Cool-Icam CIC-150, Micro C@m User Manual

1. Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Micro C@m. Using the latest innovations in technology the Micro C@m offers fun, affordable and easy to use digital imaging.

Although you probably want to get started right away, please take a few minutes to read this guide and familiarise yourself with your new Micro C@m. Your new Micro C@m will take 20 Hi-Res (High Resolution) or 80 Low-Res (Low Resolution) images, which you upload to your PC (Personal Computer) running Windows® 98SE, Me, 2000, XP or Macintosh® running OS 8.6 - 9.2 via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.

You can also use your Micro C@m to capture not only snaps of your family and friends, but also video clips of them in action.

Your Micro C@m can also be used as a Web Cam. If you have an internet connection and microphone (not supplied) you can chat face-to-face with friends and colleagues, conferencing in real time.

Please note that your images are stored on your Micro C@m’s internal memory. When you have taken your images, the Micro C@m will wait for 30 seconds and then automatically switch to Stand-by mode, which draws a constant trickle of power from the battery. When the LCD display blinks, all stored images must have been uploaded and saved as otherwise they will be lost.
