These batteries need to be charged before the units can be used. 2. To charge a unit, plug the large end of the included USB cord to the USB jack on a computer or standard USB hub. Then plug the small end of the cord into the mini USB port on the right side of the Linx. The screen will light up and the EyeSpy logo will be seen. Let the Linx charge for three hours. Repeat the operation for the second Linx unit. Add USB Cable 9. The blue CALL button is pressed to let the other user know you want to commu-
nicate. Both units must be on. When the CALL button is pressed the word CALL-

"Low battery" indicated EXPLANATION OF EACH FUNCTION 10. When the screen is on a blue battery icon appears in the upper right corner. A solid blue icon shows that the battery is fully charged. As the power is used a ring will disappear. After more use a second ring vanishes. At this point, with only one ring showing, the available usage time is limited. When the battery needs charging the screen will go black. 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. 5. 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 (105F or 41C), since extreme temperature could ignite a fire.
