Setting up Windows 98 and USB for use with a PDR-M70 digital camera.

COMMENTS:
The CD-ROM disk that comes with your camera includes the following 3 installation options.

Image Expert w/Camio Viewer
Let's you Download (Get), Manage, Enhance and Print your Images and Photo Albums w/Camio Viewer.

USB driver
The USB driver lets you use the USB cable to connect your PDR-M70 to a computer using
Windows 98 or Windows 2000.
Note: You will need either the FlashPath Floppy Adapter or the PC Card

Quicktime 4
You can play imported movies on PCs that have this software installed. Quicktime 4 also includes a program called Picture Viewer that lets you view pictures of various formats.

IMPORTANT:
Whenever you use the USB connection BOTH the camera and the computer MUST BE be turned on BEFORE connecting the USB cable to either device.

Note - I recommend using AC power when installing the USB option for the first time USB setup and anytime your camera's battery is less than half full.

Remember - Make sure the camera is off before plugging in it's AC Adapter. If the AC Adapter is plugged in while the computer is on there is a chance that camera settings will reset or that the camera itself will malfunction.

DO NOT plug the USB cable into either the camera or the computer until instructed to do so.

What you need:
Camera
- Toshiba Still Camera CD-ROM disk (or disks)
- AC Adapter
- USB cable that came with your computer

- USB port
- CD-ROM drive ( or floppy)
- Windows 98, ME or Windows 2000

SmartMedia Precautions:

• To remove the SmartMedia from the PDR-M70 when the PDR-M70 is connected to your personal computer by the USB cable, use the following procedure.
  1. Right click the drive icon in My Computer and select Eject.
  2. Make sure the viewfinder lamp on the PDR-M70 is not lit, and remove the SmartMedia.
  Note: If you remove the SmartMedia without doing this, the USB connection will be broken and may cause your personal computer to malfunction.
• To restore the connection, either reconnect the USB cable, or reboot your personal computer.
  

More notes about the SmartMedia memory cards in your camera:
SmartMedia cards are precision electronic devices and special care should be used with them.

• Remove and insert a SmartMedia card only with the camera's power off.
• Never remove a SmartMedia card or switch the camera OFF during data recording or during data erasing(SmartMedia formatting). These actions might damage the SmartMedia.
• Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the PDR-M70. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera.
• DO NOT bend, drop or expose the SmartMedia to excessive shock.
  Note: Don't stick SmartMedia cards loose in a pocket or in a purse where they can get bumped, mashed or bent.
• DO NOT expose the SmartMedia card to static electricity or electrical noise.
• DO NOT use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or corrosive environments.
