TROUBLE SHOOTING / Q & A

I have loaded my AVI

files but when I try and

play them back the

screen goes black

The AVI must be resized/converted to play on your S5
player as the screen size is far smaller than your average
TV. Please use the software tools supplied to resize your
files to ensure smooth playback. Playback is still possible
with unconverted files, but it will take up to one minute
before the player can start playback.

No power Check battery has been fully charged

Even after a full

charge, my battery

doesn’t last very long

If your S5 is not in use it is best to turn it fully off. As per its
design, it needs to always be on in order for the clock
feature to work correctly.

Unable to locate or

play files

Check that the file is in a compatible format

Check to see if the file is stored in

the corre

ct

directory

There is no sound from

the ear buds

Check the volume level
Check the connection (earphone to the earphone jack)
Check if your music files and ear buds are compatible with

another MP3 player

Not charging

Check to make sure that your MP4-S5 is connected to a
USB port on your computer. Check that the USB port is
working for other devices.

Unable to store music

Check if you have enough space on your MP4-S5 to store
the music file

Check to make sure that the USB cable is connected to the
PC and to the MP4-S5 securely and correctly

Computer does not

recognise my MP4-S5

Check that the USB cable is properly connected to your
computer

Try plugging the USB cable into a different USB Port. The
ports at the rear are often the best, rather than a USB hub,
as they correct direct to the mother board
