What You Need...
6
Before you can use your Cuddeback, you
will need the following items:
1) One or more Compact Flash Cards. We rec-
ommend a size of 256MB or bigger. The
higher the number on the card, the more
images that can be saved on the card.
2) Four D Cell Batteries (we recommend
Duracell or Rayovac). Refer to the battery
comparison table on the left.
3) A #25 Torx screwdriver if you want to attach
the camera to a tree with the supplied screw.
4) A bungee, strap, or wire if you want to attach
Cuddeback to a tree without the Torx screw.

CUDDEBACK STORES IMAGES ON
COMPACT FLASH CARDS
Images are stored on a Compact Flash card
(not included). The Compact Flash card slot
is located on the bottom of the camera.
• Install the card. There is a small lip on the
card. The lip needs to be pointed down
(towards the batteries). Slide the card in
firmly.
• Remove the card by pulling the card out.
• You can use any type of Compact
Flash Card.

TIP - We do not recommend attaching Cuddeback to a tree with a strap or bungee.
Rodents may chew the strap causing the camera to fall from the tree. If you do not use
the security screw, we recommend that you use wire to secure Cuddeback to the tree.
The following items are optional:
5) A small padlock if you want to prevent
tampering. Note: Only certain sized padlocks
will fit.
See diagram at right for measurements.
6) USB cable if you want to attach Cuddeback to
your computer's USB port.
7) Video cable & TV if you want to view images
with a TV.
Remove or insert CF card ONLY when
slide switch is in the OFF position.
