Backup recommendations

To avoid potential risk of data loss caused by accidental operation or malfunction of the digital photo frame, we recommend that you save a backup copy of your data.

Notes on LCD screen

• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.

• Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a long period may cause malfunctions.

• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the viewing in any way.

• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.
