Using FrameChannel with the Digital Spectrum Wireless Picture Frame

The Digital Spectrum frame is set up using the onscreen menu and keyboard. Setting up your Digital Spectrum frame to showcase all your FrameChannel images can be completed in minutes. FrameChannel just posted some very useful instructions on setting up Digital Spectrum frames. Check them out HERE

A few notes on the set up process:

After you plug your frame in and enter the date and time, you’ll be ready to set up the RSS feed from your FrameChannel account.

The first thing you need to do is set Digital Spectrum as you frame type in your FrameChannel account settings.

If your internet connection requires a network key, you’ll want to have that handy before you start the set up process.

Using the keyboard on the DigitalSpectrum frame can be a bit tedious, but you’ll only have to set up your RSS feed info once. You will need to use the Shift button to enter capital letters and common symbols, such as “&” and “?”, both of which are used in most of the RSS feed addresses.

What if FrameChannel doesn’t appear as an option?
Have you connected your frame to the wireless network and entered the RSS feed address, but FrameChannel still doesn’t appear as an option on the Photo sharing website menu?

First, ensure that you are connected to the correct wireless network. Then, check that you have entered the RSS feed info correctly. With such a long address, it’s easy to make a mistake!

As noted in the instructions, your frame will update itself with any changes made to your FrameChannel account only as often as is set by the Frame Update Frequency settings in your account. The default setting is 15 minutes, so any changes made to your channels from your account won’t appear immediately. You can change this setting for a faster response time if desired.
