Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frame does not power on. | Power adapter not connected or faulty outlet. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the frame and a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet. |
| Photos are not displaying. | No photos uploaded, Wi-Fi connectivity issue, or app not paired. | Check the Aura app to ensure photos are uploaded and assigned to the frame. Verify the frame is connected to Wi-Fi. Re-pair the frame with the app if necessary. |
