GETTING STARTED
You can use 2 AA size batteries (Alkaline, Ni-MH) to power the camera.
Installing Batteries
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Slide the battery/memory card cover in the direction of the [OPEN] arrow.
3. Insert the batteries, noting correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Close the battery/memory card cover firmly.
Note:
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the
camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use manganese batteries.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the
battery life and reduce camera performance.
When the   icon appears on the LCD monitor, the LED indicator will blink for 5 seconds and then
the camera will automatically power off.  Replace the exhausted batteries with a new set of
batteries.

Inserting an SD Memory Card (optional accessory)
The ViviCam 3750 comes with internal memory, allowing you to store images and video
clips in the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an
optional SD (Secure Digital) memory card so that you can store additional images and
video clips.
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Slide the battery/memory card cover in the direction
of the [OPEN] arrow.
3. Insert an SD memory card:
The front side of the memory card (printed
arrow) should face towards the front side of
the camera.
If the card cannot be inserted, check the  orientation.
This ViviCam 3750 is also compatible with the MultiMediaCardTM.
4. Close the battery/memory card cover.
To remove a memory card:
Make sure the camera is turned off. Open the battery/memory card cover. Press lightly
on the edge of the memory card and it will eject.
Note:
To prevent valuable data from being accidentally
erased from an SD memory card you can slide the
write protect tab (on the side of the SD memory card)
to LOCK.
To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card,
you must unlock the card.

Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and
compression ratio for your images.  These settings affect the number of images that
can be stored in memory, or on a memory card.  As you get to know the ViviCam 3750,
it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation
for the effects that these settings will have on your images.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but
produce large files sizes.  Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations
requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space
and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page.
To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:
1. Power on the camera. (If already on, toggle the MODE button to  the 
  mode.)
2. Toggle the  
 button to select the image size or image quality you prefer.
