BATTERY LIFE
Long battery life is one of the most important requirements for convenient and enjoyable game camera use.
There are several variables that will determine the battery life including type of batteries, temperature outside,
recording settings, frequency of camera activity, etc. Colder temperatures, more advanced settings, night
photos and high photo frequency (low camera delay) will result in shorter battery life. Different brands of
batteries may also perform better than others, so please experiment to find what works best for you. (NOTE:
Capturing video clips and time lapse videos uses more power and will result in shorter battery life then capture
motion detected photos.)
EXAMPLES:
- Camera in standby mode with limited record activity may produce up to 1 year battery life.
- Camera with a lot of day activity in mild climate may produce tens of thousands of photos
on one set of AA batteries.
- Time Lapse 10s Interval mode may only result in 5 to 7 day battery life using 8 AA batteries
and 10 to 14 day battery life for Time Lapse 20s Interval mode.
- Setting the camera for video mode can greatly lower the battery life if videos are captured at
night when iR LEDs are illuminated. If night video capture is required, setting the video length
for 5 or 10 seconds is recommended to maximize battery life.
FORMATTING/CLEANING SD MEMORY CARD
If SD Memory Card has been used in any other devices, we recommend formatting before use in the Truth
Cam. We also recommend reformatting the card every time the card is cleared of pictures. It only takes a
few seconds and can avoid inconvenient corruption and compatibility issues that can result in loss of game
pictures.
Formatting The SD Card Erases All images and Data.
NOTE: Primos recommends formatting all SD media on a computer after
media has been copied to the computer and no longer needed on the SD media.
This removes all corrupted files or data artifacts that can cause potential media recording issues.
To Proceed With Formatting
1. Hold ▲ and ▼arrow buttons together for 2 seconds
2. Format is complete when the display shows photo/video count “0000”
CAUTION: NO WARNING IS DISPLAYED WHEN HOLDING DOWN BOTH ARROW BUTTONS IN
FORMATTING SD CARD PROCESS. THIS DELETES ALL PHOTOS, VIDEOS, AND ANY OTHER DATA ON
THE SD CARD.
