How to use the mount/shelf your digital camera system

1. Mount the Universal board into the camera mount/shelf as shown in Figure 1. First place the 4 nylon spaces provided with your camera mount/shelf over the 4 machine screws. Next place the Universal board onto the mount with the DIP switch facing the bottom as shown. Lastly attach the 4 machine screw nuts in place to hold the board.	Figure 1
2. Place the camera mount/shelf into your Pelican 1040 case as shown in Figure 2. In order to get a proper fit it may be necessary to cut the rubber bladder out of the Pelican 1040 case by cutting the O-Ring seal with a Xato knife, or some sharp knife and replacing it back into the 1040 grove. You may have to use some small drops of glue like Marine GOOP to assure it stays in place. Next, all you need to do is drill 2 1/4" holes on the sides of the mount and secure the mount/shelf with a 1/4-20 Eye Bolt as shown in Figure 3. Note, the right hand side hole will align perfectly with the purge valve on the 1040 case. Simply remove the valve and use this hole as a pilot hole. Once you have this Eye Bolt in place you can easily locate the 2nd Eye Bolt, drill a pilot hole, then your 1/4" hole and mount the 2nd Eye Bolt into place. Figure 3	Figure 2
3. Once you are completed with this step you can mount your camera above on the shelf as shown in Figure 4, and place your 9V battery holder with switch below. Easily build your ownTrail Camera	Figure 4
