Set up DPF to connect to Photo Sharing Websites
Setting up your DPF to connect with the photo sharing websites requires the following 3 steps, which are covered later in this section:
A.
Set up Wi-Fi Network by assigning the Wi-Fi network
ID
and
password
on the DPF.
B.
Establish an account with the online photo sharing website and upload your photos to their website.
(The available online photo
sharing websites vary depending on the DPF models.)
C.
Assign your photo sharing website
User ID
and
password
on the DPF to connect with the site and view your uploaded photos
directly through the DPF.
You will use a virtual keyboard to enter data in some of the setup screen fields. If you need help with navigating the keyboard,
refer to the Virtual Keyboard instructions on page 8.

SSID buttons to manually enter the Network ID.
