Charge in Progress Charge Completed Connecting to PC via USB cable Safely Disconnect from PC

3. Connecting USB Cable

■ Connecting USB Cable

When you connect the USB cable to the PC while iAUDIO is turned on, used or charged, it enters USB Mode. (iAUDIO cannot enter USB Mode while recording.) When the USB cable is connected, the built-in battery is not used and the USB supplies electric power.

When you connect iAUDIO to a USB hub that supplies low current (e.g., a hub installed in the keyboard or monitor), an error message may appear and iAUDIO may not work normally.

■ Disconnecting USB Cable

• First, run "Safely Remove Hardware" wizard from the Windows tray. 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 music les in HDD are searched during the rst booting after

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