040617 - Memory Card Installation - 2 MB
040618 -
040619 - The memory card hold the picture data, similar to film in a regular
040620 - camera.
040621 -
040622 - This is a small card, about .5" x .5" x .08" so it is delicate to
040623 - handle.
040624 -
040625 - Instructions say to avoid touching the exposed circuitry on the
040626 - memory card, so care is needed.
040627 -
040628 - Each memory card comes with two labels that have adhesive on one side,
040629 - similar to 1.4MB floppy disks.  One end of the memory card has a slant
040630 - cut on the edge.  The label should be pasted on the other end of the
040631 - memory card within the outline stamped into the memory card for the
040632 - label.
040633 -
040634 - You can write an identification on the labels.  The procedure is to
040635 - write a very short description of the memory module, and then peel a
040636 - label from the packaging and carefully paste it onto the memory
040637 - module.
040638 -
040639 - After the memory card is labeled, it has to be installed in the
040640 - camera.
040641 -
040642 - The memory card slot is sort of evident, but it is harder to open the
040643 - cover than might be expected, i.e., more force is needed.
040644 -
040645 - The memory card slot cover is on the side of the camera where the
040646 - carrying sling is attached, and the opposite end from where batteries
040647 - are installed.  The Cover hinge is visible on the side.  Holding the
040648 - camera with thumb and fore finger on the top and bottom use a finger
040649 - nail to pull up and back toward the cover hinge to open the cover.

Fotobee Argus Camera Downloading and Processing

050401 -  ..
050402 - Fotobee Software
050403 -
050404 - There is a CD.  Installed it in...
050405 -
050406 -                        h: 00 40
050407 -
050408 -
050409 - It produced an icon for Fotobee, and another for editing pictures.
050410 -
050411 - Another icon was for signing up for 5 MB of web space to store
050412 - pictures.  Since we have JPS, we removed this icon.
050413 -
050414 - Also removed the other two icons, since the programs are listed in
050415 - the Program menu and can be launched from there.
050416 -
050417 - Basic steps...
050418 -
050419 -        1.  Plug the serial pin into an open serial connection port on
050420 -            the back of the computer.
050421 -
050422 -        2.  Plug the other end into the top port on the side of the
050423 -            camera.  There is a lower port for a male connection below
050424 -            the female port where this connection is needed. Use the
050425 -            female port.
050426 -
050427 -        3.  Slide the on off switch on the camera to "on," and let it
050428 -            slip back to normal position.  In other words, the switch
050429 -            simply is slid to the on position and then released, so it
050430 -            slips back to the off position.  You know the camera is
050431 -            "on" becasue the LED panel lights up with some text.
050432 -
050433 -        4.  Press the PC button and release it.
050434 -
050435 -            These steps set up the camera for downloading pictures to
050436 -            the Fotobee program.  They sometimes have to be repeated.
050437 -
050438 -        5.  Fotobee program -- open from Fotobee directory under
050439 -            Programs in Start.
050440 -
050441 -        6.  Select "Index" from the menu bar.  It is the second option
050442 -            next to "Ping" and below "Camera" on the main menu.  It is
050443 -            not labeled, but when the pointer is on the button, "Index"
050444 -            appears on the screen.
050445 -
050446 -            This will load an index of pictures on the camera to the
050447 -            current window.  It can take a few seconds for this to
050448 -            occur.
050449 -
050450 -        7.  After the index appears on the screen, which is a series of
050451 -            small pictures, double click on a picture to show its full
050452 -            size.
050453 -
050454 -        8.  Save any picture you want to keep to the following
050455 -            directory.

050457 -            Click on the File menu on the main menu bar.
050458 -
050459 -            Click "Save-as"
050460 -
