1. Open the CELL-LINK door
2. Turn the CELL-LINK ON (ON/OFF switch)
3. All lights ashing – Searching for signal
The signal search can take a few minutes to process. If only 1 bar is ashing, the
network test is unsuccessful. Try moving the CELL-LINK (along with your camera)
to another spot in order to maximize signal strength, then restart the cellular
module. This operation might need to be repeated as the SPYPOINT SIM card and
services are powered by multiple providers. The network modem will maneuver
to ensure the strongest signal strength by searching for the best tower available
(cellular network).
4. Solid bars – Signal strength
Once the network test is completed, bars will stabilize showing the signal
strength. Note that signal bars displayed on the CELL-LINK can dier from those
shown on other cellular devices as there is no industry standard or practice to
label DBM values to a specic number of bars.
5. All lights OFF – CELL-LINK ready
Shut the CELL-LINK door. The CELL-LINK has updated its status in the SPYPOINT
app and website with its latest information. The
CELL-LINK is now ready to
grab the pictures taken by your trail camera and transmit them to you via the
SPYPOINT app or website upon its next transmission.
HERE ARE THE RECOMMENDED CAMERA SETTINGS FOR ENSURING
OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE OF YOUR CELLLINK:
•A low-resolution photo format.
•A delay no shorter than 1 minute between each detection.
•In time lapse mode, a delay no shorter than 1 minute.
STARTING YOUR CELL-LINK
NOTE:
Before starting the CELL-LINK, ensure you have successfully
congured your trail camera according to your preferences and
that you have done this by following your camera’s user manual.
NOTE:
The CELL-LINK doesn’t support video transfers. However, if you
congure your camera for having a photo taken before each video,
this photo will be sent out to you from the CELL-LINK.

adapter cable and insert the
end with the SD card into your
camera’s SD card slot.

adapter cable held tightly against
the case, direct the adapter cable
so that it exits from the bottom of
the camera case. The cable should
hang loosely below the camera.
(Avoid bringing the cable over
any critical components).
4. Shut the camera door and lock
the latch.
5. Flip the SD cable upward, sliding it up behind the camera, so that the CELL-LINK
connector sticks out from behind the top of your camera.
6. Mount your camera to the tree. (The CELL-LINK SD adapter cable should now be
found between the tree and camera)
7. Mount the CELL-LINK cellular module as close to your camera as possible.*
8. Connect the SD card cable connector to the CELL-LINK.
You can now access CELL-LINK photos, congurations, and statuses either via the

INSTALLING AND CONNECTING THE CELL-LINK
To connect the SPYPOINT CELL-LINK to your trail camera from any brand, follow
these steps (or view our video in the Help section):
NOTE:
It is strongly recommended to mount your CELL-LINK cellular
module directly above your camera leaving as little space as
possible between the two. Doing so will reduce the risk of having
animals cause damage to the cable.
If your cable memory card adapter gets damaged replacement
cables can be ordered separately.
