Changing the gigabeat

display

Setting the backlight off time

You can set the length of time before the backlight of the screen
will automatically turn OFF if the gigabeat

is not operated.

Since the battery consumes less power when the backlight is turned
off, the continuous playback time of music, and other activities will
increase.

Select settings on the start screen, and press the OK button.
