Parent Quick Start Guide (9940,9950) 

 

While Professional Digital Telescope is easy to install and use, the initial 

hardware and software setup must be done 

by an adult

. Please follow 

the instructions below to get started. 

 

It is important to install the software first. This telescope will work on 

computers equipped with a USB 1.1 port (USB 2.0 recommended) and 

Windows® 2000, Windows® XP SP2 or Windows® Vista. Driver 

installation for Windows® 2000 system is mandatory. 

Driver installation 

for XP SP2 and Vista systems is optional and only required if your 

computer has issues using this telescope in driverless mode.

 

 

1. 

Insert the installation CD. 

 

2. 

Wait for the autoplay to start. 

(If Autoplay does not automatically launch the installer, go to the 

desktop and double-click on the icon named My Computer. 

Double-click the icon for the CD-ROM/DVD drive that contains the E. 

Telescope software. Sometimes this will cause Autoplay to start. If it 

doesn’t, double-click on the autorun.exe, and follow the setup steps 

on this page.) 

 

3. 

This step is optional for Windows XP SP2 and Vista users, you do 

not need to install driver. You can jump to step 4. However, you can 

install driver if you really want to. 

For Windows 2000 users, you 

must install driver first: 

Connect the telescope’s USB plug to the 

USB port of the computer. Install the telescope driver by clicking 

“Install Driver”. Follow the on screen instructions to complete the 

installation. 

 

4. 

Install the ArcSoft camera suite by clicking “Install PhotoImpression” 

and “Install VideoImpression” on the menu screen. Input the license 

key found on the CD sleeve if prompted. 

 

5. 

Follow the steps by clicking the appropriate buttons. 

 

6. 

You need the Adobe Acrobat Reader software to open the manual. 

Click “Install Adobe Acrobat Reader” if your computer does not have 

this software. 

7. 

If you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed, you can 

read the manuals for the Digital Telescope and the camera suite by 

clicking “Telescope Manual” and “ArcSoft Application Software 

Manual” on the menu screen respectively.   

 

8. 

Insert the telescope’s USB plug to the USB port of the computer. A 

new device named “USB 2.0 Camera” will be detected on the first 

time the telescope is plugged in. Start the PhotoImpression or 

VideoImpression application to acquire image with the digital 

telescope. 

 

 

 

Under the environment with electrostatic discharge, the device 

may malfunction and require user to reset the device.
