Important Safety Precautions
Always follow these basic safety precautions when using your Multimedia
Digital Photo Frame (DPF). This will reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and injury.
WARNING: Do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
WARNING: Do not remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
•The DPF is for indoor use only.
•Unplug the DPF before performing care and maintenance.
•Do not block the ventilation holes on the back of the DPF at any time.
•Keep your DPF out of direct sunlight and heat sources.
•Protect the power cord. Route power cords so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay
particular attention to the point where the cord attaches to the DPF.
•Only use the AC adapter included with the DPF. Using any other
power adapter will void your warranty.
•Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when the unit is not in
use.
Cleaning the Digital Photo Frame
Treat the screen gently, it is made of glass and can break. To clean
fingerprints or dust from the LCD screen, we recommend using a soft, non-
abrasive cloth such as a camera lens cloth to clean the LCD screen. If you
use a commercial LCD Cleaning Kit, do not apply the cleaning liquid directly
to the LCD screen. Clean the LCD screen with cleaning cloth moistened with
the liquid.
Clean the outer surface of the DPF (excluding the screen) with a soft cloth
dampened with water.

Set Up the Digital Photo Frame (DPF)
It is a quick and easy process to set up the DPF.
1. Plug the AC Power Adapter into the DPF and into a wall outlet.
2. Insert a memory card or USB Flash Drive into the appropriate slot.
Slot 1 – Compact Flash Card Reader (8” model only)
Slot 2 - Secure Digital™ or MultiMedia Card™, Memory Stick™,
MemoryStick Pro™, or xD Memory Card™
USB Host – USB Flash Drive
Note: The cards will only fit in one direction; do not force them into the
DPF as this will damage the card reader.
3. To power on, slide the POWER button on the left side of the DPF up.
A slideshow will automatically display the photos on your memory
card. (If you have not inserted a memory card yet, the slideshow will
display the photos pre-loaded into the internal memory.)
4. To view photos individually, press EXIT twice to return to the
thumbnail screen. Use the directional arrows to highlight a photo, and
then press ENTER to view it.

Show button on the remote control.

and lift the unit from the frame.
2. After replacing either frame or matt, replace the screws and just
finger-tighten.
Note: The effective range and angle of the remote control will be reduced
if you use the grey or the black paper matt.
