GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
The Ltl Acorn Ltl-6210M is a step-up to Ltl-5210M. It provides enhanced features and better
performances. Bundled with the MMS-module (Multimedia Messaging Service) (Part #
LTL-MM2), the standard scouting camera (Part # Ltl-6210MC) 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.

To power up the camera, install four NEW high-performance alkaline or lithiumAA batteries in
the camera. FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE, WE RECOMMEND USING ENERGIZER
LITHIUM AA BATTERIES. To achieve longer in-field life, always install 12 AA batteries.

CAUTION: If you are not using the camera for an extended period of time, it is highly
recommended that you remove the batteries from the camera to avoid possible acid leak
that may damage the camera which would void the warranty.

GETTING START
2.1 Insert SIM Card (Only for Model Ltl-6210MM)

Network Operator (MPNO). Make sure they
provide Multimedia Messaging Service
(MMS).

2.2 Load Batteries on the Front Camera
•Open the bottom cover by pulling down the lock hole.
•Push or dig two battery boxes and release the battery door.
•Install 4 AA batteries in front of camera and 8 AA batteries in back of camera. Make
sure the polarity matches the sign on the cover.
•Push to close the door.
Alternatively the camera can run on an external 6V~12V DC power source (optional). When
both external power and batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the external one
preferentially. Hooked up with Ltl-SUN Solar Power Panel (purchased separately), the camera
can work in the field over one year without changing batteries.
When battery level gets low, the Motion Indicator in the LED array will flash blue. The MMS
Wireless camera will automatically send a “Battery Low” text alert to the user’s cell phone or
email account. Meanwhile, the battery level will be shown as Code B1/B2/B3 on the received
MMS pictures. B3 stands for high level and B1 indicates the level is low and you need to change
the batteries soon.
2.3 Insert SD Card and Format It
The camera does not come with internal memory. It will not work without a SD (Secure Digital)
memory card or SDHC (High Capacity) card. Before inserting the SD card into the card slot,
please make sure the write-protect switch on the side of the SD card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock”
position). The supported memory capacity is up to 32GB. If you use a card capable of above
32GB, make sure you test it before putting the camera in use.
