Linx:
- The Linx is a live video Walkie Talkie operating in true color and night vision modes. It sends
video and sound signals to another Linx device at a range of up to 500 feet (152 metres) in
open areas, away from devices that can cause electrical interference. It also allows the user to
send preset icons and messages to the other Linx device.
USB Cord :
- The USB cord is used to charge the Linx’s lithium-polymer rechargeable battery, and connects
the Linx to the USB port that is commonly found on most computers.
Earpiece:
- The earpiece consists of a built in microphone and speaker. One connects to each Linx
handset and enables the users to speak to each other. The built in volume control allows the
user to set the volume to a comfortable level.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
For LI-ION / POLYMER BATTERIES
• You must read these safety instructions and warnings before using or charging your battery.
• Never disassemble the Linx or try to remove the battery.
• While generally safe, Lithium-Polymer batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the below
instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
• Lithium-Polymer battery may explode and cause fire if misused or defective.
• When charging the battery, please place it on a fire resistant surface. Do not leave the Linx on
a wood surface or on paper, carpet, or grass. Do not leave the unit unattended while it is
charging. If at any time you witness the Linx starting to swell up, emit smoke or feel hot,
discontinue charging process immediately, disconnect the Linx and observe it in a safe place
for approximately 15 minutes. The battery may be leaking, and the reaction with air may cause
the chemicals to ignite, resulting in fire. In the unlikely event of this occurring, please contact us
via the EyeSpy website www.eyespytoys.com or call our Customer Assistance Line at 1866 469 9686.
• Never store or charge the Linx inside your car in extremely warm temperatures (105ºF or 41ºC),
since extreme temperature could ignite a fire.
• Never drop the Linx, as this may cause a battery to leak.
Never point the Linx camera at a very strong light source such as the sun, a nearby
floodlight or car headlight or a powerful flashlight. This may destroy the camera and
screen. If this occurs, you should return the unit to us for repair or replacement at your
expense.

HOW TO USE
1. Plug one earphone/microphone unit (two
included) into each Linx unit. Insert the plug into
the round jack on the right side of each Linx. The
earphone/microphone unit can be adjusted for use
on either a left or right ear. The curved “over-the-
ear” unit can slide off the main unit section and

a foot away from your face with the
screen aimed toward you. Tell the other
person to hold their Linx the same way.
4. Press and release the black “up-arrow”
button under the left side of the screen to
see either your face or your partner’s
face. This can also be used as a “mirror”
and also to position yourself on the
screen so that the other person can see
you in frame.
5. Press and release the black “down-
arrow” button to turn on the green-tinged
“night-vision” feature. Press and release
again to turn the screen black. Press and

“up-arrow’ button under the right
side of the screen to see an expres-
sive icon. Repeatedly pressing this
button will show you each of the five
