SETUP AND SAFETY --------------------------------------------------------------
The device is designed to play picture and audio signals. Any other
use is expressly prohibited.
The device is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors,
make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or splashing
water.
If the device is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for
example when taken from the cold into a warm room, wait at least
two hours before using it.
Place the device on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the digital picture frame or put any cloth or
similar items underneath it.
Do not place the device close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as
this will impair cooling.
Do not place any vessels, such as vases, on the device as they may
tip over and spill the liquid, which poses an electrical hazard.
Do not place any naked flames such as candles on the device or in
close proximity.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the de-
vice is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains. Always disconnect the mains plug during a storm.
Never open the device under any circumstances. No warranty
claims are accepted for damage caused by improper handling.
When deciding where to put the device, remember that furniture is
often coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these
contain chemicals which can corrode the feet of the device, leaving
marks on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or im-
possible to remove.
Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the housing.
Clean the device with a clean dry cloth.
Make sure the power supply unit is not damaged.
Only operate the device with the power supply unit provided.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched
on. Switch off the other devices as well before connecting them.
Only plug the device into the mains adapter socket after you
have connected the external devices.

The screen of your digital picture frame meets the highest quality
standards and has been checked for pixel faults.
Despite the great care taken in manufacturing, technological reasons
make it impossible to completely discount the possibility that some
pixels may be faulty.
Provided they are within the thresholds specified by the DIN norm,
pixel faults of this kind cannot be regarded as a defect as defined by
the warranty.

2When inserting the battery (3 V, lithium), make sure the positive
terminal (+) of the battery and the (+) sign on the holder are on
the same side.
3Push the battery holder back into the remote control until it
catches in place.
Notes:
Do not expose the battery to extreme heat, caused for example
by direct sunlight, heaters or fire.
If the digital picture frame no longer reacts correctly to remote
control commands, the battery may be flat. Always remove used
batteries. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage
caused by leaking batteries.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which do not contain heavy metal,
should not be disposed of with household waste. Always dispose
of used batteries in accordance with local environmental
regulations.
CONNECTION AND PREPARATION----

ENGLISH
15
Connecting the power supply unit
Note:
Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the back of
the power supply unit) corresponds to your local mains supply. If
this is not the case, contact your specialist dealer.
1Insert the plug of the power supply cable into the »DC IN +5V«
socket (on the rear of the device).
2Plug the power supply unit into the mains.
Caution:
The device is connected to the mains by the power supply unit. If
you wish to disconnect the device from the mains completely, you
need to unplug the power supply unit.
Unplug the power supply unit to disconnect the device from the
mains. Make sure the power supply unit is easily accessible
during operation and not hindered by other objects.
CONNECTION AND PREPARATION----

16
Inserting the data medium
Note:
Before inserting a memory card or a USB memory stick, switch off
the digital picture frame using »8«.
Only switch the digital picture frame on again after inserting.
Even if you remove the memory card or USB memory stick, the
digital picture frame must be switched off, otherwise files could be
damaged.
Inserting a memory card
The digital picture frame supports memory cards in SD, MS, MS
Pro and MMC formats.
1Insert the card carefully into the »SD/MMC/MS« card slot (rear
panel, left) with the contacts facing the screen until it catches into
place.
Note:
Do not use excessive force when inserting the memory card. Only
apply slight pressure.
The memory cards are resistant to dirt and moisture, but may only
be inserted into the digital picture frame in a dry and clean
condition.
Never remove memory cards during operation. This can damage
the memory card. This type of damage will invalidate your
warranty.
Removing the memory card
1Pull out the memory card.
CONNECTION AND PREPARATION----

ENGLISH
17
Inserting a USB memory stick or connecting a
multimedia player
1Insert the USB stick or the USB cable of the multimedia player
into the » « interface on the digital picture frame.
Note:
The USB interface in the digital picture frame does not support the
connection of a USB extension cable and is not designed to be
connected directly to a computer.
Notes:
The USB port of this digital picture frame is a standard interface.
All currently-known MP3 chip concepts were taken into account
when it was developed. Due to rapid progress in MP3 technol-
ogy and new manufacturers appearing every day, the compati-
bility of MP3 players/USB memory sticks can only be partially
guaranteed.
If USB operation is impaired or is not possible, this does not in-
dicate a malfunction of the digital picture frame.
Note:
Bi-directional data transfer as defined for ITE devices in EN
55022/EN 555024 is not possible.
USB transfer is not in itself an operating mode. It is only an addi-
tional function.
Connecting earphones or headphones
1Plug the head/earphones into the »U« socket on the digital pic-
ture frame.
– The loudspeakers of the digital picture frame will be switched
off automatically.
Note:
Prolonged listening at loud volumes with headphone or ear-
phones can damage your hearing.
