4. Wi-Fi and Internet Setup 4.1 Connect the device to a Wi-Fi wireless network Each unit has a dedicated email address, which makes it possible for the device to receive pictures directly from the Internet. To receive pictures, the device must be connected to the Internet through a Wi-Fi gateway. Here is how to connect your photo frame to a local Wi-Fi network: 1. Access the Main Menu (If you are playing a slideshow, press slowly the button Menu 2 times to come back to the Main Menu) 2. Scroll to CHANGE SETTINGS and press " " to enter it 3. Scroll to Wi-Fi and press " ". The device will automatically start a scanning process to discover available wireless networks. 4. Using the UP and DOWN keys to navigate the interface and select the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to. 5. Press the button to connect to the selected network. If the network has its security enabled, the device will automatically pop up a window where you can enter the security key. All other parameters are AUTOMATICALLY configured by your Pix-Star. After you enter the security key in the interface using the virtual keyboard, press CONFIRM then press JOIN, it will start the Wi-Fi connection process. Note 1: A DHCP server must be running on your network in order to automatically assign an IP address to your device. Most personal Wi-Fi networks run a DHCP server. Note 2: Connection to Public Hotspots or to a network that requires an authentication with user name and password through a web page (HTML) are NOT supported by this product (there is no browser in the device). If you use a router with a “guest” access that uses this web page authentication mode please connect to the “main” access instead.

4.2 Register and Manage the Device on the WEB First-time users should register their frame online by following these instructions: Go to the www.pix-star.com webpage and click on the “Register a new Pix-Star” button. Complete the form, choose a password and an email address you want to assign to your device, and your device will be ready to use! You can find the device ID (serial number also called “MAC ADDRESS”) by accessing the CHANGE SETTINGS menu then the ABOUT menu which gives all the information on your device. 5. Receive Pictures by Email Directly on the Device To add a picture to your device, simply send an email with a picture attachment directly to your device’s email address. Your pix-star email address is something like “xxxxx@mypixstar.com” where “xxxxx” is the left part of the email address that you chose when registering the unit. Note 1: You can send several pictures in the same email. Note 2: You can configure FILTERS on incoming emails to select which person is allowed to send photo-mails to your Pix-Star. To manage the filtering options, log into your account at pix-star.com. On the frame, by going to the CHANGE SETTINGS menu, then PHOTO-MAIL menu, you can configure the way Pix-Star handles incoming photo-mails. You have the following choices: - Manually Confirm (default configuration) In this mode, when a new photo-mail arrives, your Pix-Star displays an icon (“envelope”) on top of the slide show and a message on the main menu. You can manually open the photo-mail by pressing the button at the bottom of the remote control or by selecting ''You have a new message'' that appears in the Main Menu. It opens a window that displays photos individually, and provides the sender’s email address, date and time (GMT format) and the subject of the email. Moreover, you can decide which photos you want to KEEP or DELETE. The “manual confirm” mode is very convenient for providing full control of incoming photo-mails. - Accept Auto & Show In this mode the device AUTOMATICALLY accepts photo-mails. Photo-mails open one by one and the attached pictures are displayed for 10 seconds then automatically stored in the local memory of your device. This mode is particularly suited for users who want simplicity, as it does not require much interaction with the device. - Accept Automatically This mode is the same as “Accept Auto & Show” except that the device AUTOMATICALLY accepts photo-mails WITHOUT previewing them on the screen for

10 seconds (photo-mails are added locally without any preview). The reception of a new photo-mail is not notified. This mode is particularly suited for users who want simplicity, as it does not require any interaction with the device. Note 1: Once accepted, the photos arriving by email are stored in the “MY LOCAL PICTURES” menu then “PIXSTAR” and “INBOX” sub-menus. Note 2: If you delete a photo received by email on the frame, you still have a copy of it online in your personal Pix Star account 6. Share Pictures with Friends Directly on the Device The device allows you to easily share your pictures with your friends. To do so, press the button while the picture you want to share is being displayed. A menu will show up which will include the following options: - Send to a new contact: This option allows you to send the picture to another device or an email address by entering it using the keyboard. - Select a contact from the contact list: This item is linked to your contact list, as stored on the www.pix-star.com website. You can quickly send pictures to all your friends or friends’ photo frames by selecting them. If you want to modify your contact list, you need to log in to the web site. The email address from which you received pictures on your frame are automatically added to your contact list. 7. Manage and View Online Albums 7. 1 Upload Pictures on your personnal account online. The device can display a slide show of pictures you stored online via the www.pix-star.com web site. You can upload pictures from 2 different sources: your computer and online external providers. -How to upload pictures from your computer? In order to do so, you need to create a “Pix-Star Album” first: 1. Log in to your personal area on the www.pix-star.com web site 2. Choose the “My web albums” menu on the left, then the “View my web album” sub-menu 3. Select “Create a new album” and follow the online instructions to upload pictures you store in your computer After you create your “Pix-Star album” you can manage it from the online sub-menu “My web album” (In this sub-menu, you can also remotely change the displayed slide show on your frame). Pictures uploaded to the web site will sync automatically to the frame after a few minutes, please wait.

To access your UPnP/DLNA server content from the device: 1. Go to the “My Local Pictures” menu (Main Menu) 2. Choose “My Network Devices” The device will automatically scan for devices on the network and display a list of those supporting UPnP/DLNA (Note: Make sure your Wi-Fi connection is configured properly before entering this menu). Once a UPnP/DLNA server is found you will see it on the device menu, just select it then enter the menu to browse its content and launch a slide show of the selected folders. When playing a slide show of a UPnP/DLNA the pictures are pulled out from the server in streaming mode so it is necessary to keep the UPnP/DLNA server running so that the device can play the slide show without interruption. Also, Wi-Fi needs to be constantly available. Note: Some UPnP/DLNA servers need special configuration in order to work properly with the device. Do not hesitate to check our KNOWLEDGE BASE in the www.pix-star.com web site where some explanations are provided or directly contact us by email at info@pix-star.com. 9. How to Use the Web Site -How to select the weather forecast for specific cities and countries The web site allows you to determine which weather forecasts will be displayed on your device. Under “Weather Forecast”, each city will be listed by country. By accessing “My weather”, you can choose to display several cities and countries in the same directory. Your weather forecasts will be accessible on your device by selecting “My web albums” (main menu). -How to manage your contacts You can use the www.pix-star.com web site to add contacts and create a contact list directly accessible from your device. It will allow you to send email to your friends from your photo frame, without having to enter email addresses on the frame. You can easily modify, add or delete a contact on this list. Moreover, you can create groups, and instantly send your favorite photos to all members of a specific group. -How to filter your emails You may choose to filter through all incoming emails to better control who is allowed to send pictures to your Pix-Star® photo frame. You can choose one of the following options: o No filtering - THIS IS THE DEFAULT MODE Anyone who knows your Pix-Star® email address can send pictures to your photo frame.

o Refuse all incoming emails except those coming from your “white list” (authorized individuals) o Accept all incoming emails except those coming from your “black list” (unauthorized individuals) 10. How the slide-show works, 4 DISPLAY MODES The slide-show can run in 4 different modes: the “Normal” mode, the “Collage 4 pix.” mode, the “Collage 5 pix.” mode and the “Smart Fill” mode. By default “Collage 5 pix.” is activated. When a slide show starts, whether automatically or launched from any menu of the device, it will display 5 pictures at a time in a nice “collage” type arrangement on the screen. You can easily change this configuration, when a slide show is playing: 1. Press MENU button 2. A menu bar with icons will show up from the left of the screen. 3. Go down to the 2nd icon from the BOTTOM named “Slide show Options” and press to enter 4. Go to “Display Mode” then choose one of the other 4 available modes. From the main menu: 1. Go to “ Change Settings” by pressing 2. Enter the “Slide-Show” sub-menu. 3. Go to “Display Mode” then choose one of the other 4 available modes. The “Normal” mode shows 1 picture at a time on the screen in full mode. The “Collage 4 pix” and “Collage 5 pix” are both a collage of 4 and 5 pictures. The “Smart Fill” mode shows 1 picture at a time on the screen but if the picture is slightly smaller than the screen, it will automatically make it full screen by stretching it a little (NOTE: in this mode pictures are stretched ONLY IF the picture size ratio is close to 4:3 to avoid too much distortion). 11.
