2Setting up for wireless operation

To allow your frame to access the contents of your computer wirelessly, connect your frame to your wireless home network.

NOTE: If you are not sure you have a wireless network, ask the person who set up your computer.

If you have problems with your wireless setup or connection, see Troubleshooting starting on page 63. Or open KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Display Software on your computer (see page 8) and click Tools → Wireless Troubleshooter. Follow the automated troubleshooting wizard.

Connecting to your wireless network—first time

The first time you turn on your frame, the wireless setup screens automatically appear after you set your language and tap Save (see page 4).

The frame scans for available networks and then your available networks are listed.

If your wireless network is not listed, follow the directions on page 8, then return to this page and resume this connection procedure.

NOTE:

If the scan finds multiple networks, your home network is usually listed first and highlighted.

Networks are listed by % of signal strength.

1 Slide or tap below the arrows to highlight your home network, then tap OK.

5	www.kodak.com/go/support

Setting up for wireless operation

The Connecting screen (or the wireless network security screen, if enabled) appears.

Or, tap Exit to go to the Home screen without connecting. (See page 27.)

2If you do not have wireless network security enabled, go to step 3.

(However, we recommend that you enable your network security to prevent others from accessing your wireless home network.)

If you have wireless network security enabled, the on-screen keyboard appears. Enter your security key:

a Highlight a character, then tap (Select) to enter it in the text box.

Setting up for wireless operation

NOTE: The screen identifies your security as either WEP or WPA. A WEP security key can be either:

5 or 13 characters (0-9, A-Z, some special characters, case sensitive) 10 or 26 characters (0-9, A-F, not case sensitive).

A WPA key is 8-63 characters, case sensitive.

The person who set up your network can provide you with this information.

IMPORTANT: Do not select Scan now (to verify connections, page 10) until you have installed the software.

3If you haven’t done so already, install the KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Display Software on your WINDOWS OS computer (see page 8) so you can set up and customize your frame right from your computer wirelessly. For MAC OS users, see page 12.

Connecting to your wireless network later

If you chose not to connect to your network when you first turned on your frame, you can do it at any time. Here’s how.

1 Tap Home →Settings .

2 Slide to highlight Network, then tap Select.

3 Highlight Scan for wireless networks, then tap OK.

4 Follow the screen prompts and continue with step 1 on page 5.

1 Slide to highlight My network not shown, then select OK.

2Check that your router is on and your frame is close to the router, then select Scan again.

If your wireless network is still not found, your network does not broadcast SSIDs. You then need to enter the network SSID (sometimes called the network name) manually:

1Select Enter SSID, then tap OK.

The on-screen keyboard appears.

2Enter the SSID in the text box (see page 6). Tap Done when finished.

The person who set up your network can help you with this information. Or, tap Back then tap Help me connect for more information.

3 When your network is found and listed, return to step 1 on page 5.

IMPORTANT: For MAC OS users, do not install the software on your computer. See page 12 to start setting up access to Web content.

The CD that was packaged with your frame contains two applications that work well independently, but also work together for the best experience with your frame:

■KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Display Software —manage your frame right from your computer, copy between your frame and computer (page 44), and set up your frame for access to KODAK Gallery and Web content (page 11).

■KODAK EASYSHARE Software —organize, edit, and share your pictures.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that you install both. If you already have EASYSHARE Software on your computer, upgrade to this special version for additional features.
