SETUP AND SAFETY --------------------------------------------------------------
This device is intended for the reproduction of video 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 ex-
ample 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 remove the mains adapter during a thunder 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 socket after you have con-
nected the external devices.

the warranty.
