• Read all the instructions and retain this instruction manual.
• Ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains adaptor and power cable) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains adaptor before making or changing connections.
• Consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your photo frame.
