9. Connecting your 

Micro C@m

 to Your Computer

The USB cable allows you to upload images from the 

Micro C@m

 to your PC or Mac.  One end of the cable 

connects to the USB port on the side of the 

Micro C@m

 and the other end connects to your PC’s or Mac’s USB 

port.  When your 

Micro C@m

 is connected to your PC or Mac, it will draw power from the PC in order to preserve 

your battery life.

The USB port can be found on the front or back panel of your PC or Mac. Look for this symbol 

 next to the 

connection port. (Also see your PC or Mac operating manual for the location of your USB connection port.)
