PREPARING YOUR VIVICAM 3785
Installing the Batteries (Optional Accessor y)
Y ou may use 2 AA size batteries (either Alkaline or Ni-MH) to power you\
r Vivicam
3785.  Most often the Vivicam 3785 will be shipped with two AA alkaline batteries.
These batteries are adequate to power-up the camera and demonstrate its
functionality for a limited period of time.  Alkaline batteries are not recommended
for long-term use or extensive photography, however.  A better choice is re-
chargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries.  NiMH rechargeable AA
batteries offer considerably better life with the added advantage of cost-effec-
tive recharging.  The Vivicam 3785 can also use CR-V3 batteries.  CR-V3 Lithium
batteries are available in most stores where batteries are sold.  Lithium batter-
ies offer considerably better longevity.  Rechargeable CR-V3 batteries are also
available on the market.
To  install or replace the batteries:
1. Make sure your Vivicam 3785  is off.
2. Slide the battery/SD card cover.
3. Insert the batteries noting the correct polarity marks (+ or -).
4. Close the battery/SD card cover. Slide into locked position.
Attaching the Camera Strap
To  prevent accidentally dropping your Vivicam 3785 , always use the
camera strap.
Attach the camera strap as follows:
1. Thread the small loop of the strap through the strap eyelet on the Vivicam 3785 .
2. Pull the large loop through the small loop until the strap is firmly secured.

Using an SD Memor y Card (Optional Accessor y)
Your Vivicam 3785 comes with approximately 6MB of internal memory,
allowing you to store images and video clips in the Vivicam 3785. However,
you can expand the memory capacity by using a Secure Digital (SD)  memory
card. Optional SD memory cards provide removable, reusable storage for
images and video clips.
1. Make sure your Vivicam 3785 is off.
2. Open the SD card/battery cover.
3. Insert the SD memory card. (Contact pins first)

 If the card cannot be inserted, check the orientation.
4. Close the SD card/battery cover.
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.

If a memory card is present in the Vivicam 3785; the camera will
automatically use the card in preference to internal memory.

Be sure to format the memory card with this Vivicam 3785 before its
initial usage.

The Vivicam 3785, like most digital cameras will automatically use a memory card if it is inserted into the
memory card slot.  This is called °ßcard preference°®.  Data stored in internal memory will not be accessible
if a memory card is present.  To again access your data stored in internal memory, simply remove the SD card.
To remove an SD memory card
1. Make sure your Vivicam 3785 is off.
2. Open the SD card/battery cover.
3. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will eject.
Note:

Memory cards may become warm during use; observe caution when removing memory cards.

When a memory card is removed from the Vivicam 3785; the camera will automatically revert to using internal
memory.
