Important safety instructions
Please read and strictly observe the following instructions!
The MP3 player and the provided accessories, such as
e.g. the external power adapter may not be disassembled,
modified or repaired by you.
If the MP3 player has been dropped or if the casing has
been damaged, turn it off.
Do not give your MP3 player and especially the accesso-
ries to children. Never let your children use electrical devices
without supervision. Children are not always able to recognize
potential hazards. Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Store the
batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been
swallowed, medical help has to be obtained immediately. Also
keep the packaging films away from children. There is a danger
of suffocation.
The MP3 player and the accompanying components may
not be exposed to dripping or sprayed water. Additionally,
no objects or containers containing liquids, such as vases or
glasses, may be placed on top of the device. Pay special attention to the device when it rains, snows, at the beach, or in the
vicinity of water.
Do not use the MP3 player in environments with high hu-
midity, large amounts of steam, smoke, or dust.
Don’t leave the MP3 player in locations where the tem-
perature can rise to a large degree (e.g. inside a vehicle).
This could damage the casing and interior parts and cause a
fire.
English
Norsk
5
Only place the MP3 player on stable surfaces. Otherwise
the MP3 player could drop or topple, cause injuries or sustain
English Norsk
damage. Don’t let the MP3 player drop or bump against anything and take great care when using it.
Make sure that the display is not exposed to any bumps.
This could damage the glass of the monitor or cause the liquid
to leak out. If the liquid gets into the eyes, on the skin or the
clothes, it has to be rinsed off immediately with clear water. If
the liquid gets into the eyes, consult your physician immediately.
Only use the MP3 player with the included headphones
(SilverCrest DM-67).
Don’t use the MP3 player at an excessive volume. This
poses a risk to your hearing.
Articles 44.5 and 44.6 of the law about public health mainte-
nance, modified by article 2 of the law from May 28, 1996, prescribe a restriction of the sound pressure at a maximum of 100
dB(A). The headphones (SilverCrest DM-67) and the device
comply with these legal regulations to their full extent. Longer
listening periods at a full volume of the device may cause hearing damage to the user.
Use particular care in potentially dangerous situations
(e.g. while driving, riding a bicycle, jogging, etc.) or discontinue the use of the headphones temporarily. Even if your
headphones are designed in such a way that you can continue
to perceive external sounds, you should set the volume only so
high that you can still perceive your environment.
6
We advise against the use of headphones while driving a
car or other vehicle. Please drive carefully and attentively. If
you notice that the device distracts or impedes you while you
are driving, switch it off.
Be careful with the external power adapter: Always touch
the external power adapter by its casing. Don’t pull on the actual cable and never touch the adapter with wet hands, since
this could cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Don’t
place the device or any furniture or similar items on the adapter
and the power cable. Make sure that the power cable doesn’t
get pinched. Never tie a knot into the power cable and don't tie
it together with other cables. The power cable should be laid in
such a way that no one will step on it. A damaged power cable
may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Check the power cable
from time to time. If it is damaged, contact your nearest authorized customer service centre or your vendor for a replacement.
Caution: Information about disconnecting from the power
supply: To completely disconnect the device from the power
supply, the external power adapter has to be pulled out of the
power socket. Therefore the device should be positioned in
such a way that unobstructed access to the power socket can
be ensured at any time, so that the power adapter may immediately be pulled out in an emergency situation. To prevent the
risk of fire, the external power adapter should always be disconnected from the power socket before a longer period of disuse of the device, such as during a vacation.

Risk of explosion! Never toss the device into fire, since the
built-in battery may explode. The improper handling of lithium-
English Norsk
ion batteries may lead to an explosion or fire. Therefore only
use the battery for its intended purpose!
Only operate the device with the electrical parts that are
included in the scope of delivery.
Dispose of your camera and the batteries
in compliance with the Directive 2002/96/EC
(see p. 55). In particular, the device does not
belong into household trash.

Charging the internal battery
English Norsk
Your MP3 player has an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This has to be completely charged before the first use of the
device (min. 3 hours) and then completely discharged in order to
guarantee the optimum lifespan of the battery. This requires that
the device is not freshly charged before its complete discharge.
The internal battery can be charged either by connecting the MP3
player to a USB port on your computer or through the provided
external power adapter with an external power source.
To charge the device with your
computer, connect the device
to a USB port on your computer by using the provided
USB cable. The MP3 player
switches on automatically and
the charging process begins.
12
To charge the device through
an external power source, connect your MP3 player with an
electrical outlet by using the
provided USB cable and the
external power adapter.
A charging battery will appear
on the display and the battery
will be charged.
Note:
The battery symbol in the right upper corner of the display informs you about the current energy level of the battery.
Note:
To extend the operation of your battery, you can save energy in
the following ways:
Reduce the brightness of the background illumination (page 44).
Set the display to turn off automatically (page 44).
Use the energy saving function (page 45).
Caution:
The provided USB cable is only intended for your MP3 player.
Don’t use any other USB cable to charge your device.
Don’t use the provided USB cable for other devices. The USB
cable can damage other devices if it is connected to their
headphone jacks.
