1 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
Connecting the AVCam300 Camera
When connecting the AVCam300 to your AV300, you must be sure that the AV300 is off. Never
plug in or remove the AVCam from a device that is on. Remove the rubber cover on the left side
of the AV300 to expose the mini-
centronics connector. Align it to the
camera and then push in firmly making
sure that both the left and right side of
the connector “click” into place. The
AVCam300 should now be securely
connected to the body of the AV300.
If it can wiggle and has some play, then
you have not connected it correctly.
To remove the camera, simply shut off
your AV300 then squeeze the top and
bottom orange tabs to disengage the
clips, and then pull out.
Warning: Disconnecting the camera while the
AV300 is on could damage the contents of the AV300
hard drive.
