The Ltl Acorn 5310 Series (Model Ltl-5 310A/MC and
Ltl-5 310MM) is the third generation of our Ltl acorn scouting
camera. Bundled with the MMS-module (Multimedia
Messaging Service) battery box (Part # LTL-MM)standard
scouting camera (Part # Ltl-5 310A) can be upgraded to work
as a remote cellular camera. With its highly sensitive Passive
Infra-Red (PIR) sensor the camera detects the sudden change
of ambient temperature caused by moving game in a region of
interest (ROI), triggers to take pictures/videos, and sends the
images via GSM network to the user ’s cell phone or email
account. With newly added SMS remote control feature you
can change the related menu of the camera by sending SMS
order to the camera in the specific form of the SMS content.

The camera provides the following connections for external
devices: USB 2.0 port, SD card slot, TV out jack, and external
DC power in jack. The 3-way Power/Mode Switch is used to
select the main operation modes: OFF,ON and TEST.
To power up the camera, install four NEW high-performance
alkaline or lithium AA batteries in the camera. FOR BETTER
PERFORMANCE, WE RECOMMEND USING ENERGIZER
LITHIUM AA BATTERIES. To achieve longer in-field life,
always install the additional battery box which contains four
more AA batteries. (Please reference Appendix III: Instruction
