Taking care of your Photo Frame
1)
Do not drop
Photo Frame is a complicated electronic device and cannot withstand shock from drops.
2)
Do not expose to moisture
Photo Frame is neither moisture proof nor moisture resistant. Exposing it to moisture or liquid spills of any kind will very likely damage your Photo Frame.
3)
Do not hit or scratch
The LCD panel of Photo Frame is made of glass and therefore is sensitive to abnormal force or hardware with sharp edges.
4)
Screen cleaning
Please use only dry soft cloth to clean your screen.
5)
Battery charging
For first time use, please fully charge your Photo Frame (Battery LED will be off when battery is fully charged). This process may take up to 3 hours or more. Photo Frame starts fully recharging its internal battery only when the battery level is below certain value. This is designed to extend your Photo Frame battery life by reducing unnecessary battery charging.
6)
Keep the stand clear from cables
Make sure the stand of your Photo Frame is clear from cables as cables could pull the stand out of Photo Frame to the floor.
7)
Temperature and humidity limitations
Operating temperature: 0° ~ 45° (Celsius) / 32° ~ 113° (Fahrenheit)
Humidity: 20% ~ 80%

photos stored on that specific card.

without any damage to the LCD screen.
5) Q:Can I use Digital photo frame to delete photos on memory card? A: No, it does not support operations to delete photos on external devices such as a
memory card.
6) Q: Can I print photos from Digital Photo Frame? A: No, it does not support direct photo printing.
7) Q: After copying photos, how can I check if the photos are already stored inside? A: The photos are copied after the screen confirms with "photo copied" message. You

8)
Q: How does Digital Photo Frame show high-resolution 4:3 digital photos on its 3:2 screen?

9) Q: Can I use Digital Photo Frame during its Auto-o ff periods? A: Yes. Press any control key to bring the system back to ON status.
10) Q: Can I change 6PM-6AM Brightness to other time frames, such as 7PM-11PM
Brightness?
A: No. It cannot be changed.
11) Q: Can I increase the memory size to store more pictures on my DPD?
A: No. The internal memory of DPD is fixed and cannot be expanded. However, you
could switch between different photos by using different memory cards on DPD. Please note that photo rotation and slideshow orientation features are not supported for photos stored on memory cards because DPD only reads such photos but cannot change them.
12) Q: Why doesn't my Digital Photo Frame show some of my photos?
A: Digital cameras take photos and store them in JPEG format according to camera
industry standards. Digital Photo Frame is designed to show photos following the same industry standards. Some images, such as web images, scanned images, or photos in RAW format from professional cameras, are not stored according to camera industry standards and therefore cannot be correctly displayed on Digital Photo Frame. Please use PC applications to convert such images into standard JPEG format for Digital Photo Frame.
13) My Digital Photo Frame is ON but the system does not respond anymore!
First please make sure the system is properly powered. Then please use a pin to trigger
the Reset button located at the lower-left corner on the back to restore the system.
14) Q: Why doesn't my Digital Photo Frame go into Auto-off status after I set it?
A: First, please make sure you set Current Time, Auto-off at, and Auto-on at correctly.
Digital Photo Frame will automatically turn off its display exactly at the Auto-off time. If the time has already passed for the day, it will start entering Auto-off status at the specified time from the next day.
15) Q: Why doesn't my Digital Photo Frame follow my 6PM-6AM Brightness setting in the evening?
A: First, please make sure you set Current Time correctly. If you modify the Brightness
setting during 6PM~6AM, it will temporarily follow that new setting for the evening and return to the original 6PM-6AM Brightness setting from the next evening.
16) Q: I'm trying to upload pictures from my PC directly to the Photo Frame using the USB connection, but I cannot get it working. What can I do?
A: First, please make sure you set Current Time correctly. If you modify the Brightness
setting during 6PM~6AM, it will temporarily follow that new setting for the evening and return to the original 6PM-6AM Brightness setting from the next evening.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel defects on a TFT LCD panel must exceed these acceptable levels.
This policy is valid worldwide.
Pixels and Sub pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. Many pixels together form an image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored sub pixels together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the three colored sub pixels together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of other colors.
Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are two categories of pixel defects and several types of sub pixel defects within each category.
Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. That is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern. There are the types of bright dot defects:
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)
A red or blue dots while a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than neighboring dots.
bright dot
must be more than 50 percent brighter than neighboring
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark o
r
'off'. That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a light pattern. These are the types of black dot defects:
One dark sub pixel
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to one another may be more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects.

At Philips, end-of-life management primarily entails participation in national take-back initiatives and recycling programs whenever possible, preferably in cooperation with competitors.
There is currently a system of recycling up and running in the European countries, such as The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
In U.S.A., Philips Consumer Electronics North America has contributed funds for the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) Electronics Recycling Project and state recycling initiatives for end-of­life electronics products from household sources. In addition, the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) - a multi-state non-profit organization focused on promoting recycling market development - plans to implement a recycling program.
In Asia Pacific, Taiwan, the products can be taken back by Environment Protection Administration (EPA) to follow the IT product recycling management process, detail can be found in web site www.epa.gov.tw
