USB High Speed Connection Cable MP3 Player

PC connection

In order to enjoy the multimedia capabilities of your MP3 Player, you have to first copy your favorite files from your PC to it’s internal memory.
Connect your MP3 Player to the computer using the included USB 2.0 cable. The device will be detected automatically without installing any driver.

Once detected, you can read/write to the device’s memory just as if you where using a regular disk drive.
Make sure your computer is powered on, and follow the steps below to connect the player to your computer.

1. Plug the larger USB connector of the USB cable into the USB port on the computer.

2. Plug the other end (small) of the USB cable to the player.

3. The computer system detects “New hardware” and starts to install the driver automatically. Wait for the system to finish the installation.
When it has finished, “Emerson MP3” will be created in “My Computer”.

Important: To avoid any data loss, always perform a safe USB device extraction before disconnecting the USB cable from the PC.

In Windows XP, for example, you can find the safe extraction icon in the task bar next to the system clock.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Your MP3 Player has an integrated rechargeable Li-ion battery. It is recommended to fully charge the player before using it for the first time.
Recharge the battery by connecting the player to a computer using the included USB 2.0 cable.

Charging time is between 3-5 hours, depending if the player is powered off or working. To keep the battery in good condition, we recommend not
charging it for more than 8 hours.

Battery level indication:

Important:

● Fully charge it before you use the player for the first time or when you haven’t used it for a long time.

● Charge the player immediately when the “Low battery” message is displayed.

● Do not over charge or discharge the player. Over charging or discharging will shorten the battery life.

● The battery could be over discharged if the player is not used for a long time (over three months). To avoid over discharge, fully charge the player
every three months and always keep the voltage of the battery above 50 %.
