20 FAQ’S
Frequently Asked Questions
NOTE: FAQ’s are also available on-line at help.ceiva.com and are updated on a regular basis.
HOW DO I GET MY PHOTOS ONTO MY RECEIVER?
There are several ways to get your personal photos to display on your Receiver. First of all, you
need digital pictures.You can use a scanner to scan in some of your old prints to preserve them
or use pictures from your digital camera or camera phone. If you are using a traditional camera,
most film developers now can supply you with a CD with your photos on it.
From there, either go to www.ceiva.com and log in to send your photos to your Receiver or
you can use the CEIVA SenderTM and prepare your photos on your hard drive and then send to
the CEIVA NetworkTM from there. Photos are also sent directly from your camera phone to
your Receiver.
WHAT DO I NEED TO USE MY RECEIVER?
To use your Receiver, you will need a standard AC power outlet, and a working analog phone line.
Make use of the provided dual jack splitter if necessary. Remember, a PicturePlanTM subscription
to the CEIVA NetworkTM is necessary so that your personal Photo Receiver may receive photos.
WHO CAN SEND PHOTOS TO MY RECEIVER?
With the owner’s permission, anyone with Internet access can send pictures to a CEIVA Digital
Photo ReceiverTM from anywhere in the world. Remember, anyone sending pictures must sign up for
a FREE membership at CEIVATM.The member’s sign-in name is then put on the Buddy List of your
CEIVA Receiver,allowing them to send you pictures.The free membership also allows members to
store up to 200 pictures in on-line albums, customize pictures, add captions and messages.
