Installing the Photo Traveler Drivers and Software

Before you can use the full function of your Photo Traveler Camera, the drivers and software must be installed first.

Note: Palm Desktop software must be installed in order to install the Photo

Traveler software.

1) Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Autorun will display the Photo

Traveler Installation screen.

*

2) Click Install to start the Photo Traveler Installation.

3) Follow the prompts to finish the installation.

**

4) Plug your Palm handheld into the cradle and plug the cradle’s cable to your computer (USB port or serial port as appropriate) if you haven’t already done so.

5) Wait for your computer to detect the USB port. If it does not detect, press the

Hot Sync button on your cradle to detect new hardware.


6) After all the drivers and software are finished installing, plug the camera into the Palm handheld’s expansion slot until it is snug. The camera will click into the slot when fully engaged.

***

7) To remove the camera, lightly push down on the camera since the socket is a push-push type.

NOTE: On Windows 98 and Windows 2000, Windows Media Player will be installed after the bundle software is installed. Make sure if you are running

Windows 98 or Windows 2000, you wait for the Windows Media Player installation to finish.

*NOTE: If Autorun does not start, choose Run from the Windows Start Menu.

Assuming your CD-ROM drive is the D drive, type “d:\Autorun” in the Run dialog box. If Autorun still does not run, consult your computer manual or manufacturer to locate the CD-ROM drive.

**NOTE: The bundle software Veo Creative Studio must have DirectX installed, pre-installed in Windows XP. Click on the Veo Creative Studio icon on your desktop and it will prompt you to install DirectX. You must restart your computer to complete the installation.

***NOTE: Make sure the card is facing the right direction. The right direction is shown in picture located near the slots of the Palm handhelds.


Setting Up the Photo Traveler

How to insert the camera

Insert the camera into the Palm handheld’s

Expansion Card Slot as shown on the left.

NOTE: SDIO driver on the Palm handheld must be v2.0 or higher. The SDIO driver is located on the

CD. If your Palm pops up this error message “The battery is too low for this operation” when plugging in the camera, you need to update the SDIO driver by installing it into your Palm. To install the SDIO driver, do a Hot Sync operation after installing the

Photo Traveler software.

How to pivot the lens of the camera

In order to point the camera towards an object away from you, gently turn the head away from the stop. Do not try to force it beyond the 180 o

.

To face the lens towards you, just turn the head in the opposite direction.

NOTE: Do not turn the head of the camera beyond it’s 180 o

range of motion. A stop is provided to prevent overtravel. Forcing rotation beyond the stop will damage the camera.

2. Tap on Veo

At this point, the Photo Traveler application should appear in the thumbnail screen. Tap on the camera icon will bring you to the live preview screen. Now you are ready to learn the basics of using the camera.

Later in this User’s Guide, you will learn how to capture images, view images in thumbnail or slideshow mode, delete images, Hot Sync images between the computer and the Palm handheld, and edit images with Veo Creative Studio software.

All pictures will automatically be saved into the Palm handheld’s memory after you have captured them.

Other Palm handheld users must have the Veo camera application installed to view your images. You may beam the application from one Palm handheld to another Palm handheld. Refer to Palm web site, located at www.palm.com for instructions on beaming applications. To Beam the Veo camera application, align the Palm OS handhelds (as shown). From the

Palm OS handheld’s Home screen, tap on the Veo bar located on the top left hand corner. On the Palm OS handheld receiving the file, make sure you tap on

“Yes” to accept the file. Please refer to Palm web site, located at www.palm.com for further assistance with beaming files from one Palm OS handheld to another

Palm OS handheld.

NOTE: Images can only be viewed if the Veo camera application is installed on the Palm OS handheld.

Beaming Photos

Tap on the Bean icon to beam the selected image to another Palm OS handheld with Veo installed.


Notes

•

For sharper images, hold the Palm handheld as still as possible while capturing an image. This is extremely important when the Photo Traveler is used in low light conditions.

•

Make sure the lighting around your subject is adequate.

•

Adjust the screen contrast and brightness level correctly on your Palm handheld.

•

If you want to conserve memory on your Palm handheld, capture small size images, which are approximately 38K. Full Size images consume more memory than small size images. Full Size images are approximately

130K. To keep the memory in your Palm handheld available, you may transfer images to your computer.

•

Synchronizing your images may extend your Hot Sync time.

•

Synchronizing using a serial cradle is slower than using a USB cradle.

•

When your Palm handheld goes on sleep mode, your Photo Traveler may pause. To activate the camera again, tap on any icons and then tap the capture icon. Your Palm handheld screen will return back to the live video screen.

Troubleshooting

1) If the Photo Traveler Camera doesn’t work:

- Make sure the Photo Traveler Camera is fully inserted.

- Make sure the Palm handheld is working properly.

- Make sure the Hot Sync Manager is running.

- Check to see that there is sufficient battery life remaining. If battery level

too low, inserting the camera will generate a warning message on the

Palm and camera will not work.

- Refer to the Photo Traveler user’s guide for related problems.

2) What if the Hot Sync works but the pictures aren’t transferring?

- Make sure that the Palm handheld is plugged into the cradle and the

cradle’s cable is plugged to your computer (USB port or serial port as

appropriate).

- Make sure there are pictures in your Palm handheld.

3) What does the other person need in order to view the images?

The other person’s Palm handheld must have the Veo camera application installed in order to view images that are beamed to them.
