Digi-Link PC Software
Digi-Link software runs on your desktop computer. It simply and easily
downloads images to your Digi-Frame™. Digi-Link also allows you to
upgrade the software in your Digi-Frame™ as new features and
enhancements become available (see Upgrading Your Digi-Frame™’s
Software).
In order to connect the Digi-Frame™ to your computer we have includ-
ed the Digi-Link serial cable. The Digi-Link™ cable has two dedicated
connector ends.
The serial connector connects to the serial port on the back of most
IBM compatible computers.
The serial connector also connects to the included Macintosh®
adapter, that connects to the Printer Port or Modem port on many
Macintosh® computers.
A serial to U SB adapter is ne eded to connect the Digi-Frame™ to the
USB ports used on many newer IBM compatible and Macintosh®
products.
The Digi-Frame™ connector connects to the Digi-Link port on the Digi-
Frame™.
For specific instructions on connecting the Digi-Frame™ to your com-
puter, see “Connecting the Digi-Frame™ to your Desktop PC“ in the
“getting started” chapter.
We recommend connecting the Digi-Frame™ to the computer before
running the Digi-Link Software.

How to optimize your pictures for display on Digi-Frame™:
The screen resolution of the Digi-Frame™ is 640 x 480 pixels.
Displaying images larger than this will not increase detail or reso-
lution when displayed on the Digi-Frame™.
Shooting pictures at 640 x 480 or adjusting the resolution in
image manipulation software down to this size will increase the
number of pictures that can be stored on a Memory Storage Card.
It will also spe ed decompression of the pictures, improving
slideshow performance.
Your Digi-Frame™ will automatically reduce the size of large image
files to fit on the screen. Images smaller than 640 x 480 pixels will
not be enlarged. For a pleasing "random border" effect, try using
your image editing software to reduce your images to varying
sizes smaller than 640 x 480. If you want an image to fill the
screen completely, ensure that it has an aspect ratio (ratio of width
to height) of 4:3 (or 3:4 for vertical pictures).
Caring for the screen:
The screen on the Digi-Frame™ is made of glass and is extremely
delicate. It can easily scratch. Treat the screen with care and avoid
touching it. If the screen becomes dirty, use a soft, absorbent
cloth, and a quality glass cleaning solution, or an LCD cleaning
solution to clean it.
The backlight of the display panel in your Digi-Frame™ has a mini-
mum life expectancy of at least 10,000 hours. This is equivalent to
about 14 months of continuous 24-hour usage. To prolong the life
of your Digi-Frame's display we suggest turning it off when not in
use. If used five hours or less per day it will last at least five years
