Notes on Batter y Usage

 Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your ViviCa\
m 3760. Use of unsuitable batteries
may result in the batteries splitting, or leaking and may cause a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.

  When placing the batteries into the ViviCam 3760
, check the polarity markings on the batteries (- and +) to

ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly. Incorrect battery polarity will result in ViviCam inoperability
and may result in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.

  Remove the batteries if the ViviCam 3760 will not be used for an extende\
d period of time. The batteries may leak
and cause a fire, injury or soiling of the battery compartment. If the batteries leak, clean and wipe the battery
compartment carefully and install new batteries. Wash your hands carefully if you touch the battery fluid.
When using batteries, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions and the
notes described below:

 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are highly recommended. To maximize performance and lifetime, we recommend
that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete cycle before use.

 Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and
r educe digital cameras performance. Low temperature will adversely affect alkaline battery performance.

 Using new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not been used for an extended period of
time will affect the number of images that can be captured.

 If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, r\
emove them from the camera to prevent
leakage or corrosion.

 Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries. Never use manganese\
 batteries.

 More information about batteries is provided in this manual in subsequent sections.

INTRODUCTION
Over view
Your new ViviCam 3760 delivers good quality, 2032 x 1520 resolution images using a 3.0 Megapixels CCD sensor.
An auto-flash sensor automatically detects the shooting (lighting) conditions and determines whether the flash
should be used. This feature helps ensure that your images turn out right.
6MB internal (built-in) memory allows you to capture and store images without the immediate need for an additional
memory card. However, you may wish to expand capacity by using a Secure Digital (SD) memory card.
In addition to still images, you can record short videos using the movie function. Images you have taken can be
downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver is required for Windows 98SE). You can enhance
and retouch your images on your computer by using the provided editing software, or image editing software you
may already own. You may share your images with your friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.
