IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance, or the one described in the operating instructions and adhere to them.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Polarization
This set may be equipped with a polarized ac power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.

Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the appliance.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.
– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.
– Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
– Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
– Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
Lightning
For added protection for this set during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning and powerline surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the set.
– If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
– If the set does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation.
– When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Notes on LCD screen
• The displayed image on the screen is not identical in picture quality and colors with the printed image because phosphor methods or profiles differ. Please regard the displayed image as just a reference.
• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.
• Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions.
• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the printing in any way.
• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

Precautions
On safety
• Be careful not to set or drop any heavy objects on the power cord, or to damage the power cord in any way. Never operate this photo frame with a damaged power cord.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the photo frame and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Never disassemble the photo frame.
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the power cord itself.
• When the photo frame is not going to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Do not handle the photo frame roughly.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the photo frame from the electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing the photo frame.
On installation
• Avoid placing the photo frame in a location subject to:
– vibration
– humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Do not use electrical equipment near the photo frame. The photo frame will not work properly in electromagnetic fields.
• Do not place heavy objects on the photo frame.
On the AC adaptor
• Even if your photo frame is turned off, AC power (house current) is still supplied to it while connected to the wall outlet via the AC adaptor.
• Be sure to use the AC adaptor supplied with the photo frame. Do not use other AC adaptors, as this may cause a malfunction.
• Do not use the supplied AC adaptor for other devices.
• Do not use an electrical transformer (travel converter), as this may cause overheating or a malfunction.
• In case the cord of the AC adaptor is damaged, do not use it any longer, as this may be dangerous.
On moisture condensation
If the photo frame is brought directly from a cold location to a warm location or placed in an extremely warm or humid room, moisture may condense inside the unit. In such cases the photo frame will probably not work properly and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture condensation occurs, unplug the AC power cord of the photo frame and do not use the photo frame for at least one hour.
On transport
When you transport the photo frame, remove the memory card, external devices, AC adaptor and connected cables from the photo frame and put the photo frame and its peripherals in the original box with the protective packaging.
If you no longer have the original box and packing parts, use similar packing material so that the photo frame will not be damaged while being transported.
On cleaning
Clean the photo frame with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.
