To render your frame a standalone compact flashcard viewer, a new version of firmware must be loaded. You will need:
1. A 4MB (or larger) compact flashcard
2. A compact flashcard reader on your computer
3. The attached file
If you have any difficulty following the instructions given, please respond to this email. More detailed instructions will be provided, or we will help in any other way necessary. Depending on the 'compatibility' of our email systems, the attached file may be inaccessible; in which case, it will be sent by another system.
Step 1: Download the attached cydatd.sbu file onto a compact flashcard
You must create this directory structure on the compact flashcard:
driveID:\Weave\System\cydatd.sbu. To do this, create a folder on the
compact
flashcard named 'Weave'. With the Weave folder open, create a folder named
'System'. (Therefore, the System folder exists within the Weave folder.)
With the System folder open, detach the attached file to the compact
flashcard's System folder.
Step 2: Load the firmware into the frame Plug the frame's power cord into a functional outlet. Leave the power cord disconnected from the frame for now. Insert the compact flashcard with the proper directory structure. Hold the frame so that the compact flashcard/slot is facing up with the opposite side pressed securely into your lap.
While firmly holding the Pictures/Channels button 'in', plug the power cord
into the frame. Hold the Pictures/Channels button in until the frame
screen flashes and you see the following message displayed on the frame:
'You have entered the Upgrade Code. Press the 'Share!' Button to begin'.
When you can watch the frame for a few moments, press the Share! button on
the top of the frame. You will see messages displayed that indicate the
upgrade is being loaded, and asking you to wait. You will then see a
message that the software is being upgraded. Finally, the screen will flash
green and then go black.
Press the Menu button to turn the frame back on.
If you receive any error messages, just remove the compact flash card,
unplug the frame and begin again.
Step 3: Confirm the firmware was loaded
In Step 1, set the current time and click OK. Click OK for Step 2. The
Kodak Smart Picture Frame Splash Screen will appear and then the onboard
pictures will be displayed (unless you have already deleted them).
Press the Menu button. Using an arrow key, select Advanced and press OK.
In the lower right corner of this screen you should see:
