Battery Charging
Your eTouch™ has a built in rechargeable lithium battery which is supplied

charge the battery for around 8 Hours for its rst charge, to achieve the best
battery life. You can still use the eTouch™ but it’s best to keep it plugged in
for this charging period.

slot up to a huge 16GB to store your favourite music, movies and photos.
Insert the card with the metallic connectors facing the rear of the eTouch™

card gently inwards until you hear a click and then it will pop out.

recycle bin. The recycle bin icon appears in your program menu on the left
