Cool-Icam Plus User Manual

1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Cool-iCam Plus. Using the latest innovations in technology
the Cool-iCam Plus offers fun, affordable and easy to use digital imaging.
Although you probably want to get started right away, please take a few minutes to read this
guide and familiarise yourself with your new Cool-iCam Plus. Your new Cool-iCam Plus will
take 80 Hi-Res (Normal Resolution) or 322 Low-Res (Economy Resolution) images, which you
upload to your PC (Personal Computer) running Windows® 98 and Windows® Me or
Macintosh™ running OS 8.6 - 9 via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
You can also use your Cool-iCam Plus to capture not only snaps of your family and friends,
but also video and audio clips of them in action.
Your Cool-iCam Plus can also be used as a Web Cam. If you have an internet connection and
microphone (not supplied) you can chat face-to-face with friends and colleagues, conferencing
in real time.
Cool-iCam Plus comes with Time Lapse Photography. You can set your Cool-iCam Plus to
operate on its own throughout the day at predetermined intervals and take a series of images.
With this technique, you can make for example high speed video clips of:-
• changing cloud and weather formations
• watch the hands of a clock speed round in double quick time
• watch the tide go in and then out
• watch a flower open as the sun rises
The effects are amazing.
Please note that your images and audio clips are stored on your Cool-iCam Plus's internal
memory. When you have taken your images and audio clips, the Cool-iCam Plus will wait for
30 seconds and then automatically switch to Stand-by mode, which draws a constant trickle of
power from the battery. To preserve battery life, there is an ON/OFF button, however when
the Cool-iCam Plus is physically turned OFF, all stored images must have been uploaded and
saved as otherwise they will be lost.
