CAMERA OPERATION Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to capture photos of wildlife activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just follow these steps: 1.

Tasco recommends using 4 Energizer® Alkaline “C” Cell batteries in this Trail Cam to obtain maximum battery life. 3. Make sure that the Power Button was switched to the “On” position, and th
