TIP

GETTING STARTED

Introduction

Once the MP3 unit is positioned in a MADE FOR ME product (sold
separately), you can turn the MP3 unit on by pressing the product’s
Play button. Lights will flash, and there will be a “tick tock” sound
while the MP3 unit powers up. You will then hear a voice prompt
announcing the playlist. If nothing happens after you press the Play
button, make sure the MP3 unit is securely in place, and the MADE
FOR ME product (sold separately) is turned on.

When you position the MP3 unit into a MADE FOR ME product (sold
separately) and turn the product off, the MP3 unit automatically
powers down.

The MP3 unit will not work, record voice, or turn on unless it is positioned in another
MADE FOR ME product (sold separately). The MP3 unit is powered by batteries in MADE
FOR ME products, so you never have to worry about charging the MP3 unit!

• An Image Window, which lets you add your own pictures to the software

You must use the MADE FOR ME software to transfer audio files to your MP3 unit.

NOTE

You can also easily create multiple libraries containing these four
playlists:

1. Click on “File” | “New Library” in the task bar.

2. Name your new library and click “OK.”

Images run in a slideshow on your computer. (The slideshow can
be turned off by deselecting the “Play as a Slideshow” check box.)
The arrows in the Image Window box allow you to cycle through the
photos you’ve loaded. If you load only one photo, that is the photo
that will appear on the screen.

Supported digital picture formats are: JPG, JPEG, GIF and BMP images.

ME Image Window, simply click the

“Image Window” button located in the

upper right part of the screen. This

to browse your computer for images
you’d like to add to the MADE FOR ME
Image Window. This dialog box is also
where you can delete photos you’d
no longer like to include in your MADE
FOR ME Library interface.
