). A full recharge takes up to 5 hours on AC power. Computers
supply different levels of power or perhaps no power at all on their USB ports depending on the
computer and its configuration. Therefore, when recharging from a computer USB, the Stream
will likely take longer to recharge, or possibly not recharge at all, depending on the USB power
supplied by the computer.
You may safely use a micro USB AC adapter other than the supplied power adapter.
HumanWare recommends a 1 amp USB power adapter. Adapters with less power will likely
require more than 5 hours to fully recharge the battery.
When the player is operating on battery and left in pause mode for more than 30 minutes, it will
shut Off automatically to save the battery
.
Important: It is normal for the battery to become warm during recharging. Therefore, it is
recommended not to charge the battery with the player near a heat source or within the optional
leather carrying case.
Note: The player's model and serial number can be found in the battery compartment. This same
information can also be obtained by pressing

NLS Book Cartridge (United States only)
Your Stream can play the special book cartridges supplied by the National Library Service for the
Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) in the United States providing you are eligible to receive
NLS books and your Stream has been authorized to play them. Please contact your local library
for more information on NLS service eligibility. The book cartridge is a USB flash device and can
be played on your Stream by connecting it to the micro USB port on the bottom edge of the player
using the included short USB cable.
1.2.9
Copying Books from USB Devices or NLS cartridges
You may copy DAISY or MP3 books from a USB flash device to the Stream
’s SD card. You may
also copy books from a book cartridge used by the NLS in the United States. Connect the USB
flash device or NLS cartridge to the Stream using the short USB cable. To copy, press key
3
while the book is playing or stopped. The progress of the copy operation will be announced
regularly until the copy is completed. This copying process can be cancelled at any time by
pressing the
Star
key. If any special character (\, /, :, *, <, >, |, .) is in the book title, it will be
replaced by "_". You can play or copy USB flash media only when the Stream is operating on
battery power because the USB port cannot be connected to a power outlet and the flash media
at the same time, so be sure your battery has a good charge before copying the USB book.
