Instructions
1. Put up to five audio files onto the micro-SD card. Usually this is done by putting the card into a
reader attached to your computer and copying audio files to it. The LilyPad MP3 Player will
play a number of audio formats including MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, MID, etc.
2. Rename the audio files on the micro-SD card so that the first character of each filename is the
number "1" to "5", corresponding to the trigger that you want to play that file. You don't need
to change anything else about the filename.
3. Turn off the LilyPad MP3 Player and plug your micro-SD card into the socket. Push it in until it
clicks; if you release it, it will stay seated. To remove it, push again until it clicks, and it will pop
out when you release it.
4. Connect a headphone to the headphone jack,
or
connect speakers to the left and right
speaker terminals. (Note that when anything is plugged into the headphone jack, the speakers
are disabled. This behavior can be changed if desired ).
