Getting started
Installing the software
The CD that was packaged with your frame contains two applications that work well
independently, but also work together for the best experience with your frame:
■KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Display Software —manage your frame right
from your computer, and use the Sync feature to copy all your pictures from your
computer to your frame’s internal memory (see page 16).
■KODAK EASYSHARE Software —organize, edit, and share your pictures.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend that you install both. If you already have EASYSHARE
Software on your computer, upgrade to this version for additional features.
1Insert the CD into your computer.
2Follow the on-screen instructions to install the
software.
■Click Typical to install EASYSHARE Digital Display Software and to upgrade a
previous version of EASYSHARE Software.
■If you do not have EASYSHARE Software on your computer, click Custom and
choose both applications for a new installation.
■Update—if an update to Digital Display Software is available on the Web, you
receive a notice during installation. Click Yes to install the latest version and take
advantage of new features, including Sync.
The software icons appear on your desktop when the installation is complete.

automatically.

Charging
■Plug the frame in and leave the power connected for at least 3 hours.
The battery automatically charges when the AC power adapter is connected. You
don’t need to turn the frame on.
Using battery power
■Because the battery may be fully discharged when you unpack your frame, you
must charge the battery for at least 3 hours before running the frame on battery
power.
■Unplug the AC adapter and share your pictures at a party or wedding, or take your
frame to an outdoor event where AC power is unavailable.
■Your frame can run for up to an hour* on battery power.
*Battery life may vary. Factors that may adversely affect battery life include playing
videos, playing audio files, using a high volume setting, and using a high screen
brightness setting.
Monitoring battery charge level
The battery icon indicates the charge level.
NOTE: If your frame hasn’t been plugged in to AC power for a long time (more than a year), you may need
to refresh the battery to fully charge it. See Refreshing the battery, page 39.
