battery. When the player is on, you press this same
Power
button to toggle the volume, speed and
tone/pitch settings. Below the
green LED
are two triangular buttons. These are the
Up
and
Down
buttons used to increase or decrease the respective volume, speed or tone/pitch selected with the
toggle button. These settings are saved between sessions. For your convenience, separate volume
settings are saved for the built-in speaker and headphones. You can raise volume at higher levels
when in orientation mode.

Right Side of the Player
On the right side of the player, near the top corner is the
Record
button which has a red circle
painted on it with a raised dot in the middle.
1.2.4
Top Edge of the Player
The top edge consists of the SD memory card slot and just under it is the speaker outlet. To the
right of the SD slot is the microphone and headphone connector, which can also be used to
connect to external speakers. Note: Connecting only a microphone to your Trek will prevent all
message from being heard. It is recommended to use a headphone/microphone headset for
recording to receive full feedback.
1.2.5
Bottom Edge of the Player
In the centre of the bottom edge is the micro USB port. It has a small raised dot below it. Use this
port to access content on USB flash storage devices using the included short USB cable. You
may also plug the included long USB cable to this port and the other end to a computer USB port
in order to transfer content between the computer and the player. While connected to the
computer the battery will also recharge. Charging from the computer USB may be slower or the
player may not charge at all depending on the amount of power supplied by the computer. The
most effective way to recharge is to use the long USB cable connected to the included power
adapter to recharge the player from the power mains. Note: If you wish, you may safely use any
other commercial USB charger without damaging your Trek. However, other chargers may take
longer to charge the Trek. HumanWare recommends a 1 amp USB charger.

Back side of the Player (Battery Compartment)
The battery compartment is located in the back of the player. To remove the battery, first power off
the player and unplug it from AC power. Then, remove the silicone case from the player. Use your
finger to push up the small latch pin located at the top of the battery door and then lift the battery
off the player.
To replace the battery: The bottom edge of the battery has connector pins. Insert the bottom edge
first, and press gently on the top edge to snap in place.
The battery is designed to fit in only the correct orientation. If you feel any resistance it is likely you
have the battery upside down.
The fully charged battery will provide up to 15 hours playtime on headphones. However, battery
playtime may be reduced in the following cases:
•
If the battery is charged for less than 5 hours.
•
When the player is used in online or orientation mode.
•
Extensive use of book navigation commands.
•
High volume level or High Speed playback.
•
After about 400 recharge cycles the ability for the battery to hold a charge will start to
diminish.

computer. When the player is powered Off and plugged in, the power LED indicator will blink and
