Once detected, you can read/write to the device’s memory
just as if you were using a regular disk drive.

Charging the Battery Transferring Media to the Player

Your MP3 Player has an integrated rechargeable Li-ion battery. It is
recommended to fully charge the player before using it for the rst time.
Recharge the battery by connecting the player to a
computer using the included USB 2.0 cable.
Charging time is between 3-5 hours, depending if the player is powered o
or working. To keep the battery in good condition, we recommend not
charging it for more than 8 hours.

Important:

• Fully charge the player before using it for the rst time

• Charge the player immediately when the “Low Battery” message is displayed

• Do not overcharge or completely drain the battery. Overcharing
or completely draining the battery will shorten battery life.

• The battery can be drained if the player is not used for a long time.
To avoid draining the battery, fully charge the player every three
months, and always keep the battery charge above 50%.
