• Should any object or liquid fall into the  
housing, unplug VistaFrame and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it again.  
• Do not use VistaFrame near water or when  
you are wet.  
• Slots and openings on the VistaFrame are for  
ventilation to prevent overheating. Do not

slot on the side of VistaFrame. The card should slide  
in easily and VistaFrame should display “Loading”.

side of VistaFrame and try inserting the card again.

faster. To have your pictures load quicker, make sure the  
images on your memory card are lower resolution images.

Slideshow, some images may need to be rotated so that

instructions, is saved until the memory card is  
removed or the power is turned off.  
My Album Tip  
If you want to save a picture from your memory card to My  
Album, in a different orientation than how it currently saved  
on your memory card, VistaFrame can do it in three easy  
steps.  
29  
 
     
1) Display in full size the picture that you want to save in  
My Album (See Displaying Pictures with VistaFrame  
on page 13).
