Dear customer,

Thank you for choosing the Oregon Scientific ATC-1000 .

Designed and engineered with extreme precision, the Oregon Scientific

ATC-1000 includes the Oregon Scientific Action Lab 1.0 CD-ROM,

which allows you to take digital photos and record cool action movie clips.

The Oregon Scientific Action Lab 1.0 CD-ROM provides loads of video and photo

fun. You can create your own sports videos with different sound effects and

animations. We recommend parents help their children with their Oregon Scientific

ATC-1000 . This manual is designed using technical information in order to allow you

to achieve the best results. Some children may require your guidance setting up,

learning and understanding how to use the different aspects of

the ATC-1000 and its software.

Your use of the Oregon Scientific Action Lab 1.0 CD-ROM is subject to a License Agreement contained inside the CD.

I) Camera Precautions

Notice the following guidelines when using your camera.

• For your safety, do not press buttons on the camera during sports activities

• Do not place this camera in a damp or dusty location for extended periods of time. This may cause a fire or an electrical shock.

• Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high temperatures, such as in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This may effect the camera case and internal components.

• When the lens is dirty, please clean it with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other). If there is a fingerprint or other spot that cannot be removed with a blower, then wipe in a spiraling motion using a soft cloth.

• The working temperature range of a normal AAA battery is 0 - 45°C. Above or below this temperature the functionality of the batteries will be effected.

• Remove the batteries and memory card before storing the camera for long periods of time.

Then, keep it in a well-ventilated place in order to prevent molding.

• Under the following circumstances, have the camera repaired by qualified personnel. a) The plug is damaged or worn. b) The device has been dropped and/or the casing has been damaged. c) Liquid has entered the camera.

Although your

ATC-1000

is splash-resistant, you should not submerge the camera or expose it to the rain. You should also avoid dropping it, as the camera is not ‘shock-proof’. If you want to use your

ATC-1000

for watersports, check with your Oregon Scientific dealer about the availability of

our waterproof case.
