Lifelites is the only charity in the UK dedicated entirely to providing a full package of
technology to enhance the lives of children in hospices. We seek to give all children’s
hospices the equipment they need to help families enjoy their stay in home-from-home
surroundings.
In 2010 we expect to be serving all
41 children’s hospices in the UK.
Lifelites is an independent charity raising funds from a wide variety of sources and we do
not ask the hospices for any contribution towards the equipment and on-going services
we provide. Over a four year cycle, our donation to your hospice will be worth in the
region of £45,000.
Currently Lifelites pays Alphameric Solutions to provide these services for children in
hospices on our behalf.
Alphameric Solutions, the leading supplier in Display and EPOS Technology
to the Bookmaking industry, have been working together with Lifelites since their first
pilot in 1999.
With their understanding of technology, this has helped them ensure that they provide
and support Lifelites with the best equipment for the needs and requirements of the
children within each hospice.
Alphameric Solutions also support Lifelites in other ways, as earlier in 2009 they
announced that Lifelites were to be their chosen Charity and have since had their first
successful event with many more on the horizon.

Storing Images
The camera can store pictures on its internal memory or on the Secure Digital (SD)
memory card provided by Alphameric Solutions.
When the memory card is inserted in the camera, it will be used for recording and play-
back. If the memory card is removed, the camera will use the internal memory.
The SD memory card has a greater storage capacity than the internal memory, therefore
more images can be stored before the memory is full.
Once the memory (memory card or internal) becomes full, pictures can be transferred
onto a personal computer (PC) for long term storage, and the images in memory can be
deleted to free up space.
Please Note: Additional SD memory cards can be purchased and used with
the FinePix camera.
1. To insert the memory card, ensure the camera is
turned off before opening the memory card slot
cover.
2. Insert the memory card into the slot in the
orientation shown, sliding it all the way in.
3. Close the memory card slot cover.
To remove the memory card, ensure the camera is
turned off before opening the memory card slot cover.
Gently press the memory card in and release it slowly.
Warning: The memory card may spring out if
you immediately remove your finger.
Warning: If the memory
card does not easily slide
into the slot, do not force
it. Check it is the correct
type of card and is being
inserted the correct
orientation.

Long Term Storage of Pictures and Movies
Any pictures or movies that you want to keep will need to be transferred from the
Camera to a long term storage area.
Alphameric provide a Shared Network Storage area that all the PC’s can access.
This is a pair of high volume hard drives within a special housing. Whilst you do not need
to touch or access this equipment, an image is provided for ease for comprehension.
Please Note: The camera could be attached to the Inclusive or Internet P.C.to
transfer pictures or movies, following the installation of the provided FinePix
Viewer software. Please see your local technical representative to discuss
further.
Important: The PC’s provided are designed to restore themselves to a known
good condition upon each restart. No pictures or movies should be saved to any
location other than ’Documents’ or ’T Drive’ from ’Computer’.
The ‘Documents’ area on each PC is pointing towards
this Shared Network Storage area. Therefore anything
saved to ‘Documents’ on each PC will be available
after the PC has restored itself to a known good
condition as well as be available for viewing from any
of the other provided PC’s.
The pictures and movies are transferred by connecting
the FinePix camera to the Multimedia PC, and through
the FinePix Viewer program which will automatically
start.
