camera than side-to-side movement. And finally, if an animal is moving very
slowly, it will sometimes not produce a strong enough signal within the sensor to
trigger the camera.
Memory Card Problems
If your camera won’t start up properly
or displays a
“
card
error, write lock
”
, first check to be sure your card is not
“Locked”. On most SD cards there is a switch on the side of
the card. If the card is locked, you will not be able to save
any photos. If the card is not locked, but this message
persists, you can attempt to clean the contacts in the card
holder by blowing canned air into the card slot. This will often resolve the issue.
If you have other issues, you may have to try a different brand of memory card.
We have found that some inexpensive memory cards are very slow and do not
always run well (even if they are advertised as fast). RECONYX

Cold Weather Problems
If your camera shuts down in the cold, it may be too cold for the batteries. Refer
to
“
Battery
Specifications”
for recommended battery types.
Extreme cold weather does have an adverse effect on the LCD display. This
does not inhibit the camera
’
s ability to function, it just makes it hard to read the
display.
Battery Life Less than Expected
NiMH batteries have decreased life in hot weather. They will run the camera, but
they will have decreased run time. It is not unusual to see battery life drop off
50% or more when daytime temperatures are near 90
˚ Fahrenheit
or higher.
This will not damage your NiMH batteries, their charge just runs down faster.
If you notice that nighttime illumination decreases over time, you should change
your batteries sooner or switch to Lithium batteries.
