BATTERY INSTALLATION
Unlock the latches on the right side of the camera and open it up so you
see the control panel, display and battery compartment. Both models
covered inthismanualuse lithium (forlongestlife) or alkaline“AA”batteries.
You may use either 4 or 8 batteries in model 119326C (8 will last longer),
but model 119318C requires a full set of eight batteries. Simmons
recommends Energizer® brand batteries. Make sure the batteries are
inserted correctly, as indicated inside the battery compartment. Incorrect
voltage or polarity (+/-) will damage the camera.
Optionally, you can connect an external DC power source. Please use a
compatible power source (not provided) connected to the DC power input
jack of the trail cam (see photo), making sure that the voltage, minimum
current rating, and connector polarity are all correct for your model. If
both an external power source is connected and batteries are installed,
the trail cam will be powered by the external power source.
External DC Power Source Specs:
Model 119326C: 6 volts DC, 1000mA (1A) minimum
current, positive tip connector polarity.
Model119318C:12voltsDC,1000mA(1A) minimum
current, positive tip connector polarity.
SD CARD INSTALLATION
Your Simmons digital trail cam has a memory card slot, to accept SD or
SDHC cards (sold separately). The card slot is located on the top of the
control panel, above the display (see previous page). The maximum
capacity SD or SDHC card that can be used is 32GB. Simmons recommends
SanDisk brand SD cards.
Make sure the camera’s power is OFF position whenever adding or
removing memory. Insert an SD card into the card slot completely and
oriented correctly as shown by the icon above the slot (label side away
from the display screen, contacts towards the display). To remove the SD
card, rst push it back in slightly, then pull out the card.

Using a new, blank SD card is recommended. If the SD card has been used
in another device, it’s recommended that you format it before using it in
your trail cam, using the“Format” option in the Setup menu as described
later in this manual. Make sure you have saved any les you wanted to
keep before formatting an old card! New cards are ready to use straight
from the package.
SETTING THE CONTROL PANEL SWITCHES
Along with the “On/O” Power switch, the control panel (both models)
includes two other slide switches that aect the operation of the trail
camera. Each has three positions. These switches function as follows:
IMAGE CAPTURE MODE SWITCH
This is the switch to the right of the Ok button. If you want to capture
a single still photo each time the camera’s PIR sensor is triggered
(subject to the trigger delay time), place the switch in the top “Sin”
(single) position. To capture a rapid series of three photos per trigger,
use the middle“Mul”(multiple) position. To capture video clips instead
of still photos, place the switch in the bottom “Mov” (movie) position.
The length of the video clips is preset at 15 seconds each on model
119326C, but can be adjusted in the Setup Menu of the 119318C, from
5 to 60 seconds.
PIR SENSOR SENSITIVITY SWITCH
This is the middle slide switch. It allows you to increase or decrease
the passive infrared sensor’s (PIR) sensitivity to heat. There are three
settings, H (high), M(medium) and L(low). When setting up the
camera to capture images of wildlife on hot summer days, it can be
more dicult for the sensor to detect the temperature dierence
between animals and their surroundings. Setting the sensitivity
switch to “H” can help, since it makes the PIR more sensitive to small
dierences in temperature. The opposite is also true-setting the switch
to “L” can help prevent false or too frequent triggers during the low
ambient temperatures of winter. And “M” (medium) is a good setting
for moderate fall and spring temperatures.

ABOUT THE SETUP MENU
Slide the power switch to the On position. You’ll see four dashes,
(119326C)or a “PIR TEST” countdown (119318C), then the display goes
out. Before you start using the camera, you’ll want to make a few settings
so the correct date/time is printed on your photos, and the trigger delay
time and image resolution are set according to your preferences. This is
done by using the Setup Menu.
To enter the Setup Menu (after turning the camera’s power on), press the
Setup button (far left side of the control panel). Press Ok rst if you want
to change the setting of any menu item. Press Up or Down to move to
the next or previous menu item without changing a setting. Here are
the options (in order of appearance) in the Setup Menu of each camera
model, and how to make changes to the settings:
