11 Frequently asked questions

Is the LCD screen touch-enabled?

The LCD screen is not touch-enabled. After you turn on the PhotoAlbum, you can use the touch panel to control the PhotoAlbum.

Can I use the PhotoAlbum to delete photos on a memory card?

Yes, it supports operations to delete photos on an external device, such as a memory card.

Ensure that you enable the deletion function on a memory card available on the PhotoAlbum.

Why does my PhotoAlbum not show some of my photos?

• The Photoalbum plays only JPEG photos

(maximum: 8000 x 8000 pixel resolution) and Progressive JPEG photo (Up to 1024 x 768 pixels).

Ensure that you set the real time, auto-off time, and auto-on time correctly. The PhotoAlbum automatically turns off its display exactly at the auto-off time. If the time has already passed for the day, it starts to go into auto-off status at the specified time from the next day.

Can I increase the memory size to store more pictures on the PhotoAlbum?

No. The internal memory of the PhotoAlbum is fixed and cannot be expanded. However, you could switch between different photos by using different storage devices on the PhotoAlbum.

The PhotoAlbum is ON but the PhotoAlbum does not respond anymore. What can I do?

Ensure that the PhotoAlbum is turned on. Then, use a pin to trigger the RESET button located on the back to restore the system.
