Using the Optional AC Power Adapter

Flash Memory

The camera features 2 MB (Megabytes) of internal memory for storing images. This memory, called “Flash Memory”, in non-volatile. This means that the memory does not require electrical power to retain images. Therefore, you will not loose your images when the camera is turned off, if you change batteries, or if you remove batteries for a period of extended storage. If the batteries go dead, simply insert a new set of batteries, or connect the optional AC power supply and you will be able to retrieve and view the previously captured images. The only exception is if the power actually goes off as an image is being saved. In that case, only the “image in process” will be lost.

Extended Flash Memory

You may extend the memory capability of your camera by adding a Compact Flash Memory card. This card is a removable “ATA-compatible” memory device that gives your camera additional memory. For each additional 2MB you can take 32 extra images in Normal-Quality mode, or 16 pictures in High-Quality mode. Think of CF cards as simply “digital film.” (Reusable, no less.)

To insert a Compact Flash Memory card, invert the camera, and open the long, narrow card slot door on the bottom of the camera by sliding the door in the direction of the arrow. Now, look at your CF card and locate the one edge with about fifty tiny holes. This edge will go into the CF slot to engage the pins inside the camera. Position the card so that the face of the CF card faces opposite the front face of the camera itself. Insert the CF card until it makes a gentle snap. Notice how the CF eject-button appears, and rises to a level in- line with the top of the properly inserted and seated CF card. Have no fear. If you have the card upside down it will simply not insert due to the protective guardrails. Of course, never use excessive force with the CF card. Finally, close the card slot cover and the camera memory is adjusted automatically. As soon as a CF card is inserted, the camera will use the CF memory for storage and playback functions.

To remove the card, open the CF door and push the eject button. You may wish to use the tip of a key, or similar object to help press the small eject-button.

One word of caution, however. Do not insert or remove a CF card while the camera is On or in the process of storing an image. You may potentially destruct the CF card or camera. Always power off before adding or removing a CF card.

To operate the camera using standard AC power, use the optional 6.0 VDC/2.5 Amp AC Adapter.

∙Always be sure to use the correct AC adaptor. This power supply provides 2.5 Amps of regulated 6 VDC. Any other adaptor may cause damage to the camera that is not covered under the warranty.

∙Grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging the adapter from a wall socket.

∙If the power cord is damaged (exposed wires, etc.), replace it immediately. Use of a damaged cord may cause fire or electrical shock.
