The AVCam300

Dear Customer,

We'd like to thank you for your choice of this ARCHOS camera add-on module for your AV300

series Personal Video Player (PVP). By adding this camera to your AV300, you now have all the

functionality of a 3.3 Megapixel Digital still camera AND a video camcorder. Please be careful to

treat it like you would a regular camera by handling it carefully and cleaning the lens with a

cleaner specific to camera lenses.

Wishing you the best Video, Music, and Photo experience,

The ARCHOS TEAM

the connector "click" into place. The
