How can I tell if my Wildgame Innovations scouting camera is working correctly

[DelHarmony]

To confirm your Wildgame Innovations scouting camera is working, consider these steps. First, verify the batteries are correctly installed, with the positive (+) end up on the outside and the negative (-) end up on the inside. Check the battery level indicator on the screen to confirm sufficient charge. Next, slide the power switch to turn the unit on. The LCD screen should illuminate. After about 30 seconds of inactivity, the camera enters Ready Mode, and the screen turns off. Press any button to reactivate it. While in Ready Mode, the red light will illuminate when movement is detected during the first 3 minutes. After this, all lights will turn off until a button is pressed. Check that the date and time settings are accurate. Navigate the menu using the navigation buttons to ensure you can adjust settings. Lastly, ensure the camera is mounted securely at the recommended distance from the target area, avoiding direct sunlight on the lens. Retrieve the images by removing the SD card and viewing them with an SD card reader, such as the WGI SD Card Reader for Apple or Android. Following these steps and referring to your user manual will help you confirm your Wildgame Innovations camera is operating correctly.
