Cuddeback EXPERT - Manual (Page 8)

STEP 5 - KEY IS FOR
CONTROLLING CUDDEBACK
Press to view information and to set the
operating mode.
1) View Date and Time ( figure 15 ) - Press
until the date/time is displayed on the LCD
display.
2) View Images Saved - Press again.
The LCD will display the number of images
saved on the Compact Flash card.
( figure 16 ).
3) Set the Camera Mode - Press again.
One of Cuddeback's 3 camera modes
(Standby, Test, and Live) will be displayed
( figure 17 ). Press or as needed to
change the camera mode.
a) Standby - Cuddeback will not trigger the
camera.
b) Test Mode - The red LED will illuminate
when activity is sensed but the camera will
not trigger.
c) Live Mode - Cuddeback will trigger the
camera when activity is sensed. The red
LED will NOT illuminate. About 45 seconds
after [Live Mode] is displayed, the
LCD will clear.
TIP - After Live Mode is displayed,
there is a 45 second delay before
the motion sensor starts. This
gives you time to install the cover
and move out of the area without
triggering the camera.
After setting up Cuddeback, install
the cover and leave the area. You
can leave the Camera Mode in
Standby or Test and Cuddeback
will automatically arm itself within
12 minutes.

STEP 6 - ATTACHING CUDDEBACK TO A TREE
For best image quality, install Cuddeback about
10 feet from the place animals are expected.
Attach Cuddeback to a suitable tree 3 to 4 feet
above the ground (
figure 18 ).
There are four ways to attach Cuddeback to a tree.
1) Attach with the supplied Torx® screw
(stored on back of Cuddeback)( figure 19 ).
You will need a #25 Torx screwdriver (not
supplied) (
figure 20 ).
2) Use a cord or bungee (not supplied) in con-
junction with the eyebolt (supplied) to
secure Cuddeback to a tree.
3) Use a tripod or other device (not supplied)
attached to the socket on the back of the
camera. The socket has standard 1/4-20
threads and is compatible with most
tripods.
4) Use Cuddeback BearSafe (see page 54
for details).
TIP - To determine the detection area, you can enable
TEST MODE. Then walk slowly back and forth in front
of the camera. The red LED will illuminate when the
camera senses you. The camera will NOT trigger
when in TEST MODE.
Cuddeback can sense and record images at distances
of 50 feet or more. However, you will get the best
image quality if Cuddeback is set closer to the animals.

TIP - We recommend using a
padlock (not included) to secure
the battery cover. This will assure
that nobody tampers with your
Cuddeback Digital Camera.
