1 Introduction

This instruction manual is for users of the TRUST SPYC@M 300. This camera can
be used to take photographs and record video clips. The camera can also be used
as a webcam for videoconferencing.

2 Safety

2.1 General 

information

Carefully read the following instructions before use.

-

 

The TRUST SPYC@M 300 does not require any special maintenance. Use a
slightly damp, soft cloth to clean the camera.

-

 

Do not use aggressive substances, such as white spirit, to clean the device.
These may harm the material.

-

 

Do not submerge the device in liquid. This may be dangerous and will
damage the device. Do not use this device near water.

-

 

Do not repair this device yourself.

2.2 Batteries

1. 

The alkaline batteries supplied with the camera are not rechargeable. Do
not try to recharge them, because this may cause them to explode.

2. 

Never throw the batteries onto an open fire. The batteries may explode.

3. 

Never drill holes into the batteries.

4. 

Keep the batteries out of the reach of small children.

5. 

Only use AAA alkaline or rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries with this
camera.

6. 

When the batteries are empty, ask your local authority where you can
dispose of them.

Note:

Standard NiCd batteries are unsuitable for use with this camera.

Note:

When the batteries are low or empty, all the photographs you
wish to keep should first be downloaded onto your computer and
saved before the batteries are replaced. All the photographs will
be deleted from the camera’s memory when the batteries are
replaced.

Note:

Do not use old and new batteries at the same time, because the
old batteries may deplete the new ones.

Note:

The batteries should be removed if the camera is not going to be
used for some time. This will save the battery capacity.
