Precautions Concerning the Built-in Hard Disk
● Do not format the built-in hard disk. If the disk were to be formatted, the firmware (which
is the software that gigabeat uses to operate) would be deleted and the product would no
longer be able to function. If the hard disk has been formatted, restoration of the firmware
will be necessary. Restore the firmware according to “Restoration of Firmware Data”
under “Troubleshooting” in the Owner’s Manual-“gigabeat room”.
The internal hard disk contains system files and demo files for the gigabeat. The disk
area that can actually be used is the area except for these files.
Precautions Concerning Data Deletion at Time of Disposal or Transfer
● When the gigabeat is disposed of or sold with the hard disk in an as-used condition,
information on the hard disk may be viewed by a third party. When disposing of or reselling
the gigabeat, please delete all of the data on the hard disk.
Built-in Battery
● The built-in battery will gradually discharge, even when the product is not being used. If
the product is not used for a prolonged period, the built-in battery may discharge completely.
If this should happen, recharge the battery before using the product.
● The recharging time will vary depending on the condition of the built-in battery, ambient
temperature, etc.
● Using the product at low temperatures will shorten the continuous playback time.
● The built-in battery can be recharged approximately 500 times. (This number is an estimate
and is for reference purposes only.)
● The built-in battery is a consumable part. Repeated use will gradually decrease the
operating time. If the battery is consumed quickly after a full charge, the built-in battery
may have failed. Please contact TOSHIBA Customer Service by calling (Phone # on
“STOP SHEET”).

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 after purchase, or when the
gigabeat hasn't been used for a prolonged period, fully charge the battery
beforehand.
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.
This switch prevents over-discharge of the built-in battery after shipment.
Set the BATTERY switch to ON the first time the gigabeat is used after purchasing it.
If you will not be using the gigabeat for a prolonged period, set the BATTERY switch
to OFF.

Using the Product
To the USB connector of the PC
When the gigabeat does not transfer tracks and does not function even though there is a
USB connection has been made and there is charging, it is possible that the battery is weak.
Charging with a USB connection is dependent on the performance of the USB bus power
supply function of the PC and might 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.

Charging the Built-in Battery (Continued from the previous page)
When charging of the gigabeat has started, the charging icon (orange)
is displayed on the display screen. When charging is completed, the charging
completion icon (green) is displayed on the display screen. If the screen
does not function in this way, see “Troubleshooting” ( p. 68).
The charging icon is not displayed when charging with a USB connection.
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. Cancel the USB connection, connect
the AC adapter, and then turn on the 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.
If the temperature is outside the specified range, the gigabeat may
not be charged. ( p. 69)
As the remaining battery power drops, the indication ( p. 26) will change in
the following sequence: ( → → → ). Recharge the gigabeat
when the remaining battery power becomes low.

The continuous playback time is a reference value but is not
guaranteed, since the actual playback time will vary depending on
the operating condition, ambient operating temperature, the number
of times the built-battery has been recharged, etc.
Even under allowable operating conditions, using the gigabeat at
low temperature will result in a reduction of the maximum continuous
playback time.
WAV tracks consume a lot of battery power, so the continuous
