STEP 1. Prepare YOYOCam G3
1. An antenna is included and ready-mounted at delivery. To remove it, gently unscrew the nut by hand. To attach
it again or use a different antenna, align the plug with the antenna connector and screw it on gently by hand until
it is finger tight. Do not use tools.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover downwards.
3. Lift the battery cover away from the device.
4. Move the battery out of the way as shown.
•WARNING: Always be sure to switch off YOYOCam and disconnect the power before inserting or removing
the SIM card. Do not touch the gold contacts of the SIM Card.
•NOTE: The SIM PIN must be disabled. Use an ordinary mobile phone to check and, if necessary, turn off
SIM Lock.
•NOTE: Check that the SIM card has credit and is enabled for MMS.
5. Unlock and open the SIM card holder by sliding the clip upwards and then lifting it. Place the SIM card in the
holder as shown, gold contacts on the underside. Lower the retaining clip and lock it by sliding it downwards.
6. Insert the power connector and lead the power cable out to the left or right, as required.
7. Replace the battery and battery compartment cover.

4. Loosen the screw so that the angle can be adjusted.
5. Tighten the screw to fix YOYOCam in the desired position.
STEP 2. Mount YOYOCam G3
Note: The mount screw-thread is standard photographic size, so YOYOCam can, for example, be mounted

STEP 3. Set Up YOYOCam G3
1. Plug the power adaptor in to a wall outlet or socket strip.
2. Slide the power switch to the ON position to turn on YOYOCam
3. After approximately 40 seconds, YOYOCam bleeps to indicate
that the GSM network has been found.
4. From your mobile phone, send an SMS with text
#00# to the mobile
number of YOYOCam’s SIM card. YOYOCam confirms your phone as
Master by SMS, meaning that you have full control over YOYOCam.
5. The SMS responses are in Swedish when a Swedish SIM is inserted,
otherwise English. Send #127#1# to switch to English.
6. Network MMS settings are configured automatically for the major
networks. If your network operator is in the table to the right, you
must now send the command indicated in order to configure MMS.
7. Arm YOYOCam
• Send an SMS with text
#01# to arm YOYOCam
• Send an SMS with text #02# to disarm YOYOCam
YOYOCam is now operational.
When armed, YOYOCam will raise the alarm when a sensor detects
an event. By default, the built-in infrared body sensor is enabled and
camera movement detection is disabled. When the alarm is raised,
YOYOCam sends an SMS to the Master followed by an MMS with
images. Other options include voice call and E-Mail alarms. Detector,
image and alarm settings can be configured – see Using YOYOCam G3
and Complete Command List.

Remote Control
Press to arm YOYOCam.
Press to disarm YOYOCam.
When the Emergency button is pressed, YOYOCam acknowledges with a bleep. By default, YOYOCam calls the
Master and each added Emergency number in turn until someone answers, at which point that person can hear the
audio from YOYOCam. YOYOCam tries each number up to three times before giving up. The Status Indicator LED
displays ongoing voice call.
Note: If YOYOCam is set to call a landline, check that hanging up the landline clears the call; some telephone
networks do not clear the call when the called end hangs up, making it impossible to dial a new call. It is
recommended that emergency calls are made to mobile numbers.
Alternatively, send
#39#1# to the mobile number of YOYOCam to set SMS/MMS mode. When the Emergency
button is pressed YOYOCam acknowledges with a bleep, and sends an SMS alert followed by an MMS with an
image to the Master and each added Emergency number.
Note: YOYOCam responds to the Emergency button in both Armed and Unarmed states. If YOYOCam is busy,
for example sending images, the ongoing operation is cancelled in order to action the Emergency alarm.
Pairing your YOYOCam with a Remote Control
The supplied Remote Controls are individually paired with YOYOCam at delivery. They can be paired manually e.g.
after a factory reset of YOYOCam or to use one Remote Control for several YOYOCams. Up to five remotes can be
used with each YOYOCam; two are supplied.
1. Ensure that YOYOCam is on the GSM network during this procedure: Status Indicator or .
2. Make a short (less than one second) press and release of the RESET key. YOYOCam bleeps and LED
flashes orange indicating pairing mode.
3. Press any button on the remote control. YOYOCam bleeps and LED turns green for 2 seconds then
returns to orange flashing ready to pair another remote control.
4. Press RESET to exit pairing mode. In any case pairing mode times out after 15 seconds.

Poor GSM 2G coverage. Signal strength is enough for SMS, but not for MMS.
• Relocate YOYOCam to a place with better coverage
• Try a SIM-card from another mobile operator
• Use a high-gain external antenna with extension cable
YOYOCam G3 Troubleshooting Guide

Master receives SMS “External power lost...” followed by a new SMS “External power, resumed”
AC power was temporarily cut. This can sometimes be caused by electrical machinery or heating switching on or off,
and getting detected by YOYOCam.
• This has no functional impact on YOYOCam. The built-in back-up battery keeps it running.
•The SMS power notifications can be switched off by sending #144#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile number.
Master receives SMS saying that an incoming message is being forwarded.
Incoming SMS from unregistered users are forwarded to the Master. This is a security precaution in case someone is
trying to access YOYOCam. This function is also useful if operators notify when the credit is low.
• The forwarding function can be turned off by sending #204#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile number.
Master receives SMS every time YOYOCam is armed or disarmed by the Remote Control
This is to notify the Master if the arm/disarm status is changed.
• The arm/disarm notification can be switched off by sending #137#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile number.
Master receives SMS every time YOYOCam is armed or disarmed per preset schedule
This is to notify the Master that the arm/disarm status is changed.
• The arm/disarm notification is withheld by sending #176#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile number.
