1 Thread the short loop of the wrist strap through the recessed post.
2 Thread the long end of the wrist strap through the short loop. Pull until secure.

Loading the Batteries

Three AAA-size batteries are included with the mc3 device, so you can get started immediately.

2 Insert the batteries as indicated inside the battery compartment.

The single battery is inserted (+) end first; the two other batteries are inserted (-) end first.

Consider purchasing a KODAK Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Charger with KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries, available as an accessory through a dealer of KODAK products or from our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

For guidelines on safe battery usage, see "Using Batteries Safely" on page 76.

Locating Files on a Picture Card

Music, video, and picture files are stored on the KODAK Picture Card according to a standard agreed upon by many device manufacturers.

If you use a card reader to retrieve your pictures or you cannot locate your pictures using the software, the following description of the file structure may be helpful. These folders are created when a new Picture Card is inserted in the mc3 device:

System folder: A root-level folder where the mc3 firmware resides prior to an update.
MUSIC folder: Contains music files.
DCIM folder: A root-level folder containing the 100_MC3 folder. Each time you turn the mc3 device on or insert a different Picture Card, any empty folders within the DCIM folder are removed.
100_MC3: Stores pictures and videos taken with the mc3 device.

NOTE: Depending on your operating system and settings, you may see the System, Music, and 100__MC3 folders displayed as SYSTEM, MUSIC, and 100__MC3 on the Picture Card.

How Files are Named

Files on the Picture Card are named as follows:

Music files retain their original filename with the file extension MP3. Music files are stored in the MUSIC folder on the Picture Card.
Video clips are named VID_xxxx.MOV, where xxxx represents the video clip file number and MOV indicates the file is a QUICKTIME video clip. Video clips are stored in the 100_MC3 folder on the Picture Card.
- Still pictures are named PIC_xxxx.JPG, where xxxx represents the picture number and.JPG indicates that the picture is taken in the JPEG file format. Still pictures are stored in the 100__MC3 folder on the Picture Card.

How Pictures and Videos are Numbered

Pictures and videos are numbered in the order in which they are taken. For example, the first picture in the \DCIM\100__MC3 folder is PIC_0001.JPG. The mc3 device maintains a count of the number of pictures taken, which is used to determine the number of the next picture taken.

• Even if you transfer pictures or videos to the computer or delete these files from the Picture Card, the mc3 device uses consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture was PIC_0007.JPG, the next picture is PIC_0008.JPG.
• When you insert a different Picture Card into your mc3 device, the next number is derived by incrementing the higher of the last picture or video in the device or the highest existing number in the folder on the card.
• When you insert the Picture Card into a different mc3 device, the next picture or video number is derived by incrementing either the highest existing number or the highest number previously taken by that device.

Once you take picture PIC_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100_MC3 folder, subsequent pictures will appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101_mc3) on the Picture Card, beginning with picture PIC_0000.JPG.

If you use the Picture Card in a camera or device other than the KODAK mc3, and that manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder will contain a folder named by that camera or device. Any pictures taken with that camera or device are stored in the folder using the naming conventions established by the manufacturer.

For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera or device.

Renaming Files Transferred to the mc3 Device

WINDOWS-Based Computers

When you transfer media files to your Picture Card, the mc3 device limits the number of characters you can use in the filename to 8.3. Before you transfer a file to the device, check the filename. If it is more than 8.3 characters, either let WINDOWS software rename the file or rename the file yourself.

IMPORTANT: Do not rename media files stored on the Picture Card.

Names must follow DOS-format and can contain up to eight characters (A through Z) and numbers (0 through 9), followed by the three-character extension. You cannot use spaces or the following symbols:

Period (.)

Quotation marks ()

Slash/）

Backslash

Brackets ([ ])

General Maintenance and Safety

Using Headphones Safely

• Set the volume to the lowest level before you begin listening, then carefully adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
  Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level. Although a volume level is comfortable, it might still damage your hearing.
• Do not listen at high-volume levels; extended high-volume listening can cause permanent hearing loss.
  Do not turn up the volume during a quiet musical passage; you might damage your hearing when a sudden, loud passage occurs.
• Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or while riding a bicycle; this can create a safety hazard and is illegal in some areas. Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear outside sounds, they still present a safety hazard.

Using Batteries Safely

• Keep batteries away from children.
• Discard used batteries according to applicable local and national regulations. Utilize established community battery recycling programs where available.
  Kodak recommends KODAK PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries or KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries.
  If you elect to use alkaline batteries in the mc3 device, you will obtain better performance from "photo-flash grade" alkaline batteries, such as KODAK PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries. These types of batteries last more than twice as long in digital applications as ordinary alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable; do not attempt to recharge them in a battery charger.

Remove the batteries when the device is stored for long periods of time.
Always follow the battery manufacturer's directions fully. Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.
Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be mixed with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline or Ni-MH types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of batteries. Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their possibility of leakage.
NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL. Battery life depends significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and device. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, Ni-MH rechargeable batteries delivered outstanding results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices, such as digital devices, and do not exhibit the "memory" effects seen with other rechargeable technologies.
In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately wash the contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Customers inside the U.S. can contact Kodak Health, Safety, and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151. Customers outside the U.S. should contact their local health care provider.
In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the device, U.S. customers can contact the Kodak Information Center at 1-800-242-2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer Service representative.

Maintaining the mc3 Device

Avoid exposing the mc3 device to moisture or extreme temperatures.
Clean the outside of the device by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleansers or organic solvents on the device or any of its parts.
- Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come in contact with the surface of the device.

Cleaning the Lens and LCD Screen

Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not wipe the lens or LCD screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it may scratch the lens.

1 Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt.
2 Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it.
3 Wipe the lens or LCD screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue.
