The device complies with statutory safety regulations. Improper use
may result in personal injury and property damage.
Basic safety guidelines
To ensure safe operation of the device, follow the safety guidelines
set out below:
■ Check the device for visible external damage before use. Do not
operate a device that has been damaged or dropped.
■ If the cables or connections are damaged, have them replaced
by an authorised specialist or the Customer Service department.
■ This device may be used by children aged 8 years and above
and by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are

WK 8 A2
GB│IE│NI

5 ■
■ Allow children to use the device only with supervision. Children
are not always able to correctly recognise potential dangers.
Children must not use the device as a plaything. Cleaning and
user maintenance tasks must not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised.
DANGER! Packaging material may not be used as a toy.
■
Risk of suffocation!
DANGER! Some of the small parts supplied with this device
■
could be swallowed accidentally. If a part is swallowed, seek
medical advice immediately.
■ WARNING! The device emits infrared radiation.
Never look directly into the infrared LEDs.
■ Do not attach the device to free-standing or extremely tall trees,
since these are particularly susceptible to lightning strikes. If
the tree that the camera is attached to is struck by lightning, the
device may be destroyed.
■ All repairs must be carried out by authorised specialist companies
or by the Customer Service department. Failure to make proper
repairs may put the user at risk. It will also invalidate any warranty claims. This device may not be used by children.
■ Repairs to the device during the warranty period may only be
carried out by a customer service department authorised by the
manufacturer. Otherwise no warranty claims can be considered
for subsequent damage.
■ Defective components must always be replaced with original
replacement parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can
only be guaranteed by using these replacement parts.
■ Do not place any objects on the device.
WARNING! Never operate the device in the vicinity of open
■
flames (e.g. candles), and do not place burning candles on or
next to the device. This will help to prevent fires.

WK 8 A2
■ If you notice any unusual noises, smoke or similar unusual situa-
tions, remove the batteries and disconnect any attached mains
adapter from the power supply and contact Customer Service
(see Chapter "Service").
Risk of injury if batteries are improperly
handled
■ Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children might put
batteries into their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has been
swallowed, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
■ Do not throw batteries into a fire. Never subject batteries to high
temperatures.
WARNING! Risk of explosion! Do not charge batteries unless
■
they are explicitly labelled as "rechargeable".
■ Do not open the batteries or short-circuit them.
■ Do not mix different types of batteries. Due to increased risk of leak-
age, empty batteries should be removed. The batteries should also
be removed from the device if it is not being used for long periods.
WARNING! Battery acid leaking from a battery can cause
■
skin irritation. In the event of contact with the skin, rinse with
plenty of water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes,
rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, do not rub and consult a
doctor immediately.
■ The chapter titled "Inserting the batteries/connecting power
supply" describes how to correctly insert and remove batteries.
Risk of injury if small, swallowable parts
are handled incorrectly
■ Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the
small parts of the device that can be swallowed. If a small part
that can be swallowed has been accidentally swallowed, medical
help must be sought immediately.

Possible infringements of the rights of third parties
Please note the following when using the game camera:
Copyright protection
Every person owns the rights to their own image. According to copyright law, pictures of people may only be published without their
permission if the affected person appears merely as an incidental
feature in a landscape or other location. The question as to whether
a person is merely an incidental feature must be ascertained on a
case by case basis. To avoid any legal uncertainty, a warning notice
about the game camera should be provided in all cases in which
recordings that could feature images of potentially identifiable persons are possible (see Chapter "Duty of notification").
Protection of privacy
The privacy of others may not be infringed by any recorded images.
Do not set up the camera so it points to the garden or an entrance
of a neighbouring residence, even if these locations are easily visible
from your own residence or to the general public. This does not a
constitute a right to publish these views.
Personal identifiability
Personal identifiability exists when it can be established that a certain
person was at a certain location at a certain time. This identification
can be made by means of an identifier related to a specific person,
e.g. a car number plate. Personal identifiability must avoided under
all circumstances.

WK 8 A2
Surveillance cameras at the workplace
Surveillance at the workplace is subject to particularly strict legislation in Germany. Employers should not use surveillance cameras
in the workplace in any cases where this could lead to a possible
infringement of legal rights.
Road traffic surveillance cameras
In case of surveillance cameras directed at road traffic, it is advisable that the location of the camera and the framing of the image be
selected so that the road users cannot be identified by means of the
registration plates. Inscriptions/logos on vehicles may also serve as
a means of identifying a road user.
Duty of notification
If it is not possible to preclude the identification of persons, a notification informing of the presence of the surveillance camera must be
placed at clearly visible locations on all access routes to the area
within the filming range of the camera. Pedestrians must also be
informed that by entering the filming range of the camera they give
their consent to be filmed/photographed and if they do not consent
then they should not access the affected area. The voluntary nature
of this consent must be considered. If the camera is located such
that an affected person must pass by in order to reach a destination (e.g. at the entrance to a place of interest) then the absence of
voluntariness precludes the granting of an effective consent.
The respective legal requirements of the country in which the camera
is being used should always be observed to avoid possible infringements of the rights of third parties.

► The device supports microSDHC memory cards with a capacity
of up to 32GB.
► Use a microSDHC card with a speed rating of 10.
Using memory cards with a speed rating of less than 10 can
lead to picture errors during recording.
CAUTION
► To avoid malfunctions, keep the memory card away from
moisture and avoid strong vibration, dust, heat sources and
direct sunlight.
► Insert the memory card as indicated by the icon on the slot.
Never force the memory card into the slot. Never bend or twist
the memory card.
► After transport, wait until the memory card has reached ambi-
ent temperature before using it for the first time. Major fluctuations in temperature or humidity can lead to condensation
which could cause an electrical short-circuit. Keep the memory
