LINK-MICRO-S-LTE PRESENTATION
The LINK-MICRO-S-LTE is one of the many hunting cameras of the SPYPOINT
brand. What distinguishes it is, rst of all, its dimension. The cameras of the
MICRO series are the smallest on the market, which allows, in addition to their
camo color, to hide them easily.
The LINK-MICRO-S-LTE is also a cellular camera, i.e. it allows you to remotely,
through the cellular application associated to it:
• Transfer to your smartphone or tablet the photos taken.
• View your photos.
• Check the status of your device.
• Do the complete programming of the device.
It is also a solar camera. Therefore, it oers an interesting autonomy in terms
of power supply. It is delivered with a very powerful lithium battery pack that
is powered as soon as the integrated solar panel detects light.
Its robust design, simple operation, reliable connection (LTE network), quick
triggering upon motion detection, and more aordable price make it a unique
and extremely popular product among hunting enthusiasts.

SPYPOINT
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.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE, CHARGE
THE LITHIUM BATTERY PACK
• Remove the lithium battery pack from the
packaging. It is shipped with the camera.
• Using ONLY the supplied micro-USB cable and a
5 V wall outlet charger (not included), recharge
the battery pack for about 12 hours. Plug the
end of the cable (micro-USB part) in the battery
pack provided for this purpose. Then plug the
other end (USB part) into a wall outlet adapter.
• 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.
OPERATION
• The solar panel is not an autonomous power source for your camera. Its only
function is to maintain the charge of the lithium battery or to slowly charge
it. The solar panel will be eective as soon as ambient solar energyis detected.
• Make sure there are no objects or elements obstructing the solar panel
(e.g.: snow). If it is partially covered, the solar panel will still work, but to a
limited extent. For optimal performance, it must be completely clear.

• Under optimal conditions (a conguration that consumes little energy), the
energy and a sunny environment), the power supply of the camera will be
autonomous.
• 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 o, the solar panel will continue to power the battery
pack. However, for a quick and complete recharge, connect the battery pack
to a wall outlet using the supplied 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.

WARNING
The LIT-10 contains safety and protective devices which, if damaged, may
generate heat, rupture, or ignite and cause serious injuries.
Be sure to follow the safety rules below:
• Do not modify the battery pack.
• Do not place the battery pack in a re or close to a heat source exceeding
60 °C (140 °F). Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle in hot
weather.
• If the battery pack 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 pack if it looks abnormal in any way (discolored or
deformed). If the battery pack 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%).
AN EXTERNAL 12 V BATTERY
• The camera was designed to
recognize and use an optional
power source other than the
lithium battery pack.
• You can purchase a 12 V cable
and battery kit (like the #KIT12V,
sold separately). 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.
MANAGING VARIOUS CAMERA POWER SUPPLY
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.
NOTE
• Using an external 12 V battery source does not recharge the lithium
battery pack.
• The camera’s integrated solar panel will not recharge the external 12 V battery.
You can check the battery level of your device:
• In the application: on the home page, you will see the battery charge level
for each of your devices. You can access more details on the status of your
battery by going to the STATUS page. When the battery logo turns red, we
suggest that you recharge the battery pack before it is completely drained.
• On the device: as soon as the device is switched on, when the status light
ashes orange, it indicates that the battery level is low.

INSTALLING A MICROSD CARD (NOT INCLUDED)
The use of a memory card is necessary for the operation of the camera. It is used to save pictures and other
camera status les. Note that photos in their original format are kept on the memory card. The photos sent
to your application are lighter versions. You can retrieve your photos at any time by removing the card from
the device and transferring the contents to another device (e.g.: computer).
Your camera requires a memory card type microSD, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB, sold separately.
Here is a table showing the approximate quantity of photos that can be recorded on the card, according to
dierent memory card capacities.
INSERTING YOUR MICROSD CARD
Before inserting the microSD card into your camera, it must be formatted via a computer to ensure
proper operations. Visit www.spypoint/support if you need help formatting your microSD card.
• Ensure 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.
REMOVING YOUR MICROSD CARD
• Before removing a memory card, always turn your camera OFF
to prevent les from on the card from being deleted or damaged.
• To remove the card, push it lightly into the camera until you hear a click.
Then take it out of the device.
