Refresh mode (DPF-D1020/D820/D720 only)

Due to one of the characteristics of the device, images stored for a long time or read many times may be subject to data error.

The photo frame refreshes the internal memory automatically to prevent these errors, depending on the status of the internal memory. The confirmation screen for refreshing the internal memory is displayed automatically when the refresh is needed.

The refresh starts automatically when you select [Yes] or when no operation is attempted for 30 seconds. If you select [No], the confirmation screen for refreshing is displayed again when the refresh is needed.

Do not turn off the photo frame while the internal memory is being refreshed. It may cause a malfunction.

It may take approximately 5 minutes to refresh the internal memory.

Notes

Notes on use

- For the latest information on the “Memory Stick” types that the photo frame supports, see the “Memory Stick” compatibility information on the Sony web site: http://www.memorystick.com/en/support/support.html (Select the area where you use your photo frame, and then select “Digital Photo Frame” from each area page.)

• Do not insert more than one “Memory Stick” at the same time, or this may cause trouble with the photo frame.
• If you use a “Memory Stick Micro” with the photo frame, the “Memory Stick Micro” needs to be inserted into an “M2” adaptor.
• If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro” into the photo frame without an “M2” adaptor, you may be unable to remove the “Memory Stick Micro”.
• If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro” into an “M2” adaptor, and insert the “M2” adaptor into a “Memory Stick Duo” adaptor, the photo frame may not operate properly.
• When you initialize a “Memory Stick”, use the initialization function of your digital camera. If you initialize it with your computer, images may not be displayed properly.
• When you perform initialization, all the protected images are erased. To avoid erasing important data by accident, make sure to check the contents of the “Memory Stick” before initialization.
• You cannot record, edit, or delete data if you slide the write-protect switch to LOCK.
• Do not attach any other material than the supplied label on the labelling position. When you attach the supplied label, be sure to attach it to the labelling position. Be careful that the label does not stick out.
