3 Reinsert the battery holder into the

remote control.

WARNING

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.

Notes

• When the lithium battery becomes weak, the

operating distance of the Remote control may shorten, or the Remote control may not function properly. In this case, replace the battery with a Sony CR2025 lithium battery. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

• 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.

• 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.

Basic operations

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.

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.

Continued

When the photo frame is placed in the portrait orientation, the image is also automatically rotated to its proper orientation.

DPF-D72 only: The directions indicated on the direction button on the rear panel depend on the orientation of the photo frame.

To display the photo frame on the wall

You can hang the photo frame on the wall using the following procedure.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

suitable for the screw holes on the rear panel.

4mm (3/16 inch)

More than 25mm (1 inch)

Notes

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

• DPF-A72/D72 only: When the photo frame is placed in the portrait orientation, the Sony logo doesn't light up.

• The photo frame does not detect and rotate the orientation of images when [Auto display orientation] on the (Settings) tab is set to [OFF].

• A magnet is contained in the storage portion of 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.

Notes

• Use screws suitable for the quality of the material of the wall. The screws may be damaged, depending on the type of material used in the wall. Set the screws in a pillar or stud in the wall.

• When you want to re-insert the memory card, remove the photo frame from the wall, then eject and re-insert the memory card while the photo frame is placed on a stable surface.

• Remove the stand and store it in the storage portion provided on the rear when you hang the photo frame on the wall.

Since a magnet is contained in the storage portion, you can keep the stand attached to the portion.

• Connect the DC cable of the AC adaptor to the photo frame and hang the photo frame on the wall. Then connect the AC adaptor to the wall outlet.

• We take no responsibility for any accidents or damage caused by defects of attachment, misuse, or natural disasters, etc.

• Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

• Insert the plug of the AC adaptor firmly, if the connection is loose, the photo frame may turn off when it is moved.

• After use, remove the AC adaptor from the DC IN 5 V jack of the photo frame, and remove the AC adaptor from the outlet.

• Even if your photo frame is turned off, power will still be supplied if the AC adaptor remains connected and plugged into the wall outlet.

• Do not turn the photo frame off or disconnect the AC adaptor from the photo frame before the standby indicator turns red. Doing so may damage the photo frame.

About the AC plug

Attaching the AC plug

Attach the AC plug to the AC adaptor main unit as follows:

PUSH tab clicks when the AC plug is slid firmly into place.

Notes

• The AC plug may be removed from the AC adaptor main unit by pushing the “PUSH” tab. When using the AC adaptor, however, you do not have to remove the AC plug. Make sure to use the AC adaptor with the AC plug firmly attached. If the AC plug is removed, slide it into the AC adaptor main unit until it clicks into place as illustrated above.

• The AC plug shape may differ depending on the region you purchase the photo frame.

Removing the AC plug from the wall outlet

If the AC plug remains inserted in the wall outlet, remove it as follows:

Metal terminals at the rear of the AC plug.

Notes

• If handled roughly, the AC plug may become detached from the AC adaptor main unit and remain in the wall outlet. If this occurs, grasp the AC plug with dry hands as illustrated above and remove it from the wall outlet. Do not use a tool. Be careful not to touch the metal terminals at the rear of the AC plug.

• Check to see if there is no trouble with the AC adaptor main unit and AC plug, and then slide the AC plug into the AC adaptor main unit until it clicks into place.

• If there is any problem with the AC adaptor main unit or AC plug, consult with your Sony service facilities for repair.
