How to connect the gigabeat with the USB CRADLE

• Connection

Insert and press down firmly.

• Removal

When removing the gigabeat from the USB CRADLE, pull straight out in the direction of the arrow in the diagram.

Getting ready

Charging the built-in battery

When the AC adapter is connected to the gigabeat, charging starts automatically. If you are using the gigabeat for the first time, or when the gigabeat hasn’t been used for prolonged period, fully charge the battery before using. One charging method is to connect the AC adapter directly to the gigabeat, another method is to use the USB CRADLE. Note that a USB connection with the PC will also permit charging.

Preparation

Set the BATTERY switch on the bottom of the main unit to ON. The BATTERY switch is turned OFF to prevent over discharge when using for the first time.

Note

-Turn OFF the BATTERY switch when the gigabeat will not be used for a long

period of time. Doing so prevents over discharge of the internal battery.

-Setting the BATTERY switch to OFF will reset the date and time.

Direct Charging from the AC Adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the gigabeat in the order A to C shown below. It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the gigabeat.

Connect to outlet.

Charge Using the USB CRADLE

Connect the gigabeat to the USB CRADLE. Then, connect in the order A to C shown below.

Connect to the outlet.

See “How to connect the gigabeat with the USB CRADLE” (>p. 23) for connecting the gigabeat with USB CRADLE.

Charge by connecting to PC Using USB Cable

Connect the gigabeat to PC via the supplied USB cable.

To USB terminal of the PC

Battery power may be used when the gigabeat is operating such as transferring tracks even if it is connected via USB. Charging with a USB connection is dependent on the performance of the USB bus power supply function of the PC and may not be possible depending on the model of PC.

When a USB connection is made with a PC that cannot support charging, the connection may soon be lost and the USB function of the PC may not be available for use temporarily. If this happens, restart the PC, connect the AC adapter to the gigabeat, and then once again make a USB connection with the PC.

Note

-When charging of the gigabeat has started, the charging icon (orange) is

displayed on the display screen. When charging is completed, the “charge complete” icon (green) is displayed on the screen. If the screen does not function in this way, see “Troubleshooting” (>p.145).

-Pressing the POWER button during USB charging might not turn on the power

when the gigabeat has not been used for a long time or when the battery is too weak to supply power. Remove USB connection and connect AC adapter. Then, turn on power.

-The charge time will vary depending on the condition of the built-in battery,

ambient temperature, etc.

-The charge may stop temporarily to limit the temperature increase in the

gigabeat.

-Charge the built-in battery within the specified operating-temperature range
