1. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF HELLO KITTY
We have taken great care to make sure that this unit was in perfect working order when it left factory. It
has been designed to give you many years of enjoyment and trouble free operation. Read this manual
before operating this unit to become familiar with its features and obtain the performance that will bring
you continued enjoyment for many years.
You can use your Hello Kitty Digital Camera to capture not only snaps of your family and friends, but also
video clips of them in action! Upload the images and video clips to your computer (running Windows 98,
ME, 2000 or XP) via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
Please note that your images and videos are stored in your Hello Kitty Digital Camera’s internal memory.
After you have taken your images and videos, the Hello Kitty Digital Camera will wait for 30 seconds and
then automatically switch off. A constant trickle of power from the battery keeps the images and video
stored in memory. When the Battery Indicator on LCD Display blanks, at this time all stored images and
videos must be uploaded to your computer and saved, otherwise they will be lost.
For future reference, record the serial number in the space provided.
