GETTING STARTED
Getting Started — Set-Up is Easy!
How Your CEIVA Frame Works
Your CEIVA frame will display a continuous slideshow of your photos from a camera memory card. If you
choose to activate your PicturePlan service, your CEIVA frame will automatically display new photos every
day after retrieving these photos from the CEIVA Network.The frame connects to the CEIVA Network
through an ordinary analog phone line without interrupting your phone service. You don’t need an extra
phone line. Optional broadband and wireless adapters are available to connect to a home network.Your
CEIVA frame will always display memory card images, with or without a PicturePlan.
Throughout this manual, the words (PicturePlan only) in parentheses denote features and
capabilities exclusively available with the PicturePlan Service.
Create Your Free CEIVA Account, Register Your CEIVA Frame and Activate
Your PicturePlan Service
You must create a free CEIVA Account and register your CEIVA frame in order to activate your PicturePlan
service, get complimentary CEIVA Customer Care, and receive free software updates, special member
discounts and services.
To create your account and register, go to http://gettingstarted.ceiva.com and follow the quick and easy stepby-step instructions, or call CEIVA Customer Care at 1-877-MYCEIVA (1-877-692-3482). Please have your
serial number readily available when registering.The serial number is located on the bottom of your CEIVA
frame.You may also activate your PicturePlan service during the registration process.
Choose a Location for Your Frame
When choosing a location for your CEIVA frame, make sure:
• The CEIVA frame will be easy to see and away from direct sunlight, water, moisture or exposure to
extreme temperatures.
• A power outlet is nearby.
• A telephone jack or a router for a broadband connection is nearby. If you are connecting your CEIVA
frame to a wireless network, you can place it virtually anywhere in your home or office.
GETTING STARTED
Plug In the Power Cord
Plug one end of the power cord into the round power access port (labeled Power) located on the back of
the CEIVA frame. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a
light switch.We recommend that you use a surge protector power strip to prevent surges of electrical
current from damaging your CEIVA frame.
Plug In the Phone Cord (PicturePlan only)
Insert one end of the phone cord into the square phone access port (labeled Phone) located on the back
of the CEIVA frame. Plug the other end of the cord into a phone outlet. If you need to share the outlet
with an answering machine, fax machine or another phone, use the dual phone splitter (included). If you are
using a broadband or wireless connection, or if you are not using the optional PicturePlan service, you do
not need to plug in the phone cord.
Your CEIVA frame requires an analog phone line to place its daily call to the CEIVA Network.
A digital line could cause damage to the CEIVA frame. Digital lines are most commonly used in
offices and hotels. Please ask your phone company what type of line you have if you are unsure.
If you wish to connect your CEIVA frame to a home or office network with an optional CEIVA Broadband
adapter or CEIVA Wireless adapter, please refer to page 20 of this manual. You can also refer to
http://ceivabr
oadband.ceiva.com and http://ceivawireless.ceiva.com for more information.

NOTE: If you try to connect your frame to the CEIVA Network before registering it, the frame will display an error message.
NOTE: If your CEIVA frame is dialing from a location that has “Pulse Dialing”, or if your telephone line requires a dialing
prefix, please refer to page 22 for instructions on setting up these features.
NOTE: If you have DSL, you will need to use a DSL filter (not supplied, check with your DSL provider).

GETTING STARTED
Insert a Memory Card to Display Photos
To display photos stored on a memory card, simply insert the card into
the built-in card reader. The CEIVA frame will display a continuous
slideshow of up to 500 photos stored on a memory card. Photos
must be in JPEG format and can be up to a resolution of 12
megapixels. Photos can also be displayed directly from a USB flash
drive. Just plug the flash drive into your CEIVA frame’s C-Port 1 and
watch your photos come to life. To upload photos automatically to
personal albums in your online CEIVA account, please refer to page 15.
Your CEIVA frame will display memory card images with or without a PicturePlan.
The CEIVA frame supports most memory card formats including: Compact Flash®, Memory Stick®,
Memory Stick PRO™, Secure Digital™, MultiMedia Card™ and Microdrive®. The CEIVA frame supports the
following memory card formats using an adapter (not included): Memory Stick Duo™, Memory Stick PRO
Duo™, miniSD™, SmartMedia™, and xD-Picture Card™.
