9 Important Safety Precautions
Always follow these basic safety precautions when using our Digital Photo Frame (DPF). This
will reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture. Do not remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all
servicing to qualified personnel.
• The DPF is for indoor use only.
• Unplug the DPF before performing care and maintenance.
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the back of the DPF at any time.
• Keep your DPF out of direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Route the power cable so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
on or against it. Pay particular attention to the point where the cable attaches to the DPF.
• Only use the AC adapter included with the DPF. Using any other power adapter will void
warranty.
• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when the unit is not in use.
Cleaning the DPF
Treat the screen gently.
To clean fingerprints or dust from the LCD screen we recommend using a soft, non-abrasive
cloth such as a camera lens cloth.
If you use a commercial LCD cleaning kit, do not apply the cleaning fluid directly to the LCD
screen. Clean the LCD screen with the cleaning solution applied to the cleaning cloth.
Clean the outer surface of the DPF with a soft cloth dampened with water.
