Cuddeback CAPTURE FAMILY IR User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Cuddeback Capture IR digital scouting camera.
Capture IR is so easy to use that you may feel you do not need to read this manual.
However, we recommend you spend 5 minutes reading this manual to familiarize
yourself with the not-so-obvious features of the Capture IR. At the very least, we
recommend you read how to check your Capture IR.

What you need

Before you can use your Capture IR, you will need the following items:

1. One or more Secure Digital (SD) cards. We recommend sizes up to 2 GB,
with 1 GB being the preferred size. The higher the number on the card, the
more images that can be saved on the card. DO NOT USE SDHC CARDS.

2. Four D Cell batteries (we recommend Rayovac, Duracell or Energizer
brand batteries).

3. An optional padlock if you want to prevent tampering. The shaft of the padlock
must be ¼ inch or smaller to fit through the Capture IR’s padlock opening.
