USB display does not appear when connected to computer? · Check connection between your unit and the computer. (Refer to the software instruction manual) · You may have to re-associate the drive letter that was assigned to the device. Please check your help on Windows for details on assigning a different drive letter. Cannot playback tracks on the player. · Make sure audio tracks are encoded in the mp3 or Windows Media formats at supported bitrates. Bitrates supported by the player: mp3 ­ 32 to 320 kbps wma ­ 48 to 192 kbps · WMA or audiobooks files may be DRM protected and you don't have the proper rights (license) to play the files. · Check the website and/or application help system of the music download service provider from where the content was purchased for license acquisition details. For more information on how license acquisition works, go to www.microsoft.com/windows/window smedia/forpros/drm/default.mspx. · Play the original or downloaded song on your computer to ensure that there was nothing wrong with the encoding of the mp3 or WMA. Cannot view picture or video clip files. · Video clip files must be converted to optimum format by video converter. · Picture and converted video clip files must be copied to root directory on the player for viewing. EN 20 More Information EN The player does not work after reformat. · In case you need to reformat the player, it must be in FAT or FAT32 format. The player does not work in NTFS format. My computer does not boot-up if the player is connected prior to turning on the PC. · In order to improve the performance of your portable music player and allow a faster download experience, the storage in your device has been formatted using a larger sector size. The BIOS in some older computers does not support this larger sector size, which causes it not to recognize the device when the PC is booting-up. To correct this, simply disable the "boot from USB" option in your computer BIOS or wait until your computer has completed its boot-up sequence before connecting your portable music player. Note: For better result, we recommend a constant encoded bit rate from 32 to 320kbps for mp3 and 48kbps to 192kbps for Windows Media Audio. Nevertheless, your unit can play tracks encoded in variable bit rate (VBR). Note: This unit may temporarily cease to function if subjected to electrostatic disturbance. To resume to normal functioning, you may use a pin to activate the reset button. Specifications Weight: 30g Dimensions: 70.6 mm (Length) x 32mm (Width) x 14.4mm (Thickness).
