4) If the above two steps are done properly the following will happen:

a. The LCD display will display [New ##] on line 1, and [Free

###] on line 2. This indicates the number of images taken since

you last checked your Cuddeback, and also indicates the amount of

free memory (in Megabytes) that is remaining on the Compact

Flash card.

b. In addition the Live Camera mode is suspended and Cuddeback

will no longer record images. Cuddeback is placed in the Standby

mode.

5) If the above does not occur you must repeat steps 1 and 2.

a. NOTE: The a-switch was deliberately designed to require a

precise procedure to activate. This was done to prevent accidental

and unintentional activation.

6) Activating the a-switch again will clear the display and resume Live

Camera mode, or you can allow automatic operation to rearm Cuddeback in

10 minutes.

NOTE: The a-switch DOES NOT work in dark and dim light levels! In

these situations you must open the enclosure and press a key to determine

Cuddeback image status.

When to use the A-Switch

The a-switch allows you to check Cuddeback without requiring you to enter

your password. Using the a-switch you can:

1) Quickly determine if any images were recorded without opening the

Cuddeback enclosure.

2) Determine how much memory is available on the Compact Flash card.

3) Exchange Compact Flash cards (of course, you must open the enclosure for

this step).

4) Then re-enable Live Camera.

TV REQUIREMENTS

You can use a portable TV to view images in the field. You will need: 1) a

portable TV with a built in video-in port, 2) a patch cord to attach the TV to the

Cuddeback’s video–out port (both are available at Radio Shack and other

electronic stores). The patch cord must have an RCA jack on one end to attach

to Cuddeback, and the opposite cable end must have a connector compatible

with the portable TV you select. We recommend you bring your Cuddeback to

the TV retailer so he can assist in getting you the correct cable. Radio Shack has

a selection of TVs and cables that will work with your Cuddeback.

When selecting a TV to use keep these things in mind: a bigger screen will

provide a better image and allow you to more easily identify animals. Also, the

best TVs will use a TFT screen (thin-film transistor and will provide a better

image.

You can also use a camcorder to view images in the field. You will need: 1) a

camcorder with a built in video-in port, 2) a patch cord to attach the camcorder

to the Cuddeback’s video–out port. The patch cord must have an RCA jack on

one end to attach to Cuddeback, and the opposite cable end must have a

connector compatible with the camcorder you have. Most camcorders use an

RCA jack for the video-in port. Typically, you will need an RCA to RCA cable.

We recommend you bring your Cuddeback to the TV retailer so he can assist in

getting you the correct cable. Radio Shack has a selection of cables that will

work with your Cuddeback.

Images displayed on the TV/camcorder will be at a low resolution. Best

image resolution will be obtained on your computer display or on printed

images.

COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS

You can use a personal computer, or PC, or printer to view images saved on

Cuddeback’s Compact Flash card. Your computer or printer will require a

Compact Flash card reader. Your computer retailer will be able to help you

determine what you require.

To view the video clips you will need QuickTime® Player installed on your

computer. If this software is not installed on your computer you can download

it at www.quicktime.com
