Note: If a cable or adapter you need is not included with the

DMC camera, Polaroid Technical Assistance (see page 4) can

provide instructions for obtaining it.

IMPORTANT: Always connect the camera to AC power

when it is connected to the computer. If the camera or any

other SCSI device turns off while connected, it could corrupt

data on your hard disk.

Installing the DMC software on your PC

To operate the DMC camera, you must use one of the

following programs on your PC. Both are provided with the

DMC camera and are installed during the procedure given
