1.10 Connecting the Album to a computer
If you connect a switched-on Album to a computer using
a USB cable, the Album displays the symbol of the
computer connection.
From the computer viewpoint, the Album behaves like an
external USB disk (with FAT32 format). It is possible
to view directories of photographs from the Album from
the computer. Also, it is possible to save, copy or delete
any data like when working with a common USB disk.
1.11 Connecting the Album to another Album
If you link two switched-on Albums using a USB cable,
they will behave as follows:
• The Album which is connected by means of the small
connector of the cable serves as the slave and behaves
like a USB disk (computer connection symbol appears
on the screen).
• The Album which is connected by means of the large
connector serves as the master and enables viewing,
copying, saving and deleting of photographs in the
slave Album (which behaves like an external memory
device).
2. Data backup
If you store important photographs in your Album, we
recommend you to perform their backup to a USB disk
or an SD card, and to have such a backup saved in a
location different from the Album. It is also possible to
back the photographs up in a computer.
Caution: The Album is a technical device whose failure
might cause the loss of the data stored in it.
3. Album maintenance
The Album requires no special maintenance. Protect its
surface against scratching. The screen may be cleaned
using a dry fine cloth (e.g. the one designed for cleaning
spectacles). Do not clean the Album with any chemical
agent or clean it with water.
Do not leave the Album exposed to the intensive sunshine
for a long time (e.g. behind a car window), there is
a risk of overheating a permanent damage.

5. Frequently asked questions
5.1 The display does not show the whole photograph,
why?
If the FULL SCREEN function of the Album is ON, the
format of photographs is adjusted to ft the screen. This
means that:
• if the photograph is in the portrait orientation, it is
turned 90 degrees (counter-clockwise),
• if the photograph has a different width or height that the
screen, the Album enlarges the photograph to fit its
smaller dimension exactly in the screen. Its larger
dimension will be equally cropped on both sided. This
may make the edges of the photographs hidden,
• as the photographs in the Album are always stored in
their original formats (width and height ratio), this
means that if you wish to display photographs in the
original format, turn off the FULL SCREEN function in the
ADVANCED SETTINGS menu. Then the photographs are
displayed as they were taken (unused screen space
remains black).
