Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Vivicam 3630 Digital Camera. Please read the following
precautions carefully before using the product.

• This camera is not water-resistant and should not be used outdoors in snow

or rain. If accidentally dropped in water, please quickly pour out the water and
dry the camera in sunlight or using an air-blower.

• Protect the camera from excessive humidity. It will fog the lens and images will

be blurred.

• Do not expose the camera to sand or dust.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Always send it to an

authorized service facility for repair.

• To store the camera, wrap it in a clean, soft cloth and place it in a cool, dry,

dust-free place. Do not place the camera directly under the sun or in extreme
heat.

• Take care of the lens. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean it.
