Do not mix Portrait and Landscape slides in the same slideshow. If you do, be
sure to pre-scale them. The
MemoryFrame
does an excellent job of scaling,
but is not as speedy as a professional image editing program. If you are
showing a Portrait slideshow, you want all images to be 600 pixels wide, 800
pixels tall. If the images are smaller, the background fill color will show
through.

MemoryFrame Care
The screen on
MemoryFrame
is made of glass and is extremely delicate. It
can be easily scratched. Treat the screen with care and avoid touching it. If the
screen does become dirty, turn off the power and use a soft, absorbent cloth
(not tissue paper) dampened with water. Do not use Windex or other glass
cleaners to clean it unless they are specifically recommended as LCD cleaning
solutions. Please wipe off any moisture before turning the power back on.
Listed below are some additional precautions for the LCD screen:
•
LCD screen display surface never likes dirt, stains, or oil mists. Do not
use furniture polish. Do not use window cleaners, acetic acid, chlorine
compounds, or other glass cleaners to clean it unless they are
specifically recommended as LCD cleaning solutions. Otherwise, they
will damage the TFT LCD display screen.
•
The LCD screen scratches easily, please handle it carefully.
•
Avoid applying pressure to the surface of the LCD screen, as it may
cause display non-uniformity or other functional issues.

Do not twist or bend the module.
•
Prevent the use of unsuitable external force to the LCD display
module.
•
Be sure to operate the module within the specified temperature range
(32 – 85 degrees Fahrenheit, 0-30 degrees Celsius) and keep out of
direct sunlight.

Sudden temperature changes may cause condensation. This can cause
the LCD screen polarizer to be damaged.
•
Static electricity can damage the module. Please do not touch the
module without first discharging any static charge you may have.
