About descriptions in this manual

The operations described in this manual are based on remote control operation.

When an operation is performed differently, for example, with the remote control and the buttons on the photo frame, it will be explained in a tip.

Basic operations

Preparing the remote control

The supplied lithium battery (CR2025) has already been inserted into the remote control. Pull out the protective sheet before use as shown in the figure.

Replacing the battery of the remote control

If the remote control stops working, replace the battery (CR2025 lithium battery) with a new one.

1 Press the tab in.

Protective sheet

Basic operations

2 Pull the battery holder out.

3 Insert a new battery and slide the

battery holder back into the remote control.

Insert the battery so that “+” is facing upwards.

Notes

• Using a battery other than the specified one may result in the battery rupturing.

• Dispose of used batteries as specified by the local authorities.

• Do not leave the remote control in a very hot and humid place.

• Take care that no foreign objects get inside the remote control when you, for example, replace the battery.

Continued

• Incorrect use of the battery may cause leaking and corrosion.

– Do not recharge the battery.

– When the remote control will not be used for a

long period of time, remove the battery from the remote control to prevent leaking and corrosion.

– Incorrectly inserting, shorting, dismantling, or

heating the battery, or throwing it into a fire may cause the battery to rupture or leak.

Setting the stand

1 Hold the photo frame tightly and

insert the stand straight into the screw hole on the rear panel.

2 Screw the stand into the screw hole

firmly until the stand stops turning.

Setting to portrait or landscape orientation

You can set the photo frame to portrait or landscape orientation by rotating it without moving the stand.

When the photo frame is placed vertically, the display is also automatically rotated to the portrait orientation.

The directions indicated on the direction button on the rear panel depend on the orientation of the photo frame.

Notes

• Check whether the stand is stable. If the stand is not set properly, the photo frame may fall over.

• The Sony logo does not light up when the photo frame is placed vertically or turned off.

• You can also rotate the image manually (page 31).

• A magnet is contained in the space for storing the stand. Do not keep anything that is easily affected by magnetism, such as a cash card or credit card, near the photo frame. If you place the photo frame near a cathode-ray tube television, the colors of the television screen may be affected.

Tip

It is easier to turn the stand if you wind or wrap a rubber band tightly around the stand when you remove the stand from the photo frame.
