Page 1
GPS GameSpy Connect leverages the cell phone network to wirelessly upload
photos from your camera to your Moultrie Inbox, allows you to change your
camera settings from the Moultrie Camera Settings web page, and provides the
GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates of the GPS GameSpy Connect
module’s location. The GPS coordinates are attached to each photo taken.
(1) Sign-up and register to activate device (Page 4)
(2) Install batteries in GPS GameSpy Connect (page 2)
(3) Place the TEST/AUTO switch to TEST (page 3).The GPS GameSpy Connect
module does not need to be connected to the camera for this test.
(4) TEST: The GSM STATUS INDICATOR (page 3) will blink repeatedly within
30 seconds if the GPS GameSpy Connect has connected to the local cellular
tower. If it does not blink repeatedly within 30 seconds, you do not have the
necessary network coverage at this location.
(5) Place the TEST/AUTO switch back to AUTO when done.

RJ45 COMMUNICATION CABLE
Connect the RJ45 Communication Cable to the female port on the Moultrie
Camera. Assure there are no sharp bends in cable and that the connector “clicks”
into place when installed in the camera.
BATTERY SLIDE TRAY
GPS Game Spy Connect module requires six AA batteries. To install or replace
batteries, turn the Battery Tray Release Screw 1/2 turn in the counter-clockwise
direction. Pull on tray to slide out. Install the batteries while noting the polarity
that is indicated on the tray. New Alkaline batteries will last approximatley 30
days if IMMEDIATE UPLOAD is OFF and the Photo Upload Frequency is set
to “Once per Day” in the Camera Settings page on the Moultrie Server.
Energizer Lithium batteries will last significantly longer.
TEST/AUTO SWITCH
When set to AUTO, power will be controlled by the Moultrie camera. Use of the
TEST setting for anything other than initial registration is not recommended and
will cause excessive battery power drain. The TEST setting should only be used
during initial registration if a camera is NOT connected.
CELLULAR STATUS AND POWER INDICATOR
When module is turned on by the camera (Page 4), the Cellular Status Indicator
will blink repeatedly within 30 seconds if the GPS GameSpy Connect has
connected to the local cellular tower. If the Cellular Status Indicator remains on
solid after approximately 30 seconds, it is likely that you do not have the
necessary network coverage at this location or have not yet registered - refer to
the Troubleshooting Section of this document for details.
POWER CONNECTION MOULTRIE ACCESSORY
Accepts Moultrie options for extending or replacing batteries. Refer to
www.moultriefeeders.com for more information.
LOCATE ME NOW BUTTON
If you are using the GPS mapping feature on Moultrie’s Game Management
website, your GPS Game Spy Connect radio needs to acquire a GPS coordinate
in the field. To acquire the GPS coordinates, make sure you are in the field at
the exact location you want to mark. Press and hold the “Locate Me Now”
button for 10 seconds. When you release the button, the radio will power up and
acquire a GPS coordinate. The GPS status LED will be yellow while acquiring
a coordinate. After a coordinate has been acquired, the LED will turn green, and
the radio will turn off automatically. This coordinate is stored and transmitted
with each picture sent. If you move your camera and radio to a new location,
you will need to repeat the process above to acquire a new coordinate.
