If you use the LCD Cleaning Kit sold on the market, apply the cleaning liquid
to the cloth. Do not apply the liquid directly to your LCD screen.

Technical Support
Frequently asked questions
1) Q: Can I use touch-enabled technology for my Digital Picture Frame?
A: The LCD screen does not support touch-enabled technology. Please use
the remote control included or the keys on the side of the unit to control the
Digital Picture Frame.
2) Q: Can I switch between different photos by using different memory cards?
A: Yes. When you connect your memory cards to the Digital Picture Frame, it
will display photos, music and video files stored on that specific card that are
in the required format for the Digital Picture Frame. You can even switch
between different card reader formats to view different pictures.
3) Q: If I keep showing the same photo for a long time, will it damage the LCD
screen?
A: No. The Digital Picture Frame can display the same photo continuously for
1,000 hours without causing damage to its LCD screen. But it is
recommended not to show the same picture continuously for more than 1
month.
4) Q: How do I store music files?
A: First, use a personal computer and popular audio editing software to
convert your music to MP3 format. The Digital Picture Frame will only play
MP3 files so all Windows Media Player™ and/or iTunes™ files will have to be
converted first. You can use a card reader or your digital camera to transfer
those files to your memory card.
5) Q: Does the Digital Picture Frame have built-in memory?
A: No. The Digital Picture Frame does not have any internal memory to store
your files. You must use a compatible memory card to play your Media files.
6) Q: Can I insert multiple memory cards?
A: Yes. Turn off the unit before you insert any card. The screen will show what
types of memory cards are in the slots. Use the remote control to select the
memory card.
7) Q: What is the maximum picture size?
A: The Digital Picture Frame is able to display pictures up to 12 Mega Pixels.
8) Q: Does it play every type of AVI and or MPEG4 videos?

12.1 INCH DIGITAL PICTURE FRAME

A: No. The device only works with the avi/mpeg4 files taken by most digital
cameras.
9) Q: What is the best picture resolution displayed on the screen?
A: The frame’s best resolution is 640 x 480.
10) Q: Can I rotate a picture on the screen?
A: Yes. Use the ROTATE button on the remote control to rotate a picture.
Note: The rotated picture will return to its original orientation after you power
down the Digital Picture Frame.
11) Q: How come the Digital Picture Frame does not show some of my
photos?
A: The Digital Picture Frame is designed to show photos following the same
camera industry standards format as digital cameras. This format is a JPEG
format. Images, such as web images, scanned images, or photos in RAW
format, are not stored according to camera industry standards and therefore
cannot be displayed correctly on the Digital Picture Frame. Please use your
PC applications to convert such images into standard JPEG format before
viewing them on the Digital Picture Frame.
