Troubleshooting

Symptom Remedy Explanation

iAUDIO works abnormally or does not play when memory is full.

Initialize iAUDIO and leave a free space of 1-2 MB, then try again.

An important system le, "settings.dat" is saved in the Root folder of the Flash memory. When this le is not saved properly, or deleted, or damaged during le transfer, iAUDIO may not work normally.

iAUDIO works abnormally or does not play when hundreds of les are saved in Root folder.

Create subfolders under the Root folder, and save les to subfolders.

iAUDIO uses FAT. Owing to the limitations of FAT, you are advised not to save many les in the root directory.

When JetShell is running, it controls the iAUDIO. Make sure to exit JetShell before performing the following tasks:

• Installing iAUDIO's USB driver

• Formatting iAUDIO in Windows Explorer

• Upgrading iAUDIO's rmware
