• Quick Start Guide
• Yahoo! Music Unlimited To Go Free Trial card

Installing Software

Insert the Installation CD into your computer and follow the onscreen directions to install the software. Your Sansa Connect uses Yahoo! Music Jukebox to manage music and transfer songs.

Getting a Yahoo! ID and start your Y! Music Unlimited To Go Free Trial

To use many of the features of your Sansa Connect, you’ll need a Yahoo! ID. If you’re not already a Y! Music Unlimited subscriber, follow the instructions on the Y! Music Unlimited To Go Free Trial card included in the box.

Powering On Your Sansa Connect

To turn on your Sansa Connect, press Power. If your Sansa Connect doesn’t turn on, check that the Hold Switch is in the unlock position. If this doesn’t
help, you may need to charge the battery (see below) After the startup is complete, a brief series of screens will welcome you and point out some of the key
features of your Sansa Connect.
7

Charging Your Sansa Connect

Your Sansa Connect comes with a rechargeable battery. To charge the battery, either:
• Connect the large connector of the USB cable into the dock connector port on the bottom of your
Sansa Connect, connect the small connector or the USB cable into the AC-USB charger, and plug the AC-USB charger into a power source.
• Connect the large connector of the USB cable into the dock connector port on the bottom of your
Sansa Connect, and plug the smaller connector into a USB port on your computer.
TIP Some low-power USB ports (such as those found on a keyboard) may not be able to provide
enough power to charge your Sansa Connect’s battery; use a high-powered USB port for best charging performance.
Transferring music using Yahoo! Music Jukebox
Connect the large connector of the USB cable into the dock connector port on the bottom of your Sansa Connect, and plug the smaller connector into a USB port on your computer.
On your computer, open Yahoo! Music Jukebox. To transfer songs, drag and drop them to the Sansa Connect icon in the left column.
8

Connecting to WiFi

Your Sansa Connect makes it easy to connect to WiFi networks. When a WiFi connection is needed (for instance, to play Internet Radio), the Sansa Connect will automatically look for a network and try to connect.
When starting the WiFi connection, your Sansa Connect will find all of the WiFi networks in range. Networks will be listed in order of signal strength (highest first), and protected networks (which require a password) are indicated by the lock icon.
If one or more networks are found that you have successfully connected to in the past, the Sansa Connect will automatically select the network with the strongest signal strength, and this screen will be skipped.
If the network requires a password, the Enter Password screen will appear. To start entering the password, turn the thumbwheel to highlight the first character, and press SELECT. If you need to change from uppercase letters to lowercase, or to find a special character, press the LEFT button. Continue selecting letters until the password is complete, and press the RIGHT button.
Your Sansa Connect will automatically save passwords for you. If you’re connecting to a network that you’ve already entered the password for, this screen will be skipped and the saved password will be used.
A similar screen will appear when you need to sign in to Yahoo! and have to provide your Yahoo! ID or password.
Once you’re connected to WiFi, the WiFi signal strength meter at the bottom of the screen will show how reliable the connection is. More green bars indicate a stronger signal.
