1.What is MPMan¨?

MPMan¨is a palm size audio device that uses no moving parts for playback and lets you enjoy a high quality sound product that uses MPEG1 Layer 3, a standard compression method providing an excellent quality audio. In short, MPMan¨is the portable palm size MP3 audio player that does not use tapes or CDs.

MP3 is a well known, high quality digital audio format. MP3 files can be compressed up to 1/12 of the original wave file size. You can get thousands of MP3 files without leaving your home or waiting in

long lines in record stores. Just download the files legally from anywhere in the world through your Internet connection. You should have to pay for the downloaded MP3 files to the MP3 provider. The files may then be transferred to your player and listened to on your home stereo, in your car, on the beach, or anywhere you wish to go! Also, you can make your own CD quality MP3 files from your audio CDs or WAV files with the use of the MP3 encoder software.

2.How Does MPMan¨Work ?

YouÕll need to have MP3 files stored on your computer connected to the MPMan

player with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.

Using the provided MPMan¨Manager software, select the MP3 files you wish to transfer from your PC to the MPMan¨. You can transfer songs or data files from your PC to your MPMan¨via USB port with the supplied USB cable. However, due to the copy protection, the MP3 files are not allowed to upload from your MPMan¨to your PC! You can copy only the data files except the MP3 files from the MPMan¨to the PC. Using MPMan¨as a data storage device is another great benefit of the MPMan

product features. When transferring large data from PC to PC, you can carry an equivalent of more than 40 floppy disks! A floppy diskette can carry only 1.44 MB of data, but you can carry as many as the built-in memory plus the size of the Memory Card.

3.Characteristics-Advantages of MPMan

1. Excellent quality sound

MPMan¨plays MP3 files, the high quality digital audio files whose size can be compressed from 40~50MB to about 4MB without losing any part of the original sound. MPMan¨guarantees the pure sound while handling, exercising and jogging.

2. Onboard 32MB/64MB/128MB flash memory and optional Memory Card of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB or 128MB

MPMan¨uses its built-in 32MB/64MB/128MB flash memory and provides a Memory Card slot for more portable memory storage. Store MP3 files in the Memory Cards, and enjoy them with MPMan¨by replacing the Memory Card.

3. Easy drag-and-drop feature for downloading MP3 and data files.

MPMan¨allows you to select and enjoy your own favorite MP3 files made from your audio CDs or downloaded from Internet. With the drag-and-drop feature, MPMan¨lets you easily download music or data files from your PC to MPMan¨. However you can upload only the data files from MPMan¨to your PC.

4. Shock-free player

MPMan¨does not require a physical mechanism such as cassette tapes or CDs. It is semi-permanent unlike others that use such shock-sensitive mechanism.

5. Compact, lightweight and portable

MPMan¨is small and light enough to fit in your pocket and provides the respectability without any sound distortion while you are jogging, cycling, working out, or doing any other dynamic activities.

6. Use for a language purpose

MPMan¨helps you study different languages with MP3 files encoded for such language purposes like story books and news broadcasts.

7. Use as a data storage

The on-board 32MB/64MB/128MB flash memory and optional Memory Card can be used to store not only MP3 files but also any data files such as doc, gif, txt, bmp, wav, etc.

8. Low power consumption

An AA size 1.5V Alkaline battery is recommended for longer playback time.

9. Save your money

You can get thousands of songs at a fraction of CD prices from various MP3 Internet providers via the innovative Try & Buy program without leaving home! You can buy only one song at a time, no more buying a CD for the one or two songs you want.

I CAN NOT DOWLOAD FILES

If so, initialize the MPMan memory using the MPMan Manager. ¥ MPMan.com, Inc. will not be responsible for lost or damaged data downloaded to your MPMan. ¥ We recommend you backup your data in a safe place such as a hard drive, CD-ROM, Zip.

WHY DOES THE VOLUME CHANGE FOR DIFFERENT SONGS?

HOW MANY MINUTES OF MP3 FILES CAN THE MPMAN PLAYER HOLD?

WHEN DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY?

¥ When the battery is consumed, the battery indicator on the LCD becomes empty and will begin blinking. When the battery is nearly empty, you may have a strange sound. It is time to replace the battery.

THE PLAYER WORKED WELL BUT THE MANAGER SOFTWARE CAN NOT

RECOGNIZE
