7. Memory Card Operation
The DF-1710 can read media from memory cards by means of external USB card reader. The following card
readers have been tested and are known to work with the DF-1710. No software installation is required in the
DF-1710 to support these readers.
CompUSA CompactFlash™ USB Card Reader, SKU#51492.
Microtech Dazzle® ZiO!™ CompactFlash, SmartMedia™, Memory Stick™, and SD/MMC™ Reader/Writers. The
Dazzle® ZiO!™ series is compact enough to plug directly into the DF-1710’s USB slot and remain hidden
behind the decorative frame.
Digi-Frame will conduct ongoing tests of additional card readers and update the list of supported devices on
our website periodically. In general, single-slot card readers (and USB Flash “pen drives”) that do not require
driver installation under Mac OS 8.6-9.x or Windows2000®, Windows ME®, or WindowsNT® should work.
These card readers work with “generic” drivers supplied in the computer operating systems. Multi-slot readers
may or may not work, if they do, only the “first” slot, i.e. the one with the lowest DOS drive name, will
function.

Card Reader Installation
No driver or software installation is required in the Digi-Frame. Plug your card reader into the USB port in the
connector bay at the rear of the DF-1710. You do not need to turn off your Digi-Frame when plugging and
unplugging a card reader, however , if you’re unplugging one brand or model of card reader and plugging in a
different one, you will need to reboot the Digi-Frame for the new model to be recognized.
Card Reader Operation
Insert a memory card containing JPEG images, MPEG-1 movie files, and/or script files into your card reader.
Access the main menu and select “Scan Card or USB Disk”. Select “Create new slideshow from card contents”
from the submenu. After choosing a naming option a message will appear onscreen that the card is being
scanned and files copied. Once copying is complete the new slideshow will start automatically.
Memory card slide show directories and scripts are handled identically to CD-ROM slideshows. Please refer to
the CD-ROM sections of the User’s Manual for more detailed information.
