SD Card FormatUpdated 10 days ago

Formatting an SD memory card may be needed to resolve card corruption, card errors, or image transmission errors. We recommend formatting the card if your camera displays the below errors or behavior. This is not a comprehensive list and is an example of what you may encounter.

NO CARD

CARD READ ERROR

Send Failed - Error 403 (when sending a test photo)

Camera will not transmit a test photo, but there is no error

RangeCam and RangeCam Mini Model Cameras

Put the camera switch in the 'Setup' position and press the Up Arrow button while on the 'Searching..' screen. Press the 'Menu' button to find the 'Format' option. Highlight 'Format' and press OK, then confirm 'Yes'. It should say 'Completed', then 'No File'.

ReachCam Model Cameras

Place the camera into SETUP mode using the toggle switch. Once the Barn Owl logo disappears, press the M button. Scroll to the left until you see FORMAT, then press OK. Press the UP ARROW to YES and press OK. Note: YES will not be highlighted. The camera should reset and return to the FORMAT menu option. Press the M button to return to the SETUP screen.

RangeCam 2 Model Cameras

While the camera is in SETUP mode, locate the SD format button directly beneath the camera's status lights on the right side. Press and hold for five seconds. The SD light (second from the left side) will flash yellow while formatting is in progress, and will turn green once completed. There is no need to reapply camera settings from the website and you may now proceed with a test photo.
