STARTING YOUR CELL-LINK
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 dier from
those shown on other cellular devices as there is no industry standard or
practice to label DBM values to a specic number of bars.
5. All lights OFF – CELL-LINK ready
Shut the CELL-LINK door. The CELL-LINK has updated its status
SPYPOINT app and website with its latest information. The
