REMOVE THE CAMERA FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET
• Push the tab to release the camera from the mounting bracket.
• Remove the camera.
CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
Charge the camera for 24-48 hours before use. While charging,
make sure the camera is turned off and the solar panel is facing
down so it does not interfere with the USB charging process.
Plug the 12V-USB cable from the 12V port at the bottom of the
camera and connect it to a USB port. Once plugged, the screen will
turn on and it will show the charging battery level for 10 seconds.
Press the OK button once more to see the battery level reappear.
FINDING THE SIM ID
The SIM ID number can be found in the battery case. You will need
this number to complete the registration of the LINK-EVO camera
and connect to the application.

INSERT THE MEMORY CARD
Insert an SD/SDHC memory card (up to 32 GB capacity) in the card
slot with the label side facing upward. The card is inserted correctly
when a click is heard. Always ensure that the camera power is OFF
before inserting an SD card.
We suggest to format your SD card if it’s been in another
electronic device.

We suggest to format your SD card if it’s been in another
electronic device.
Turn On the camera and let it do the network search as it can take a
few minutes. Once the network search will be completed, you’ll see
the signal strength appear. If you have no signal, move outside or get
near a window and restart the camera a few times if need be to get all
the information from the cell network.
Note that the signal bars on a LINK-S might not be equal to your
other cellular devices as there’s no industry standard and practice to

Click on Start Camera and select the desired operating mode (pho-
to, time lapse or video) in the Mode menu by pressing OK. If you

the Photo First setting.

latest informations. The camera is now ready to take pictures and
transmit them to your LINK app upon the next synch. Synchs are set
by default to every 4 hours from midnight.
