Welcome to Polaroid PhotoMAX Digital Picture Frame
An internet – connected picture frame
Welcome to Polaroid PhotoMAX Digital Picture Frame, an internet-connected picture frame. From the front, your new digital
picture frame looks and feels like an ordinary picture frame.
Plug it in and you’ll discover there is nothing ordinary about the
Polaroid PhotoMAX Digital Picture Frame!
Here are some of the unique ways you can enjoy and share your
pictures:
Store and view up to 10 digital pictures in your frame.
Turn digital pictures into one-of-a-kind cards with personal
messages.
Create custom slide shows that run automatically, showcasing
your favorite digital pictures.
Set your frame to turn on and off automatically so that it’s
awake when you’re awake.
View personalized channels such as local weather and horoscopes brought to you by the Ceiva Network.
With your free membership at www.PolaroidDigital.com you
receive a personal online account where you can store and
manage your digital pictures, access your albums, and
remotely manage your frame from any web browser.
Here’s how it works: each night, the digital picture frame
uses your existing phone line to make a telephone call
through the Internet to your private photo album at
www. PolaroidDigital.com. The frame automatically checks
for and downloads up to ten new images. When you wake up
the next day, you’ll find a brand new slide show playing on
your frame!
