Notes

Charge the battery in an ambient temperature of between 5 to 35 ºC (41 to 95 ºF).

The number of times the battery can be recharged before it is used up is approximately 500 times. This number may vary, depending on the conditions under which you use the player.

The battery indicator on the display is only an estimation. For example, one section of black in the indicator will not always indicate exactly one-fourth of the battery’s charge.

“DATA ACCESS” appears in the display while the player accesses the computer. Do not disconnect the player while “DATA ACCESS” appears or the data being transferred may be damaged.

The control buttons on the player are all disabled while it is connected to a computer.

Some USB devices connected to the computer may interfere with proper operation of the player.

We do not guarantee the recharge of the battery using personally assembled computers or modified computers.

If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the sleep or hibernation mode, even during USB connection, the player’s battery is not charged. Instead, the player continues to draw power from the battery, discharging it.

Do not leave the player connected for extended periods to a laptop computer that is not connected to AC power, because the player may discharge the computer’s battery.
