How Your CEIVA Frame Works
Your CEIVA frame will display a continuous slideshow of your photos from a camera memory card. If you choose to activate your PicturePlan service, your CEIVA frame will automatically display new photos every day after retrieving these photos from the CEIVA Network.The frame connects to the CEIVA Network through an ordinary analog phone line without interrupting your phone service. You don’t need an extra phone line. Optional broadband and wireless adapters are available to connect to a home network.Your CEIVA frame will always display memory card images, with or without a PicturePlan.
Throughout this manual, the words (PicturePlan only) in parentheses denote features and capabilities exclusively available with the PicturePlan Service.
