Frequently Asked Questions - 8” Linx Clas Ohlson

How do I start a slideshow on the digital photo frame?

Insert a USB memory or memory card with JPEG files. From the main menu, highlight USB, CARD, or Now Playing, then press the ▶ button to confirm. The slideshow will begin immediately.

What memory card types are supported?

The frame supports Secure Digital (SD), Multimedia Card (MMC), and Memory Stick (MS). Insert the card carefully into the slot marked SD/MMC/MS.

How can I adjust the display settings?

From the main menu, highlight Setup and press ▶. Use the arrow buttons (∧ and v) to navigate and ▶ to select. You can change language, slideshow time, shuffle, transition effects, brightness, contrast, saturation, and more.

My photo frame does not turn on. What should I do?

First, check that the power adaptor is correctly connected to both the frame and the wall socket. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is set to ON. If it still doesn't turn on, disconnect the adaptor and reconnect after a few seconds.

Why can't my memory card be read?

Make sure the memory card is one of the supported types (SD, MMC, MS) and that the files on it are in JPEG format. The frame may not read cards formatted in a different file system or with very high-resolution images.

How should I clean the screen?

Use a soft, lightly dampened cloth with a little washing-up liquid to clean the screen. Avoid using solvents or strong detergents, and be gentle to prevent scratches.

During slideshow playback, press the down arrow (v) button on the back of the frame to rotate the image. Alternatively, in the display menu, highlight the rotate icon and press ▶.

What is the maximum resolution for photos?

Yes. Go to Setup in the main menu, select Slideshow Time, and choose between 3 sec, 5 sec, 15 sec, 1 min, 15 min, or 1 hour.

Why does the frame go into standby mode automatically?

The frame may enter standby if not used for a while. To wake it, disconnect the power adaptor and reconnect it. Also, ensure the power switch is on.
