The next step in your trail camera project is to configure the 2.5mm connector
for the RS-232 board. You need to make 3 small solder jumpers on J3, J5, and J9.
With a small tipped soldering iron head up one of the 3 jumper pads and add solder
making a small "ball" that covers both pads. You may need to drag the solder from one
pad over to the other, thus making a solder bridge.

This is what the 3 solder bridges will look like when you are complete.

Next using your power cable (the red-black cable) strip off the ends
with a wire stripper.

Solder the red wire from your power cable into one leg of the external
switch.



When soldering heat up the wire and leg of the switch, then apply the solder.

Next solder the red wire from your battery holder to the other leg of the
external switch. You may want to trim some of the excess wire from the
battery holder before starting.

Next place a small piece of heat shrink tubing over the black power cable
wire. If you don't have any heat shrink tubing you can skip the step and
just place some electrical tape over the connection when done.

Solder the black wire from your power cable to the black wire of the battery
holder.

This is what your wiring will look like when you are done.

Lastly plug in the 2.5mm cable between the Universal board and the
camera. Place 4 AA batteries into the battery holder. Note, it's best to
use alkaline batteries over rechargeable batteries. Most rechargeable batteries
are only  ~1.2V a cell, which only gives you a ~4.8V supply. This is not enough voltage
to run your Universal board for 4-8 months that we spec.

Next, open the cover slide of your camera and turn the power on. You can
quickly test out your system!
