Setting up Your Web Camera

Getting Started
The widescreen web camera supports plug & play. Read the following steps and use the web camera with your video calling apps.

- To use the camera’s built-in microphone, select “TK-CA002 Camera” as the audio input device in the audio settings.
VERY IMPORTANT
- If the computer does not recognize TK-CA002 automatically when it is plugged in, try plugging it into a different USB port, or unplug and plug it back in.
- If this does not help, restart the computer.
- Then the camera will be recognized in most instances.
Lens Care
- Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the centre outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.
- Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
- Keep the webcam dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
- Leaving the webcam in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.
