to record movies using the MOVIE mode, you can not use Incand mode—you must set K3 to LED Mode. Setup Guide (cont.)

Trail Scout 6LIM.indd 12-13 1/25/05 4:25:48 PM1. SD CARD SLOT The unit has a standard SD Card slot. You must push the SD Card in with the SD Card label facing the Bushnell logo into the SD card slot. Pushing it again will release the SD card, and then you can remove the SD card from the SD card slot. Insertion or removal of SD card is only recommended when the unit is in the “OFF” position.

The sensor that triggers the trail camera is Passive InfraRed, or PIR. Infrared energy is essentially heat en

ergy. The PIR detector operates by sensing a change in the infrared level in its detection zone. This zone is a cone in the center 10 degrees of the camera’s field of view. The camera establishes an average long-term infrared level. When this level increased suddenly the PIR detector signals the camera to record a picture and/or an event. Because of this effect, the PIR detector will be more sensitive at night, when the average temperature is lower. In the Setup mode, you can use PIR sensor to determine the detection zone .When the PIR is sensed, the PIR Sense Indicator will light. The camera’s field of view is a 45 degree cone, centered on the PIR detec

PIR—Passive Infrared Sensor. Senses motion like typical security motion detector. Requires Infrared Energy in addition to motion to trip sensor to assure detection of live animals. Event—Any time that the PIR senses motion it counts it as an event. Events are recorded to the SD card in a text file. Events are recorded continuously during operation. Image—A digital picture recorded on the SD Card when motion is sensed. Images are taken at the desired delay between images. Image Delay—Delay between images taken by camera. This is user-set based on wildlife activity in area. IR Flash—LED Night Vision Flash. Sends a burst of Infrared Energy which is invisible to the human eye. Especially useful for night photos when a visible flash is undesirable. (Featured on Model 119900 only) Camera Flash—Incandescent Flash used for night or low light photography. Typically oversized to achieve greater flash range for hitting game out further. SD Card—Memory card used to store images and events inside the trail camera. 32MB card included. Battery Life—Time that camera will function in the field. Dependent on temperature, number of images and number of flashes during that time. Setup—Methods required for setting date/time and camera imaging settings. Security (4 methods)—One of the most important requirements of any trail camera. Bushnell units have 4 levels—padlock, tree bracket, cable lock, and software password. GLOSSARY
