Etec M2404 Quick Start Manual

M2404 MP3 & Video Players

Quick start guide

For experienced computer users this player is very easy to use. This Quick start guide allows users to
load and start playing music files, but we recommend reading the entire manual to understand all of this
player’s features.

As with any ‘plug and play’ USB storage device, digital media files can be added to this player from the host
computer simply by using the ‘drag and drop’ approach familiar to most Windows users.

Charging this player

Before attempting to use this player be sure to fully charge the player by connecting the player via USB cable to
a computer. A complete charge takes around three hours.

Downloading files to this player

1) For PC users, downloading digital media files is easy – just connect the player via USB and start loading
files immediately.

2) Once connected to a computer, this player will appear as a ‘Removable disk’ or ‘USB storage device’ and
files can be copied directly onto the player.

For PC users, if the computer does not automatically detect this player, open the ‘My Computer’ icon from
the desktop and click on the ‘Removable disk’ or ‘USB storage device’ to access this player’s USB memory.

3) This player will automatically organize digital media files and open them using the appropriate application
from the player’s main menu. For example, if MP3 or WMA files are loaded on to this player, users will be
able to play these files when opening the Music playback mode from the main menu. Loading movies and
photos (JPEG files) is just as easy using the ‘drag and drop’ approach.

4) All Video files must first be converted to the proper viewing format for this player by using the “Video File
Conversion Utility” located on the included CD-Rom disc.

Important! - For more detailed information on loading digital media files see the ‘Getting started’ section of the

Charging the player

The ETEC player can be charged using the USB port on your computer and the included USB Charging Cable.
The player must be charged before the first use. Once charged, the battery power level meter on the display
