BATTERY INSTALLATION:
Make sure unit is in the OFF position by rotating the ON-OFF-VOLUME control
located on the back of the unit counter clockwise until a "click" is heard. Remove the
battery cover by unscrewing the two Phillips Head screws. Next observing polarity,
install four D size batteries (Not included) into the holder. Replace cover and screws.
Alkaline batteries must be used only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use
rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries because they supply lower voltage
and the unit will not perform properly. Never mix brands, types or old and new batteries
together.
OPERATION:
Insert an SD, MMC or MS memory card (up to 2GB), containing your desired formatted
pictures, into card slot on the Right side of the photo frame. The digital photo frame will
initialize the files and display those photos in a thumbnail format. You may also use a
USB flash drive (up to 2GB) to transfer your files. Please Note: There is a maximum of
12 pictures and 12 messages for this machine.
RECORDING MESSAGES:
First turn the ON/OFF/VOL control knob to ON and set to an audible level. Set your
Scan Mode dial to Mode 1.Using one hand, press and hold the Record button on the
back of the unit. Using your other hand, press the textured yellow plate on the front of
the unit to record a message for the first photo, starting from the top left that is
highlighted. You have a maximum record time of 25 seconds per message. When you
are finished recording the message release only the yellow plate then press down on the
yellow plate again to move and record the next photo. Continue this until all your photos
have recordings. If you release the record button before recording all your messages, the
photos and messages will be out of sync with each other. You will need to turn off the
device wait 5 seconds turn it back on and start over again.
MESSAGE MODES:
Using the mode changer knob, select the desired mode 1, 2 or 3.
Mode 1: plays each picture message and advances to next picture each time the yellow
plate is depressed.
Mode 2: push yellow plate to start scan, push again to speak pre-recorded message
Mode 3: same as 2 but with auditory cueing. Press the yellow plate once to start the unit
scanning through each picture, during the scanning the pre recorded messages will play
at a reduced volume level. This gives the user an auditory “preview” of the current
message. Pressing the yellow switch again will play the current message at full volume.
To resume the scan press the yellow plate again, this will start the scan from the last
message played at full volume.
Please Note: When changing modes always turn the machine off first, then switch to the
new mode. For proper synchronisation of pictures and messages the machine must
always start from the first picture (left to right).
Single Photo View:
While in any of the modes you can switch to view only one photo at a time by pressing
the Play/Pause button on the top of the unit. To reset back to full view press the Exit
button. If this fails for any reason reset the unit by turning it OFF, wait 5 seconds then
turn back ON.
SCAN SPEED:
You can control the speed (1 to 10 seconds) of the Message Scanning by adjusting the
scan speed knob. Facing the back of the unit turning the knob clockwise increases the
scan speed, and turning it counter clockwise decreases the scan speed. The unit will
“remember” your Scan Speed setting until the next time you change it.
TROUBLESHOOTING (FAQ):
Problem: The unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly.
Action #1: Make sure that you have fresh batteries in the unit and that they are installed
according to proper polarity.
Action #2: Make sure that the volume is turned up to an audible level.
Action #3: Make sure that there is nothing inhibiting the depression of the touch pad OR
pressing the touch pad down (i.e. icons, crumbs, sticky juice, etc.)
1. Q: What type of file formats does this Digital Picture Frame support?
A: This Digital Photo Frame supports standard JPEG file format.
2. Q: Why are some of my photos not able to be displayed on the viewer?
A: Most digital cameras take and save the photos in a standard JPEG format which
allows the digital photo frame to display the photos. However, some images (for
example web page images, scanned images, or RAW format photos taken by special
cameras) may not be supported.
You may be able to convert some of the pictures to Standard JPEG format using
software such as “Paint” which is included in your Windows Operating Systems (other
options may be Photoshop, Microsoft Office Picture Manager, and various other editing
programs).
3. Q: There is no picture on the screen?
A: Remove and re-insert your memory card or USB thumb drive and make sure they are
properly inserted in place. Verify the power adapter is connected properly to the power
outlet and DC input on the digital picture frame. Turn off the Digital Photo Frame and
reinsert the memory card properly.
