The display will show “dEFN” (see Fig. 12). To return the Interval, Capture Mode, and Camera ID# to their original,
“factory default” settings, use UP/DOWN to change the “N” after “dEF_” to “Y” (Yes), then press OK to confirm.
Note: your
time and date settings and camera ID# will not be changed from their current settings to the original defaults, and
your SD card will not be formatted. Only the Interval and Capture Mode settings will be restored to their defaults.
MOUNTING AND AIMING THE CAMERA
Mounting
After setting the camera’s time/date and other options to your preferences, you’re ready to take it outside and
begin capturing images of animals in the area you want to monitor. When setting up the Tasco Trail Camera for
scouting game or other
outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend mounting the
Tasco Trail Camera on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 inches. To get the optimal picture quality, the tree
should be about 16-17 ft. away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 2.5-
3.5 ft. Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the
subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 40 ft. and no closer than 10 ft. from the camera.
There are two ways to mount the Tasco Trail Camera: using the provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable web belt: Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the back of the Tasco Trail
Camera (Fig. 12). Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk
by
pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.
