English Digital Photo Frame DPF-710A

Thank you for choosing a SilverCrest product.

This digital photo frame allows you to play pictures stored on a digital camera memory card as well as display the integrated calendar. The package includes a pedestal that can be used optionally and the possibility for wall-mounting provides maximum flexibility for this photo frame.

Important Safety Instructions

Before you use this device for the first time, please read the following notes in this manual and heed all warnings, even if you are familiar with handling electronic devices. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. If you sell or pass this device on to another person, it is imperative that you also hand over this manual.

Operating Environment

Position the device on a stable, even surface and do not place any objects on the device. The device is not for use in environments with a high temperature or humidity (e.g. bathrooms), and must be kept free of dust.

Operating temperature and humidity: 5 °C to 35 °C, max. 85 % RH.

Always make sure that

there is free circulation of air (do not place the device on shelves, on a thick carpet, on a bed, or anywhere that obstructs the ventilation slots, and leave at least 10cm clearance on all sides);

no direct heat sources (e.g. heating) can affect the device;

no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device;

contact with spray and dripping water and abrasive liquids is avoided and the device is never operated near water, and it must especially never be immersed (do no place any objects filled with liquids such as vases or drinks near the device);

the device is never placed in the immediate vicinity of magnetic fields

(e.g. loudspeakers);

no fire sources (e.g. burning candles) are placed on or near the device;

no foreign bodies are introduced into the device;

4


the device is not subject to any great temperature changes as this may cause moisture through condensation and short-circuit;

the device is not subject to excessive shocks and vibrations;

Power supply

Use only the supplied power adapter model Targa KSUFB0500100W1EU to avoid overheating, deformation of housing, fire, electric shock, explosions and other dangers. Never connect this power adapter to other devices.

Warning! Notice on Mains Separation:

In order to completely disconnect the device from the mains, the power adapter must be pulled out from the wall outlet. For this reason, the device should be positioned in a way that assures unobstructed access to the power outlet so that the power adapter can be immediately pulled out in an emergency situation. To avoid the danger of fire if the power adapter is not going to be used for a long while (e.g. during holidays), it should always be disconnected from the power socket. Before stormy weather when there is the danger of lightning, disconnect the device from the power supply.

Cables

Always hold all cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never hold the power adapter with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never place the device, heavy objects or furniture on the cable and take care that the cord does not become trapped, especially at the plug and sockets. Never make knots in the cable and do not tie it together with other cords. All cables should be positioned so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them. A damaged power adapter can cause a fire or an electric shock. Inspect the power adapter from time to time. Never use adapter plugs or extension cables that do not comply with the current safety regulations in your country, and do not modify any of the power adapter or cables yourself.

5


Maintenance and Care

Servicing is required when this device has been damaged in any way, for example, when the power adapter or housing is damaged, when liquid or objects have entered the device, when the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, when the product does not work normally or if the product has been dropped. If you notice any smoke, unusual noise or strange smells, switch off the device immediately and pull the mains cable from the power supply. In this case the device should not be used further and should be inspected by authorized service personnel. Please contact qualified personnel when servicing is needed. Never open the housing of the device, or the power adapter. If the housing is opened, your life is in danger due to electric shock. Only use a clean, dry cloth for cleaning. Never use any abrasive liquids. Do not attempt to open the housing of the device otherwise you will void your warranty.

Children

Electrical appliances do not belong in the hands of children! Do not allow children to play with electrical devices when not under supervision. Children may not be able to comprehend the presence of potential risks. Small parts can represent choking hazards. Keep the packaging away from children to avoid the danger of suffocation.

Getting Started

Mounting

Wall-Mounting

If you wish to mount the digital photo frame onto the wall, use the wall mounting holes (9) on the back panel of the device to orientate the photo frame either horizontally or vertically. Use one screw for vertical or two screws for horizontal mounting with a head diameter of max. 5 mm in order to support the photo frame weight safely. Please bear in mind that a suitable wall outlet should be located near the wall mount location.

Pedestal Mounting

In order to place the digital photo frame onto a table you will need to attach the supplied pedestal (D) onto the back panel of the device. Insert the pedestal into the hole (8) and turn it 90 degrees clockwise until it clicks into place. The asymmetrical shape of the pedestal makes it impossible to mount it in inverted direction. Once the pedestal is attached you can choose whether to place it horizontally or vertically on the table. i

Please note that the digital photo frame does not detect whether the pictures have been recorded in portrait (vertical) or landscape

(horizontal) format. It might be necessary to optimise the picture by using a suitable image-editing programme on a computer.


Connecting

Insert the round-shaped plug (13) of the cable into the connection port (7) of the photo frame and the flat-shaped plug (12) of the cable (C) into the power out receptacle of the power adapter (B). Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.

Notes for Picture Editing

Rotate

If you have taken a picture in portrait format (vertical) with your digital camera but the photo frame has been installed horizontally, you must rotate the picture to match the display. Most of the digital cameras already offer this function. Please read the User’s Manual of your digital camera to find out if this feature is available. Otherwise use a suitable image-editing programme on your computer to rotate the pictures.

17


The advantage of editing the picture is a persistent change of the format. If you rotate the pictures on your photo frame (see table on page 13 – Picture

Menu) the rotation will only apply to the current view, and the picture must be rotated again the next time you want to show it.

If you have installed the photo frame vertically you must rotate any pictures captured in landscape format.

Aspect ratio

The aspect ratio of pictures taken on a digital camera (4:3) does not match the aspect ratio of your digital photo frame (16:9). When displaying pictures without any size adjustment (see page 16 – Preferences, Aspect Ratio) black bars will appear in the left and right picture margins. If you want to optimise the picture display on your photo frame it is necessary to crop the picture by using a suitable image-editing programme on your computer.

Normally, this kind of programme is included in the package of most digital cameras.

To crop the pictures many programmes offer a function “Selection Frame” or “Crop”. Determine the crop frame for a 16:9 aspect ratio (matching the photo frame) and select the desired picture portion.

You can freely choose the position and size of the crop frame and exclude any undesired or disturbing picture contents.

Once you are done performing all changes, save your picture on the memory card.
