FAQ & troubleshooting

The Rio is connected to the USB, why doesn’t the computer recog-
nize it?

First, make sure the Rio software is running and check to make sure the USB cable is fully 
connected to both the Rio and the computer. You can also try unplugging the USB cable and 
plugging it back in. 

Where is the serial number located on the Rio?

The serial number (S/N) is on the back of the Rio.

The AA battery inside my Rio drains even if I haven’t used it for a 
while. What causes this?

The Rio player always uses some battery power. When Rio is turned “off,” it actually is in a 
low-power mode. If you know you will not use Rio for a while, remove the AA battery to pre-
serve its charge.

Can I use any flash memory card to increase my Rio’s memory?

No. The Rio One only uses a 3.3 volt (v) flash ROM memory card. Do not use 5v cards. You 
can purchase flash memory cards for your Rio player online from the 

Rio Web site

. Flash 

memory cards can also be purchased from retail electronic stores.

What brand replacement alkaline batteries do you recommend?

Your Rio One is powered by one AA size alkaline battery (included). Your Rio will run longer 
and perform best when using a good quality battery. Poor quality or leaking batteries can 
damage the Rio One. The following brands of replacement batteries are approved for use 
with the Rio One:

Energizer AA size alkaline.

Duracell Ultra AA size alkaline.

What does the Rio Hold feature do?

The 

Hold

 feature on the Rio locks all buttons and controls except the Power switch. 

Hold

 is 

useful at times when the Rio may be bumped, for example, when exercising.

How do I upgrade the Rio firmware?

Checking your Rio’s firmware version

Important: First determine the version of the firmware installed on your Rio. Do not 
“downgrade” your Rio firmware by installing an older version.
