Safety Instructions:
- Moisture: Do not expose the product to rain or moisture to reduce fire or shock hazards.
- Servicing: Do not remove the cover; refer servicing to qualified personnel.
- Remote Control Batteries: Keep button batteries out of reach of children due to choking and chemical burn hazards.
- Indoor Use: The DPF is for indoor use only.
- Ventilation: Do not block ventilation holes on the back of the DPF.
- Heat/Sunlight: Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Power Cable: Route the power cable carefully to prevent it from being walked on or pinched.
- AC Adapter: Use only the included AC adapter to avoid voiding the warranty.
- Unplugging: Unplug the power cord when the unit is not in use or before maintenance.
Connectivity:
The DPF can be connected directly to a computer via a mini USB cable (not supplied, may need to be purchased separately from QPIX).
Troubleshooting (FAQ highlights):
- No Photo in Calendar: Ensure a photo file is present in the current input source (USB, SD, or built-in memory) and selected via the Browser.
- Input Source Priority: When both USB and SD cards are inserted, SD card files are played first. To play USB files, select USB as the input source.
- Media Format Compatibility: The DPF supports most picture formats but may not read all images. Digital cameras may save images in non-standard formats; refer to the camera manual or transfer files to supported formats.
- Slow Photo Loading: Higher resolution photos load slower. Using lower resolution images can speed up loading time.
- Upside Down Photos/Videos: Rotate the frame if content appears upside down.
- Memory Card Not Reading: Ensure the memory card is supported, inserted correctly, and the input source is selected.
