Getting Started
The following chapter provides step-by-step instructions on setting
up your Digital Picture Frame for the first time.
a. Unpacking your Digital Picture Frame
The box should include:
-SP-DPF 84 digital picture frame
-User Manual
-Remote Control
-USB cable
-AC Power Adapter
b. Removing the protective plastic film from the LCD panel
The digital picture frame ships with a protective plastic film on

www.smartpartsproducts.com Page 6
its LCD panel to protect it from being scratched during the
manufacturing and shipping process.
We suggest you remove the film to improve the quality /
clarity of the picture. Please be advised however that the LCD
screen scratch easily and the film will protect it.
c. Connecting the frame to the Power Supply
Use only the supplied AC power supply. Make sure that the
frame’s power switch is in the OFF position before you
connect or disconnect the power supply.
Plug the AC power supply only into a 120 VAC 60 Hz (regular
North American) wall outlets – connecting the frame to a
different power source or wall outlet will harm the unit and
void the warranty.
d. Connecting the frame to your computer (optional)
Use the supplied USB cable and connect the frame to your
computer.
The Hardware wizard will show that you connected a new
device and will recognize it as a disk drive.
No software needs to be installed. Just follow the start menu
and click on “My Computer” – your memory card will be listed
under “Devices with Removable Storage”. You can open it by
double clicking on the icon representing your memory card.
Most likely this device will be named after the manufacturer of
your memory card.
There will be no data available as long as you do not insert a
memory card into your frame.
Once you insert a memory you will see the respective drive
on your computer and you will be able to access your pictures
and the frame can act as a regular card reader.
Please note that the Digital Picture Frame will not display
pictures while it is connected to a computer. Please
disconnect the USB cable to view pictures.

Changing & adding pictures on your memory card
The following chapter provides step-by-step instructions on how to
add and format pictures from your computer onto your memory
card for viewing in your Digital Picture Frame.
TECHNICAL ALERT:
The pictures have to be stored in the correct folder on your
memory for the Digital Picture Frame to display the pictures!
The pictures have to be stored in the right file format with the
correct file naming!
a. View Contents on your memory card
After you connect your frame to your computer you can see
your memory card under “My Computer” as an external drive.
By clicking on the symbol you will get access to the DCIM
folder. All pictures are stores in this folder and all NEW
pictures HAVE to be stored in this folder as well.
b. Formatting the Pictures from your computer
The preferred file format for the Digital Picture Frame is
JPEG. However, there are different variations of the JPEG
format and not all formats can be read by the Digital Picture
Frame or your Digital Camera.
We recommend using standard Microsoft picture editing
software to save your pictures in JPEG format. Even
PHOTOSHOP or PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS files should be
opened in a standard Microsoft Picture Editor and saved as a
JPEG file to the memory card.
We also recommend naming the pictures without using
underscores or more then 4 number digits in the name.

c. Using Smartparts Website for HELP
We provide a useful tool on our website to help you:
- Save your pictures in the proper and
readable format
- Name your pictures so the Digital Picture
Frame can find and read it
- Save it in the proper resolution – so you can
maximize the space on your memory card
and speed up the functions in your Digital
Picture Frame
Please log on to www.smartpartsproducts.com and click on
“My Photos”.
Please register under your name – your access will be
immediate.
Now you can browse for the pictures on your computer and
upload and preview them in the frame illustrated on our
website.

by right – clicking on the picture and saving it into the DCIM
file on your memory card.
