2) Test Mode – Cuddeback is in test and align state. In this mode the Cuddeback LED will illuminate when activity is sensed. This
state is used to verify Cuddeback’s detection zone and to assist in aligning Cuddeback to trigger where you desire. Cuddeback
will automatically activate Live Camera mode if left in the Test Mode.
3) Live Mode – Cuddeback is placed in Live Camera mode and will trigger the camera when activity is sensed. It is only in this
state that the Cuddeback will save events and trigger the camera. Line 2 of the LCD will display the programmed camera mode as
either Motion , TimeLpse, or Both. (Refer to the section Setup, Camera Mode for details on the camera operating mode).
When Live Camera mode is initiated there will be a 45 second delay before the motion sensor activates. This provides you with
enough time to replace the battery cover and move away from the camera. The LCD display will clear when the motion sensor
activates. You can force the LCD display to clear by pressing the (C KEY).

displayed.
