Safety Notes:

• Do not expose the player to heavy vibrations and do not drop or knock it.
• Moisture or liquid that penetrates the casing can make your digital photo frame irreparable. If liquid spills on the device, disconnect it from the power
  supply immediately and consult your specialist dealer.
• Never open the picture frame.
• Select a location where the picture frame can safely stand and can not fall down.
• The digital picture frame is a technically complex and high quality development. However, technical or electrical devices in the immediate vicinity of the picture frame can cause faulty operation. For this reason, always choose a location far enough away from TVs, radios, W-LAN devices and microwaves.
• Do not expose the device to dust or sand. The picture frame must be continually connected to the mains supply to prevent faults caused by static electricity.
• Only connect the picture frame to a suitable mains socket. The mains socket must always be easily accessed. Ensure that the cable is properly routed and maintains the frame in a safe state.
• The picture frame has a modern, high resolution LCD panel. Always avoid knocking the side of the picture frame and the display.
• Do not stand the picture frame in direct sunlight. Never operate the device when it is standing on a carpet or other textile mat. The ventilation holes on the base of the digital picture frame must not be covered.
• The display of your picture frame is behind protective glass. Only clean this when required. To do this, use a soft microfibre cleaning cloth (e.g. Hama item no. 42267 and 78399) or a special cleaning cloth for LC displays. Never use strong cleaners or cleaners that contain alcohol.
• Please contact your specialist dealer if you find a fault with your digital picture frame.

• Please observe the technical data in the appendix with regard to multimedia compatibility when connecting USB devices or displaying photos and playing music, videos or films (according to the device specification).

• Please note that that files that are displayed or played on the digital picture frame may be subject to copyright laws from third parties. All liability claims resulting from this are excluded by the manufacturer.

• Never remove the inserted memory card when playing or disconnect any USB devices.
• Return to the function selection menu using the EXIT/ENTER button before switching off the device. Do not switch off the device or disconnect it from the power supply when playing. Disconnect the digital picture frame from the mains power after switching it off using the ON button.
• When using external earphones/headphones (function according to device specification), make sure you do not listen over long periods of time or at high volume levels. This may cause hearing loss.
• When using the integrated loudspeaker (function according to device specification), loud volumes may lead to distortion. Set a lower volume if this occurs.
• Use the device with the enclosed power supply unit only. If the casing of the power supply unit or the picture frame is faulty, disconnect the device immediately from the mains power and contact your specialist dealer.
• Disconnect the device from the mains power immediately if unusually high operating temperatures, strange operating noises or smoke development occurs.
• The digital picture frame is sealed/closed. Guarantee claims are void if the seal is tampered with or the casing is opened.

Please contact the specialist dealer you purchased the device from if you find a fault with your digital picture frame. Your dealer can quickly deal with your customer service requirement without problem. Service and repairs on your digital picture frame must only be performed by authorised specialist workshops.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

The picture frame can not be switched on:

Cause: Problem with the electrical supply of the picture screen.

Check that the plug of the power adapter is connected correctly and completely. Also check that the power supply unit is connected to the power supply and supplied with electricity

The picture frame can no longer be operated when selecting files:

Cause: Safety violation in the internal software of the digital picture frame.

This may be due to the file format used. There are some config gurations that cause the software of the digital picture frame to crash. However, the cause does not lie with the technology/software of the digital picture screen, but with the file convention of the file to be displayed or played. If the digital picture frame can not be restored using the EXIT button in the function selection menu or can not be switched off, disconnect the picture frame from the mains supply. Reconnect it and switch it on again after a few seconds.

Films/images (according to the device specific cation) appear out of focus or grainy on the display

Cause: the data rate/quality or resolution is too low The quality loss of images is caused by compression and insufficient resolution. If it is possible to have a higher resolution for the data, use this when displaying or playing fi les.

Files are not displayed:

Cause: Resolution too high

Please note that loading requires a lot more time for large file sizes. Reduce the image size (dimensions in pixels) if required.

The sound is heavily distorted (varies according to the device specifi cation):

Cause: The volume level is too high

Reduce the volume level until the distortion disappears.

USB devices are not displayed when connected.

Cause: incompatible USB protocol

Not all devices support USB communication in the same way. If in doubt, test another device with the digital picture frame.

Data on a memory card can not be accessed.

Cause: incompatible memory card or incorrect data media format

There are some types of memory cards/media that are not compatible with the digital picture frame. In this case, the card is not recognised and can not be used to display or play files. Check whether the card uses the FAT or FAT32 file system.

The file name does not completely appear in the file menu or appears abbreviated.

Cause: File name is too long

The digital picture frame supports file names. File names that are too long can not always be fully displayed due to the limited display size and are therefore abbreviated. If the file name contains special characters and/or umlauts, these may be replaced by special characters/symbols.
