WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED Your OAKLEY THUMP comes with the following components: USB Cable USB Connector SETTING UP OAKLEY THUMP TO PLAY MUSIC To set up OAKLEY THUMP, first charge the battery. The battery will reach 80% charge after one hour, but a full three-hour charge is recommended. Then with OAKLEY THUMP connected to your computer, drag-and-drop files from your computer hard drive to the OAKLEY THUMP drive icon or folder. OAKLEY THUMP will play song files in AAC, MP3, WMA or WAV file format. STEP 1: CHARGE THE BATTERY. With the USB cable, connect OAKLEY THUMP directly to your computer's USB port. OAKLEY THUMP will draw a small amount of electricity from your computer to charge its internal battery. (The USB cable can also connect OAKLEY THUMP to an optional Wall Charger, or you can use your OAKLEY THUMP Car Charger, both sold separately. See the accessory card for more information.) The USB cable plugs into the bottom of OAKLEY THUMP, behind the ear boom on the right side. Be sure the earphone boom is pushed back to expose the Mini-B USB receptacle in the eyewear frame. Release the protective cover from the connection port. When plugging in the USB cable, be sure to align the plug correctly. If the plug will not go in, try flipping it over. Use only the USB cable included with OAKLEY THUMP and be sure you have the right connection port on your computer. USB PORT Mini-B OAKLEY THUMP To use OAKLEY THUMP with a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you must have: · Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows ME.

If your OAKLEY THUMP is not already attached to your computer, attach it now with the USB cable. In Windows Explorer, OAKLEY THUMP will show up as a removable disk drive. Doubleclick the disk drive called "THUMP". This will show songs that come preloaded in the OAKLEY THUMP memory. Open a second folder window that shows the AAC, MP3, WMA or WAV music files currently stored on your computer. (See "Transferring Music from CDs" for information on how to convert CD music to these compressed file formats.) Now drag-and-drop the files from your hard drive folder to the OAKLEY THUMP folder window. The songs will play back in the order in which you drag-and-drop them. You can also play them at random. See the Quick Reference guide for more information. STEP 3: DISCONNECT WITH "EJECT". Because your computer recognizes OAKLEY THUMP as a removable disk drive, you must "eject" OAKLEY THUMP from the computer using a software command. Unplugging the USB cable without ejecting OAKLEY THUMP may result in data loss. · For Windows: In the Windows Task Bar (the row of small icons which is usually located at the bottom right of the screen), click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon ( ) with your left mouse button. A small window pops up. Click on the words "Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device." · For Macintosh: Go to the Finder and click on "File" then Eject "OAKLEY THUMP." Alternative method: Click on the "OAKLEY THUMP" icon on the Mac Desktop and drag it to the "Eject" icon on the Dock. STEP 4: PLAY MUSIC. After OAKLEY THUMP has been properly "ejected" from your computer, disconnect the USB cable. Adjust the earphone extenders to fit your ears. Note that the earphones pivot in and out, and each earphone is mounted on a telescoping boom for moving forward and back. Press and hold the Play / Pause button until the power-up tone is heard. THUMP will begin playing the first song. See the Quick Reference guide for information on controls. 6 7 SUPPORTED MUSIC FILE FORMATS OAKLEY THUMP supports multiple file formats. AAC, MP3 and WMA are more compressed than WAV file formats, so using them will allow you to fit more songs in the internal memory. · AAC (.M4A) · MP3 (up to 320 kbps) · MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) · WMA · WMA DRM · WAV TRANSFERRING MUSIC FROM CDS To transfer songs from a music CD to OAKLEY THUMP, you must first convert the CD music into one of the supported file formats. If you have a CD burner, the software included with the burner may have this ability. Otherwise, there are many music-playing programs that also convert files. Check the Internet for these free third-party programs. One or more might already be installed on your computer. Look in your computer menu for a media program that plays CDs, then select Help from the menu and look for "file conversion," "AAC," "MP3," "WMA" or "rip." Once the files are converted, use the directions above to transfer them to OAKLEY THUMP. WARNING: This product is for your personal use only.
