Getting Started With Your Nixplay Frame

Set Up Your Frame

Use the cable stand to prop up your frame at the perfect viewing angle. You can position your frame in either portrait or landscape mode.

Select Nixplay Frames can be mounted on a wall. See the corresponding Wall Mounting Guide for compatible frames.

Turn On Your Frame

Your Nixplay Frame will automatically turn on once plugged. Use the included remote control to follow the on-screen instructions.

Create Your Nixplay Account

You’ll need a Nixplay account to pair and manage your frame. You can create a Nixplay account on the Nixplay app (Get it for iOS / Get it for Android) or at www.nixplay.com. Use your email address and create a unique password to create an account.

Pair Your Frame

Nixplay Frames need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to work. Connect your frame to the Wi-Fi network by entering your Wi-Fi password using your remote control. Once connected, a 16-digit serial number will appear on the frame screen.

Log into your Nixplay account on the Nixplay app or at www.nixplay.com. Select “Pair a New Frame” and enter the 16-digit serial number shown on the frame. Your Nixplay Frame should now be paired with your Nixplay account.
