    Just got a new 2014 Covert MPE5 in the mail today from OutDoorTrailCams on Amazon Marketplace. Standard shipping got it here in less than 2 days.

    Everything works fine except I'm having a problem setting the time. Setting the month, day, and year was easy. Once I get to the hour, I can set it to Hour 15, Hour 16, Hour 17, etc. Just can't set it to the minute. I'll probably just wait until 7:00 PM EST and set the time on the camera to Hour 19. Is there some step I'm missing? I have an MP-6, a Black 60, and a Red 40 and haven't had any problem at all setting the time.

    Thanks Pat, I have it set now. What was confusing me was the 1-00 displayed after I pressed the right arrow button. We'll be happy when this rain stops so we can get this cam in the woods. Thanks again. It's a very simple set up.
