Saber Hand Wind Audio Player - Maintenance Guide
7.4 File Corruption Issues
It is possible for file corruption to occur during the start up phase of the player. To minimise the
possibility of file corruption:
–
Turn the crank handle for at 1 minute before turning on the player.
–
After pressing the power button, continue to turn the crank handle while the player is in the
start up phase. (This is indicated by the fast flashing green light.)
If file corruption has previously occured, when you turn on the player, the green light will flash at a
fast rate as normal during the start up phase. After completing the start up phase (of about 30
seconds)
the player will then abruptly turn off
.
If file corruption occurs, please take the following steps:
–
Firstly, on a computer, confirm that there is a minimum of 20Mb of available (free) space in
the internal memory of the Saber. If there is not enough space, remove some files and retest.
–
On a computer, use the included format program, format the internal Saber drive to FAT32.
NOTE: This step will delete all the audio files on the player.
–
Reload audio files and retest.
–
If these options do not worsk, it is necessary to reload the firmware. Contact Global
Recordings Network at
for further instructions and for the latest
firmware.
