Do you have a question about the VISTAFRAME VF-100 Series and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
screen remains blank. Power light is on and pressed buttons and nothing is displayed
The Vialta VISTAFRAME VF-100 Series screen may be blank despite the power light being on due to the power-saving mode. The device has a motion sensor that wakes it from power-saving mode when movement is detected. Try waving your hand 4-6 inches in front of the sensor or pressing any button to wake it up. If the issue persists, check the brightness settings or ensure a compatible memory card with supported JPEG files is inserted.
