By default, your Pix-Star is in a mode which displays a small “envelope” icon at the top of the screen each time a picture is received by email. When you press the open mailbox button on the remote control, Pix-Star will display each Photomail received, along with the sender, date & time and subject shown at the bottom. You can then choose to either keep the picture or delete it right away.

By going to the “settings” menu, you can select 2 other modes inside the “system” sub-menu.

The second mode is called “Automatically & notify“.  In this mode, Pix-Star will automatically add all incoming Photomail to your default slide show without the need for you to open the mailbox. This is done WITH a sound notification (a sound is played when a picture arrives).

The third  mode is called “Automatically“. In this mode, Pix-Star will automatically add all incoming Photomail to your default slide show without the need for you to open the mailbox. This is done WITHOUT any notification (no sound, no message on the frame).

These last 2 modes are quite convenient for people who want to keep things simple. Nothing to do, no need to touch anything on the frame!

These modes are particularly suitable for people who are not computer-savvy.
