Upon initial use, the player should be charged fully to ensure optimal performance and battery life. If the player has not been used for a long period of time, the battery may need to be recharged.

With the included USB cable:

The player will not charge if it is connected to a low-power USB port.

If the player is connected to the computer through a USB hub, the hub must be selfpowered to charge the battery.

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or heat the battery. Do not leave the battery in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a car with its windows closed. Do not connect the player to a power source other than that which is indicated here or on the label as this may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
