malfunction.
• Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a

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 viewing in any way.
• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold
location. This is not a malfunction.

Additional information
Precautions
On transport
When you transport the photo frame, remove the
memory card, 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.
Installation
• Avoid placing the photo frame in a location
subject to:
– vibration
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.
– humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
Cleaning
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Do not use electrical equipment near the photo
frame. The photo frame will not work properly
in electromagnetic fields.
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.
• 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 it is 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.
Restrictions on duplication
TV programs, films, video tapes, portraits of other
people, or other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized use of such materials may infringe
the provisions of the copyright law.
• 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.
Disposing of the photo frame
Even if you perform [Format internal memory],
the data in the internal memory may not be erased
completely. When you dispose of the photo
frame, we recommend that you physically destroy
the photo frame.
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
adaptor of the photo frame and do not use the
photo frame for at least one hour.
