The battery level icon indicates how much battery life is left. The number of segments in the icon becomes less as the battery discharges. For some batteries or re-chargeable dry cells, the number of segments in the battery icon may increase or decrease irregularly when the remaining charge is being measured. This is normal.

When the battery runs out, the battery icon starts blinking. If this happens, connect the AC Power Adapter to re-charge the battery. If you don’t have the AC Power Adapter, "safety power off".

When an ID3V2 or ID3V1 tag is used, the disk icon and the Artist + Album information are displayed. When the display setting is ‘Filename’, or the tag does not include the Artist information, the folder icon and the folder name are displayed. When the song is contained in the root folder, "iAUDIO" is displayed in the folder name.

■ Disconnecting USB Cable

• First, select "Release device connection" from the Windows tray menu. When "OK to disconnect" appears on the LCD window of iAUDIO, disconnect the USB cable.

• If the AC Power Adapter was not connected, iAUDIO automatically powers off.

• If the AC Power Adapter was connected, iAUDIO automatically enters Charge mode.

• When you press the "PLAY" button for a few seconds in the Charge mode, iAUDIO is rebooted. You should always reboot iAUDIO because the song les in HDD are searched during the rst booting after

the USB cable is disconnected. This takes some time if there are many song les. (20 to 25 seconds if the HDD is full.)

■ Searching tracks in Play status

• You can skip to the next track by pressing the FF or REW button briey in Play status.

- Unlike memory-type players, a HDD type player should power on the HDD if it is turned off to read tracks. Therefore, there can be a little delay before a track is played. In this case, the "WAIT" pop-up window appears, and playback starts after 2 or 3 seconds.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Remedy Explanation

iAUDIO does not power on.

You cannot hear any sound or there is noise.

FM Radio does not work.

Characters on LCD are illegible.

JetShell does not work and “iaudio IS NOT FOUND” appears in a window.

The HDD capacity is displayed incorrectly. (E.g.: 18GB is displayed for 20GB memory)

iAUDIO does not work or works abnormally after Hundreds of les are saved in Root folder.

Check if the ‘Hold’ button is set to ON. If it is, set the ‘Hold’ button to OFF and

iAUDIO does not work when the Hold button is set to ON.

try again.

See if the same phenomenon occurs when you connect the adapter.

Make sure that there are mp3 les in the memory.

If the built-in battery is completely discharged, charge it with the adapter.

iAUDIO does not work if there are no les in the memory.

Check if the volume is set to "0." Check if the remote controller/earphone is disconnected or if there is any foreign substance in/on the in/phone jacks. (Noise may be generated if there is foreign substance.) If data in the audio le is damaged, noise may be generated or the sound may break up.

FM reception sensitivity may be weak and you many not be able to hear FM Radio clearly depending on where you are, such as inside a building, subway or moving car. In addition, listening to the radio may become impossible if you are in radio wave shade areas.

If FM radio does not work where you know that radio reception should be possible, there may be a problem in the reception module. In this case, please contact our A/S Center.

Change the language setting to ‘English’ in the ‘Country & Language’ menu of iAUDIO, and select ‘File name’ in the ID3 tag setting menu. However, if the same symptom is discovered in other iAUDIO products of the same model, some special fonts or foreign characters may be broken because iAUDIO was developed on the Korean Windows OS.

A separate driver must be installed for Windows 98 or 98 SE. See "Installing USB Driver for Windows 98."

For example, with a 20GB product, about 18.6GB of memory capacity after FAT32 formatting is normal. Some of the memory in iAUDIO is used for system area which is essential for normal operation of iAUDIO. Therefore, the actual displayed capacity of the HDD is somewhat reduced when you exclude this.

iAUDIO uses FAT32. Owing to the limitations of FAT32, you are advised NOT to save many les in the root directory.

There are more limitations for Windows 98. For Windows 2000 or XP, we recommend that you create a separate folder and subfolders under it for saving les.

Formatting HDD

iAUDIO requires formatting as HDD does. You should be careful when formatting iAUDIO since all data in the memory will be deleted.

1. Select Format Device Memory from File menu. When the following window appears, select ‘FAT32’. If you select a format other than ‘FAT32’ and format, iAUDIO is recognized as just a USB storage media and will not function normally as an MP3 Player. Therefore, be sure to format as ‘FAT32’ only, and never use the NTFS le system supported by Windows 2000 and XP.

You can also format by right clicking your mouse on the iAUDIO drive in Windows Explorer.

Converting Audio CD Tracks to MP3 Files and Directly Downloading Them to iAUDIO

With JetShell, you can easily convert your Audio CD into MP3 les and download them to iAUDIO. Since the Audio CD tracks are digitally converted to MP3 without transforming them to wave les rst, the speed is very fast.

1. Before getting started, you must choose the quality of the MP3 les to create. Click [Setup] –[MP3 Encoder Option] to set the desired bit rate of the MP3 les. (The les compressed in a high bit rate have a higher sound quality and a bigger le size.)

2. From the ‘File Management’ section, select the CD-ROM drive in which the Audio CD is inserted.

Select the audio tracks from the right window and click or [File] –[Convert CD to MP3] from the menu.

3. Specify the path ‘iAUDIO’ (Mobile Disk) to save the MP3 les in.

For some enhanced CDs, you cannot directly select the tracks on the CD. In this case, you can right click your mouse and select a track to convert to le as shown in the picture below. However, for some Audio CDs for which copy protection technology is applied, this ripping method may not work.

When you press the button, the information on the CD, such as the singer and song title can be acquired through the Internet. To use CDDB, the Internet connection must be enabled. You may not be able to use this feature depending on the status of the network or the proxy server.

When incorrect data is included in the CD text received from CDDB, the fonts (including Korean letters) may appear broken on your PC. This is not an error of JetShell but the information stored in CDDB.
