Batteries & Memory Cards
Your RECONYX® MicroFire™camera runs on six AA-cell batteries. We highly
recommend using either Energizer®Ultimate Lithium™batteries or high-quality
NiMH Rechargeable batteries in your camera. Alkaline batteries do not
provide as much power as Lithium or NiMH batteries, they are adversely
affected by both hot and cold weather and are not recommended.
NiMH will operate at temperatures down to -20°F. Lithium batteries will operate
to -40°F.
NOTE: Be sure to load batteries in the proper orientation (The coil spring is the
negative contact point in the battery cartridge).
Warning!Do not mix battery types! Damage to the camera can result and your
warranty will be voided if you mix battery types.

Micro Secure Digital®(SD or SDHC) Card Specifications
A Micro Secure Digital (SD/SDHC) card is used to store the pictures your camera
captures. These images may be transmitted to your mobile device using the
RECONYX Mobile App.
Inserting and Removing memory cards
Make sure the orientation is correct and that the card is aligned properly. Push
gently on the memory card as shown below until it clicks into place. Remove
by pushing on the card until it clicks and is partially ejected.
Warning! Inserting the memory card upside down or backwards could
damage the camera or the memory card. Damage resulting from inserting the
card incorrectly is not covered under warranty.

Memory Card - File System Requirements
Secure Digital cards have various speeds and capacities. Larger capacity cards
are capable of storing more images. Your MicroFire™ camera can accept cards
up to 32GB.
Cards with higher speed ratings (Class 10 or Higher) are recommended for
reading and writing images faster. This is advantageous when taking High
Definition Videos.
Troubleshooting your memory card
If you have a memory card that does not seem to work, or you used the card in
another device, you may have to re-format your memory card. This can be done
with any Windows® Operating System.
Windows® –Steps to format memory card
Step 1: Insert your memory card into your computer's card reader.
Step 2: Click "Start -> My Computer”. You should see your memory card under
the list of available drives. Be sure to check its contents first to make sure that
you have the right drive.
Step 3: Right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
Step 4: Under "File system" select the "FAT32"option then click on 'Start'.
Step 5: Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it
into your Camera.

Mounting Your Camera
The camera can be mounted to a tree by using the included Universal Camera
Mount (shown below). Simply screw the mount into a tree or post and then
install the camera using the threaded insert. Loosen the ball mount to adjust the
camera aim. For added security, our MicroFire™ Security Enclosure can be used
with a Python™ Cable Lock by MasterLock®.
Visit our website www.reconyx.com for other options for mounting and securing
your camera.
Mounting Camera with Universal Camera Mount (included)
We recommend that you mount your camera at a height of approximately 4 feet
or higher. This height is optimal for detecting animals in the field of view of the
camera as well as for accessing the camera’s card and batteries.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you use a theft deterrent device such as a
Security Enclosure and a lock to help secure your camera against
possible theft when it is in the field.
TIP: Be sure to enable the Codeloc™ feature on your camera for additional
security.

Aiming Your Camera
PIR Motion Detector
The Passive Infrared Motion Detector on your MicroFire™camera is precisely
aligned with the camera lens to give you the best chance of capturing subjects
that come into the field of view of the camera, while not capturing pictures of
anything that is not in the view of the camera.
The motion detector can detect movement up to 60 feet away. However, the
detection range is dependent on the temperature of the source in relation to the
ambient air temperature.
For the camera to take a picture two things need to happen:
1) An object (typically an animal) with a temperature different from the
background temperature must be present within one of the detection bands.
(i.e. something warmer or colder than the ambient temperature).
2) That object (i.e. something with a different temperature) must be moving into
or out of the motion detection zones.
Motion Sensor Test Mode
Learning to use the WalkTest mode is critical to being as successful as possible
with your RECONYX® camera. The WalkTest mode allows you to precisely
determine your camera’s active motion detection zones –ensuring your camera
is aimed exactly where you want to capture animal activity.
1) Secure the camera to a tree or other object aiming the camera toward where
you want it to capture pictures.
2) Using the RECONYX® Mobile App, select “CHECK AIM” to put camera in
Motion Sensor Test mode.
3) Walk in front of the camera where you expect to capture pictures. Every time
the green WalkTest light blinks it indicates that a motion event is taking place.
If the WalkTest light does not blink where you expect it to, adjust the aim or
location of the camera.
4) If possible, set up the camera so that no large trees or objects are in the main
field of view of the camera, as they can adversely affect motion detection as
well as night time flash range.

TIP: When setting the camera up it’s best to position the camera using the
“Check View” feature. The camera will send you a photo on demand to allow you
to see the camera’s field of view.
NOTE: All RECONYX™cameras will self-arm from the WalkTest mode after a
two minute period during which it does not detect any motion events.
External Power Connection
All MicroFire cameras include an External Power Connector and Cable. This
allows you to connect the Camera to a 12 volt DC 4 amp power supply of your
choosing. Connecting to the correct power supply is your responsibility! Any
damage caused by connecting to an incorrect power source is not covered under
the warranty. If you have any questions, please contact our Technical Service
