    3. To return to the main screen without deleting any file, press the Select button twice. DO NOT press 
    the Shutter button.  
    Deleting All Images and Videos  
    1. Press and hold the Select  button for one second.  The Delete Last icon will appear on the 
    status LCD. Toggle to the Delete ALL  icon by pressing the Select  button again.   
    2. Press the Shutter button to delete ALL images and videos stored in the memory. The camera will 
    beep to confirm that all files have been deleted from memory.  
    3. To return to the main screen without deleting any files, press the Select  button again.  DO NOT 
    press the Shutter button.  
    4. Please note that if a memory card is used, the camera will delete images from the memory card 
    only.  If you want to delete images from internal memory, please remove the memory card and 
    select Delete ALL again. 
    Depending on the mode, the status LCD will display the following information: 
    Image mode: number of images that can be stored in memory 
    Movie mode: duration of a video that can be stored in memory (in seconds or minutes) 
     
    After a deletion the status display updates to reflect the amount of memory.  Because images of different 
    resolution (one, two, or three-stars) occupy different amounts of memory, the number of images displayed on 
    the status LCD may or may not change. 
    Note: Delete ALL is the equivalent of formatting the memory card or the internal memory. Please download all 
    your images and videos before “deleting all”.  Refer to the section “Downloading Files to Your PC”.

    Camera Maintenance 
    Caring for Your Camera  
    Do not store or use the camera in the following environments: 
    · Very humid, dirty or dusty places 
    · In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme temperatures, such as in a closed car during 
    summer 
    · Extremely cold places 
    · Places that are subject to strong vibrations, smoke, or steam 
    · Places that are subject to strong magnetic fields (near motors, transformers or magnets) 
    · Places with chemicals such as pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time 
    · In the rain or snow 
    Operational & Storage Environment 
    Store your ViviCam 3345 in a cool, dry place if you do not intend to use it for a long period of time. Remove the 
    batteries if the camera will not be used for more than 10 days.  Do not exceed the following temperature and 
    humidity ranges when using and storing your ViviCam 3345. 
    Operating Temperature 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C) Operating Humidity 30% - 90% RH Storage Temperature -40°F - 158°F (-40°C - 70°C) Storage Humidity 10% - 85% RH  
    Cleaning the ViviCam 3345 
    Use a small soft brush or lens pen to remove dust from the lens and LCD surface.  Wipe the surface lightly with 
    a soft, lint-free dry cloth.  If needed, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of lens cleaning 
    paper and wipe it gently.  Do not apply cleaning liquid directly to the lens.  Do not touch the lens with your 
    fingers.  Do not scratch any part of the camera with sharp objects. Clean the camera’s body with a soft, dry cloth. 
    Do not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzene or insecticide, as these may react with camera body 
    and cause deformation to the camera.

     18TROUBLESHOOTING  
     
    If any problems arise with the ViviCam 3345, refer to this troubleshooting chart: 
      
    Symptom Possible cause Solution The battery is drained. Change or recharge the battery. Also, 
    check for correct polarity (orientation) of 
    the batteries. The camera doesn’t turn on. Power button must be pressed for 3 to four seconds Press and hold the Power button until 
    “ON” appears in the status display Is the camera turned on? The camera powers off automatically after 60 seconds. Make sure the camera’s 
    power is ON before taking an image. Is the camera connected to a 
    computer? The camera’s buttons are not functional 
    when connected to a PC. Disconnect the 
    camera to capture more images. The light condition is 
    insufficient. Turn the flash mode to Flash ON. The camera won’t capture a 
    image. 
    The camera is processing. Wait for the camera to store files. The 
    image number blinks at status LCD while 
    the camera is processing and stops 
    blinking when the camera is ready for use. I can’t download images to the 
    PC. Connection may have failed. Check to ensure that all connections are 
    secure. Look for Removable Disk under 
    My Computer. I get a blurred image when 
    downloading my images to my computer. There may be a momentary 
    delay between pressing the 
    shutter button and the actual 
    exposure. Hold your ViviCam 3345 steady until you 
    hear a “beep” which indicates the 
    exposure is completed.
