TROUBLESHOOTING

If your DPF seems not to be working as well as you might expect, please
work through this checklist before returning the product to Tesco.

The DPF will not switch on.

Switch off, Check the power supply connections, switch on again.

The DPF will not recognise a memory card.

You were playing another card when you inserted this card. Re-insert
the card. You may need to reformat the card.

The DPF will not play pictures on a card.

The pictures must be in jpg form and

smaller than 8000 x 8000 pixels.

My PC will not recognise the DPF.

You may have a USB drive inserted in the frame. Remove the drive,
remove the USB cable. Switch the frame off and on. Re-insert the USB

cable.The PC will now recognise the frame.

The DPF will not copy pictures to a card.

The card is full. The card is write-protected. The card will need re-for-
matting even though you can play pictures from the card on the DPF.

The handset is erratic.

The handset is too far from the frame. There is something between the
handset and the DPF. Replace the battery.

AFTER USE

Switch the set off via the POWER switch. Unplug the adaptor from the

mains and then unplug the adaptor from the Picture Frame.

Unplug any memory card or USB stick.

Store the unit and power adaptor in a cool dry place, out of the reach
of children and pets.

Note:

Though you can leave the frame in Standby indefinitely we do

not recommend this for the following reasons:

•  The USB ports are powered in standby.
•  The connected AC adaptor cable could be a source of danger.
•  You will consume power unnecessarily.

Further Information

The screen resolution is 800x480 pixels. This is a total resolution of
385,000 pixels (0.385MP). High resolution pictures will slow loading

times without improving viewability.
After extended use, the frame may get warm. This is normal and not a
cause for concern.
Contrary to popular belief, if you leave a static picture on the screen for a
long time you may leave a permanent ‘after image’ on the screen. Slide
show mode stops this from occurring.
