IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
For LI-ION / POLYMER BATTERIES
• You must read these safety instructions and warnings before using or charging your battery.
• Never disassemble the Linx or try to remove the battery.
• While generally safe, Lithium-Polymer batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the below
instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
• Lithium-Polymer battery may explode and cause fire if misused or defective.
• When charging the battery, please place it on a fire resistant surface. Do not leave the Linx on
a wood surface or on paper, carpet, or grass. Do not leave the unit unattended while it is
charging. If at any time you witness the Linx starting to swell up, emit smoke or feel hot,
discontinue charging process immediately, disconnect the Linx and observe it in a safe place
for approximately 15 minutes. The battery may be leaking, and the reaction with air may cause
the chemicals to ignite, resulting in fire. In the unlikely event of this occurring, please contact us
via the EyeSpy website www.eyespytoys.com or call our Customer Assistance Line at 1866 469 9686.
•
Never store or charge the Linx inside your car in extremely warm temperatures (105ºF or 41ºC),
since extreme temperature could ignite a fire.
• Never drop the Linx, as this may cause a battery to leak.
Never point the Linx camera at a very strong light source such as the sun, a nearby
floodlight or car headlight or a powerful flashlight. This may destroy the camera and
screen. If this occurs, you should return the unit to us for repair or replacement at your
expense.

button under the left side of the screen to

and also to position yourself on the
screen so that the other person can see
you in frame.
