Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Cuddeback Capture digital scouting camera.
Capture is so easy to use that you may feel you do not need to read this manual.
However, we recommend you spend 5 minutes familiarizing yourself with some
of the not-so-obvious features of the Capture. At the very least, we recommend
you read how to check your Capture.
What you need
Before you can use your Capture, 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’s padlock opening.
