CHARGING THE BATTERY
The player has a built-in rechargeable battery that cannot be replaced by users. The operating time provided by the battery
depends on the battery’s current condition and age, the environment temperature, your volume setting and usage patterns.
The battery provides 8-10 hours of operating time on average. If the sound quality is reduced, the display backlight fades
or the player starts to behave erratically, the battery is probably exhausted. Only use the included charger to recharge the
battery. For maximum battery life, only charge the battery when it is completely exhausted. While charging it is recom-
mended to turn off the player; this reduces charging time. Battery charging is automatic, and takes approximately 4-5 hours
if the battery is completely exhausted. While charging is in progress, the status LED is lit up in red; the light goes off when
charging is complete. At that point, unplug the charger from both the network and the player.
• If you are charging the battery while using the player, the LED is lit up in orange, and turns to green when charging is
complete. At that point, unplug the charger from both the network and the player.
• Charging the battery takes longer if you are using the player.
• It is not recommended to stop charging before the battery is fully charged.
• It is natural for the charger to heat up; never cover the charger.
WARNINGS
• Before starting to use the player, read these instructions carefully, then keep them in an accessible place for future
reference.
• Do not disassemble or tamper with the player. Incorrect use renders the warranty void.
• Only use the included charger to recharge the player’s battery.
• Make sure that no external objects get into the USB socket or the memory card slot, as these can cause fatal damage.
• Protect the device from extreme temperatures, direct heat, sunlight, dust, humidity, and shock.
PRECAUTIONS
CLEANING
Use a soft, dry cloth and a brush for regular cleaning. To remove stronger stains, wet the cloth slightly with water. Avoid
scratching the display’s surface; never wipe the display when it is dry, and do not use a coarse cloth to clean the display.
Do no use detergents. Make sure no liquid gets inside the product or onto the connectors.
USING THE USB/SD CONNECTOR
• You can connect a USB stick (“pendrive”), MP3 audio player, MP4 media player or similar devices to the player’s USB
port. The memory card slot can host SD/SDHC/MMC cards. Supported fi le format for playback: MP3 audio fi les.
• In some cases external USB/SD devices may not be guaranteed to work properly. Manufacturers occasionally change
the internal design of their products (e.g., replace a chip used inside), which does not change the product’s main techni-
cal parameters, but it can affect the operation of devices designed for a similar but previous generation product. It is
therefore possible that even products of the exact same type yield different results. Do not use a USB hub; extension
cords are allowed.
• It is recommended to store the tracks you wish to play in the root folder. You can defi ne the playback order of the tracks by
renaming the fi les or adding a number at the front. We do not recommend the use of storage devices over 8 GB because
a large number of tracks can increase the time needed to access each track. Only store MP3 fi les for playback on the
storage device; the presence of other data/fi les can slow down the player or interfere with playback.
• The player detects MP3 fi les stored in subfolders as well, up to a depth of 6 subfolders.
• In order to protect their precision connectors, it is important to always insert and remove USB/SD/SDHC/MMC devices in
a straight position. If you insert a device at an angle, you can damage the connection socket on the player itself.
• SD cards are preferred over USB sticks because their design allows you to connect them in a safer and more stable way.
In addition, there is a lower risk of damaging the player by accidentally hitting the connected device. Any damage resulting
from such user error is not considered as a manufacturing defect, and is not covered by the warranty.
