Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your digital photo frame.

• Cleaning the Screen: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the display.

• General Care: Avoid exposing the frame to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity. Do not drop the frame or subject it to strong impacts. Keep the frame away from water and other liquids.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Axion AXN-9900, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power:
  • Ensure the AC/DC power adapter is securely connected to both the frame and a functional wall outlet.

  • Check that a memory card or USB device is properly inserted and contains compatible image files (JPEG format).
