CongratulationsonyourpurchaseoftheiGala8”LCDDigitalPhotoFrame.Please
read this manual carefully and follow all warnings and instructions in this user's
manual before using the iGala frame. Failing to follow these warnings can result in
personal injury or damage to the Digital Photo Frame. Keep this User's Manual in a
convenient location for future reference.
Please save the original box and all packing material for future shipping needs.
The screenshots in this manual could be different from those displayed on the frame.
The functionality of the iGala frame could also expand upon software upgrade.
Please refer to the iGala frame for the accurate and complete behavior.
Proper Handling of the Digital Photo Frame
Always handle the Digital Photo Frame with care. Avoid scratching the LCD screen.
Always position the Digital Photo Frame on a stable and level surface. Unstable
surfaces can cause the Digital Photo Frame to topple and fall, resulting in possible
damage or injury.
Avoid exposing the Digital Photo Frame to direct sunlight or high temperatures,
which can damage or shorten its useful life. Do not place it near heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, or other appliances that generate heat. Orient the
Digital Photo Frames away from direct sunlight to reduce glare.
Avoid exposing the Digital Photo Frame to rain, water, moisture or high humidity. Do
not place it near basins or sinks where it may come in contact with water.
Never place heavy or sharp objects on the LCD panel, frame, or power cord.
Overloading Outlets
Do not overload electrical power sources when using the Digital Photo Frame.
Overloading wall outlets, circuits, or extension cords can result in overheating, fire,
or electric shock. Use only grounded or polarized outlets.
Power Cord Protection
Minimize wear on the power supply cord. The power supply cord should be routed
away from foot traffic and contact with other objects. Do not route the power cord
under rugs or carpeting. The cord should never be severely bent, pinched, or
twisted. Periodically inspect the power cord and each end of the cord for wear or
damage. Unplug and replace the cord if it is damaged.

Slots and openings on the Digital Photo Frame are provided for ventilation purposes.
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. Keep the Digital Photo Frame a minimum
of four (4) inches away from any wall to assure sufficient airflow and ventilation.
Increased temperatures may cause fire or device failure.
To assure proper ventilation, do not block the openings by placing the Digital Photo
Frame on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. Do not place it in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or enclosed rack, unless proper ventilation is
provided.

Note: The iGala frame will remember your last WiFi configuration and will
automatically try to connect to the last SSID it was connected to at each startup
sequence after power on. This auto connect could take up to 2 minutes to be
successful depending on the signal strength and how long it takes for the WiFi
Access Point to assign a IP address to the frame.
Note: In most cases, the failure to connect is caused by an incorrect WEP key.
Please double check your WEP key before contacting customer service.

F. It is the policy of Flickr that there can be only ONE private token being
used for a Flickr account at any one time, which means only one iGala frame is
able to view and sync to a Flickr account using the private token. Every time
you enter a private token on an iGala frame, it will nullify any other private
token for that Flickr account which may have been used previously by the
same or a different iGala frame.
The photos from the Flickr sets will be downloaded over time, in the
background of the slide show. Depending on the network download speed, it could
take up to 3 minutes to download one photo and hours if the set contains a large
number of photos. Please keep the frame in slide show mode for a smooth
download and sync process.
When the background Flickr download is in progress, the reaction to the
touch screen command could be occasionally delayed.
