Troubleshooting FAQ
Can I put images on my iiNet Piix without the need to use MMS?
Absolutely. By purchasing an SD card, you can load any pictures you have on your home computer onto the card. They will be added directly to the slideshow when the card is inserted into your iiNet Piix.
Please note, GIF images will not be animated, but can be displayed statically.
An image I have sent to the iiNet Piix is not displaying, and has not been received. How do I resolve this?
Try resending the image. If you find the phone is confirming the message is sent, check you have the correct phone number for your iiNet Piix.
If you have resent, and the number is correct, turn the Piix unit off for a few minutes, then power it back on.
Following this, check the signal strength of the device. If it is sufficient, try sending a picture from another phone to determine if the handset may be the issue.
If other handsets have the same issue, contact iiNet Support for further assistance.
Why do I sometimes have to wait a long time for an image to display on my Piix?
This could be because the image is quite large or in a high resolution. In this instance, the Piix can take some time to properly display the image.
Some images that can be seen on my computer do not show up on my Piix. Why is this?
The Piix only supports certain formats. If you find an image is not displaying on the Piix, it could be that it is not in a supported format.
Formats supported by the Piix (Audio, video and image) are listed below.
