GETTING STARTED
CHARGING THE LITHIUM BATTERY
• Remove the lithium battery pack
from the packaging. It is shipped
with the camera.
• Using the included micro-USB cable
and a 5 V wall outlet charger (not
included), recharge the battery pack
for about 12 hours.
• Once the lithium pack is fully charged,
the red light will turn green.
• After unlocking the latch and opening
the camera door, insert the battery pack
in the compartment (see photo).
Do not insert AA batteries into the lithium battery
compartment, as this could damage the camera.
MANAGE DIFFERENT POWER SOURCES FOR YOUR CAMERA
1. The main power source of your camera is the lithium battery
pack (#LIT-10 included), which provides a long charge time,
more than double that of AA batteries.


ENGLISH
5
• The solar panel is designed to maintain the battery pack’s
charge. The camera will be energy self-sucient under
ideal conditions (an energy-ecient conguration and a
sunny environment).
• When the battery pack's charge level is low, you will receive
a notication in your app.
• If your battery pack runs out, the camera will shut down.
• If the camera turns OFF, the solar panel will continue to
power the battery pack. However, for quick and complete
recharging, connect the battery pack to a wall outlet using
the supplied micro-USB cable and a USB power adapter.
• When you restart your camera, after recharging the battery
pack, it will return to the settings you previously selected.
2. Moreover, the camera was designed to recognize and use an
optional power source other than the lithium battery pack:
• If you choose to plug an external 12 V battery (#KIT-12V,
sold separately) into your camera, it becomes your camera’s
new primary power source. The lithium battery pack will
only be used once the 12 V battery is depleted.
• Simply plug the 12 V cable into the 12 V jack of the camera
and connect the other cable end to the 12 V battery.
You can check the battery level using your SPYPOINT app.
However, for an accurate reading, it is important to select
the correct battery type in the app settings.

ENGLISH

PLEASE NOTE
• Using an external 12 V battery source does not recharge the
lithium battery pack.
• The camera solar panel will not recharge an external 12 V battery.

ENGLISH

• If the battery is leaking or emitting an odor, it must
be immediately removed from any ame. The leaking
electrolyte can ignite and cause a re or explosion.
• Do not charge the battery if it looks abnormal in any way
(discolored or deformed). If the battery is in use or being
recharged, it must be removed immediately from the camera
or charger and must not be used again.
• Keep out of reach of children.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
LIT-10 BATTERY PACK
• Recharge the battery pack ONLY with a 5 V wall charger
and using the micro-USB cable included in the package.
• Turn the camera OFF and remove the battery pack, if applicable.
• Charge the battery at room temperature or near-room
temperature: avoid charging it in extreme temperatures.
• Stop using the charger and/or the battery pack if the battery
pack becomes abnormally hot.
• Quickly charge your battery pack before storing it (40-50%).

INSTALLING A MICROSD CARD
The memory card is sold separately. You must rst purchase
a class 10 microSD card between 2 GB and 32 GB of memory.

formatted to ensure proper operations. Visit www.spypoint.
com/en/support if you need help formatting your microSD card.
INSERTING A MICROSD CARD
• Make sure the camera is turned OFF.
• Find the microSD card slot. It is located on
the left, above the battery compartment
(see photo).
• Insert a microSD card (up to 32GB) in the
microSD card slot with the metal contacts
facing down.
• The card is inserted correctly when a click
is heard.
CLEAR THE ANTENNA
The camera comes with an antenna mount that
holds and protects the antenna during shipping.
You have to remove it. This will allow you to move
and point your antenna in the desired direction.
Save and reuse the mount to protect your anten-
na during future trips.

CHOOSING A PHOTO TRANSMISSION PLAN FOR YOUR CAMERA
Go to www.spypoint.com/en/spypoint-experience/plans
to read the latest oers and choose the plan that suits you.
CONFIGURING YOUR CAMERA
Both the SPYPOINT app and website let you congure all the
camera settings remotely. They also provide basic information
on your camera – such as: cellular signal strength, battery level,
and microSD card space used. This information is based upon
the latest connection with your camera.
New settings take eect every time the camera connects with
app or website.
Note that for 15 minutes after the camera is turned ON, it will
communicate with the server every time it takes a photo and will
also apply the settings you have chosen. Afterwards, it will com-
municate according to the default settings (transfer frequency/
rst transfer time) or those you chose to apply. Below are the
most basic settings you will congure.

ENGLISH
12
CONFIGURATION: MAIN SETTINGS
Delay: Allows you to set the time interval between each detection
before the camera records the next photo or video.
Multi-shot: Allows you to set the number of photos per detection
(up to 2) with a 5-second delay between each photo.
Sensitivity: Allows you to set the detection sensitivity of the
camera.
Camera name: Allows you to name each owned camera.
CELLULAR SETUP
First transfer time:Allows you to choose the time when the
camera makes its rst transfer of the day.
Transfer frequency:Allows you to choose the number of daily
transfers.
ADVANCED OPTIONS/CONFIGURATION
Schedule:Allows you to set the period of operation for each day
of the week. For a 24-hour operation mode, both the start and
stop times must be 12 AM.
NOTE
Camera transfers are set by default to 4-hour intervals deter-
mined from the time you activated your camera. For example,
if your camera was activated at 1:42p.m., the next transfer will
take place at 5:42p.m.

ENGLISH

STARTING YOUR CAMERA
1. Turn ON the camera.
2. The green STATUS light will ash while searching for a signal
(can take a few minutes).
3. The STATUS light will light up in one of the following 3 colors:
Red: Insucient signal
Orange: Acceptable signal
Green: Optimal signal
4. When the top right light ashes red, 30 seconds remain
before the photo mode is turned ON. This allows you to leave
the area without being photographed.
5. The camera is ready for use when all the lights turn OFF.
6. If the light is red during step 3, you should:
• Turn your camera OFF and then back ON.
• Retry while pointing the antenna at dierent angles.
• Try moving it to a spot with better signal.
• Try our #CA 01 long range cellular antenna (sold separately),
which could help improve signal strength.
INSTALLING YOUR CAMERA
1. Mount the camera using the installation strap.
2. The camera should be at the same height as the animal’s
mid-body.
3. The targeted animal should be at 25 feet (7.5 meters) away
from the camera.
4. To produce brighter photos at night, there sould be items
reecting the camera's ash in the background.

DISPOSAL
ONLY USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.
If, one day, your camera has been used so intensively that it has
to be replaced, or if you no longer have any use for it, you are
obliged to dispose of it at a recycling center.
Information on return points for your electrical appliance can be
obtained from your local waste disposal company or from your
local administrative oces.
Electrical appliances not only contain valuable recyclable raw
materials, but also substances which, if disposed of improperly,
can aect public health and the environment. Help ensure
that valuable raw materials are recycled by returning your old
appliance to a central collection point.
The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive)
symbol represents the obligation for the labeled camera to be
sent to a separate center for the proper recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment.
