it Lens side down on a flat surface, or Lens side

battery door by pulling open the latch.
3. With the wheel in the middle of the camera, you 
can choose between one of seven operating pro-
grams. Simply rotate the wheel with your finger 
left or right to choose the desired setting.
4. Insert a USB flash drive (4 or 8 GB) and 4 AA 
batteries, and replace the rear cover. Your 
PlotWatcher TLV camera is now ready for you to 
set the time and date using the Gamefinder video 
player software. Note: PlotWatcher TLV will 
not function properly with a USB drive larger 
than 8 GB.
*Midday Skip is a feature that stops recording of HD Video during the middle of the day for a specified time. This conserves 
battery life, extending the number of days the PlotWatcher TLV camera will operate before the batteries must be replaced. 
Midday skip begins 4 hours after daybreak, and extends for the specified duration.
** To modify the custom settings for wheel position 7, use the “Settings” option in the GameFinder software and follow the 
instructions.
