Remove the battery and insert it again. Description When the HOLD button is in locked status, iAUDIO buttons do not work. iAUDIO does not work if the polarity of the battery is reversed. iAUDIO does not work when the battery is exhausted. Check if there are any foreign objects obstructing contact with the battery and remove them if there are any. iAUDIO does not work when there are no saved files in it. iAUDIO buttons do not work when the HOLD button is in locked status. There is no sound. Check if there are any MP3 files in memory. Check if the HOLD button is in locked position. Try again after setting the HOLD button OFF. Characters in LCD are distorted. Set the language of iAUDIO to English and ID3 tag to Filename, and retry. If the problem persists, check the product with our service center. However, if the same symptom occurs in other iAUDIO products of the same model, it may be because iAUDIO was developed on Korean Windows and some special fonts or characters may be distorted. iAUDIO G2 Troubleshooting Symptom I filled my memory capacity, and iAUDIO malfunctions or does not play at all. After saving hundreds of files in the Root folder, iAUDIO does not work or malfunctions. The Flash Memory capacity is displayed less than it should be or cannot be used up to its full capacity. (E.g., 242MB displayed for 256MB memory) 21 Action Initialize iAUDIO, and save the files again but leave 1 to 2 MB of free memory space. Description There is a "settings.dat" file in the root folder in Flash Memory which is an important system file. When this file is not saved properly, or deleted/damaged during file transfer, malfunctions may occur. iAUDIO uses FAT. Due to the limitations of FAT, avoid saving too many files in the Root directory. This is a limitation from Windows 98. It is recommended to create subfolders for Windows 2000 and XP as well. iAUDIO Flash Memory shares some parts with the system memory. Therefore, when you exclude the system area that is required for normal operation of iAUDIO, the flash memory that is displayed may be less than its capacity. For example, 242MB is displayed for 256MB memory. This is normal. When using JetShell, JetShell controls the iAUDIO drive. Consequently, you should exit JetShell before using iAUDIO for these uses: · Installing a USB Drive. · Formatting iAUDIO from Windows Explorer. · Upgrading Firmware. iAUDIO G2 22 Using Buttons MP3 Player Mode MP3 Player Mode Button Operation When iAUDIO is stopped When iAUDIO is playing Play/ Pause FF Play the current track.
