Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
Note: Do not touch the color TFT LCD screen.
Proper Handling of the Digital Photo Picture Frame
Always handle the Digital Photo Picture Frame carefully. Avoid touching the LCD screen as natural skin oils are very difficult to remove.
Always position the Digital Photo Picture Frame on a stable and level surface. Unstable surfaces can cause the Digital Photo Picture Frame to topple and fall, resulting in possible damage or injury.
Avoid exposing the Digital Photo Picture Frame to direct sunlight or high temperatures, which can damage or shorten its life. Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other appliances that generate heat. Orient the Digital Photo Picture Frame away from direct sunlight to reduce glare.
Avoid exposing the Digital Photo Picture Frame to rain, water, moisture or high humidity. Do not place it in a bathroom or kitchen near a sink or where it may come in contact with water.
Never place heavy or sharp objects on the LCD panel, frame, or power cord.
Overloading Outlets
Do not overload electrical power sources when using the Digital Photo Picture Frame. Overloading wall outlets, circuits, or extension cords can result in overheating, fire, or electric shock. Use only grounded or polarized outlets.
Power Cord Protection
To minimize wear on the power supply cord, the power supply cord should be routed away from foot traffic and contact with other objects. Do not route the power cord under rugs or carpeting. The cord should never be severely bent, pinched, or twisted. Periodically inspect the power cord and each end of the cord for wear or damage. Unplug and replace the cord if it is damaged.
Ventilation
Slots and openings on the Digital Photo Picture Frame are provided for ventilation purposes. To ensure proper ventilation and reliable operation of the product do not place Digital Photo Picture Frame on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface. Do not place it in an enclosed space such as a bookcase, unless proper ventilation is provided.

Connecting your Digital Photo Frame to a computer
Use the supplied USB cable to connect your digital picture frame to a computer for file transfer.
- With the frame turned off, connect the small end of the cable to the frame and the large end to your computer.
