It’s so valuable that you don't have to pay thrice to buy three fashionable devices of
PC Camera, Debugging and IrDA ware now because we have integrated them into
our EscoCAM in the shape of a lovely whale to escort your system. The whale is the
king of the sea and the symbol of all-mighty power. With PC camera, Debug, CPU
heat monitor and IrDA device built into the EscoCAM, we offers you the unbeatable
solution to upgrade the value of your PC system.
1. PC Camera:
As video and audio email is gaining popularity, PC cameras are making inroads into
PC systems and it will increasingly become a standard PC peripheral. In view of this
strong market demand, we has timely launched its state-of-the-art PC cameras.
Besides, our PC Camera is allowed to adjust the Focus of Camera via Keyboard
or mouse instead of wheel. It’s a patent design in PC Camera. Hope you enjoy
this new technology.
2. External Debug :
When initializing system, LCD will check the peripherals of CPU, Chipset, DRAM,
BIOS, Keyboard, CMOS, VGA card, Devices, FDD, HDD and Cache…Once
peripherals were not been properly installed or defective, the LCD display will show
out the detective place. After system successfully booted up, Time & Date, CPU
Temperature, CPU V-Core Voltage, CPU Fan Speed will take turn to show out on the
LCD display.
Advantages of Debug Device For User:
In comply with fast development of IT and e-Commerce, the time of people
12
Page 13
User’s Manual
to stay together with PC is beyond what we can image. Eventually,
prolonged use of PC is unavoidable to cause high defect rate. Especially,
when warranty is over, user is not in a position to bargain the upraising repair
cost. The worse is that users are always overcharged when they have don’t
have any sense about defect status. However, once PC system is equipped
with basic debugging devices, user is able to easily understand how far the
hardware problem going; thereby drastically minimize the time and cost from
RMA.
3. Monitor CPU Temp. And FAN Working Status:
Audio, video and multi-tasking functions call for faster and faster CPUs to
improve system efficiency. However, faster CPUs will generate more heat
which must be dissipated in a timely manner. Therefore, a more efficient
fans to dissipate heat is as important as watch-out of fan working situation.
In this Internet era, people are using their computers for longer and longer
time which can easily cause overheat and damage to the CPU. Prolonged
use of the computer will increase CPU temperature. It is therefore necessary
to have a device to constantly monitor the CPU temperature, CPU fan speed
and V-Core voltage and timely remind user.
4. IrDA For Data Transmission :
As more and more computers, notebook, mobile phone and PDA are
installed with the IrDA device for wireless transmission, we add in this extra
value in the EscoCAM.

Do not update the BIOS if no abnormalities occur. However, if BIOS update
is needed, consult your dealer first. Prior to updating your BIOS, you
are recommended to save the original BIOS values.
1. Download the AMI BIOS Flash Utility file (AMIFL818.exe)
2. Download the BIOS file used by your mainboard(e.g., xxx.BIN)
3. Reboot your system (but do not run Himem.sys and Emm386.exe)
to execute the new BIOS program.
4. Execute these commands: AMIFL818 xxx.BIN

Further Guide to Audio Software :
1. Making sure the Operating System has been properly installed prior to the
installation of the PCI Sound Drivers. Otherwise, the Onboard PCI Audio might
be recognized as an “Other Device”.

2. For featuring Wave-Table drivers as a MIDI output device, just select
MULTIMEDIA from the Control Panel. Select the MIDI tab → Click “C-
media SoftMidi Synthesis ( Win 98) / Driver ( Win 95)” → Click OK to
complete.
3. Audio Rack, a Windows application, is provided to control all the Audio
functions for simply working as a high quality home stereo system.
4. For featuring MIDI port as the control interface, just select MULTIMEDIA from
the Control Panel. Select the MIDI tab → Click “C-M8738 MPU-401” (Win
98) or “DM8738/C3DX PCI Audio External MIDI Port” (Win 95) → Click
OK to complete.
The Four Speakers System
This onboard Audio System supports 2 wave channels (Front/rear) known as the 4
speakers system. For achieving simulation of realistic 3D sound effect through a 4
speakers, just to run applications which is featured with DirectSound 3D or A3D
Audio interface.
Mixer Setup
After setting up the PCI Audio Application, a 4-speakers option appears in the the
Mixer. Just click on the 4 Speakers icon to achieve this option. The rear speakers
will output only via Line-in/Rear jack now. So, when Line-in/Rear jack is occupied
by a Line-in device, Do Not enable this option to avoid hardware conflict.
