Safety Precautions︱
These usage and safety guidelines are IMPORTANT! Please follow them carefully.
General Use
• Unpack the contents of the T.sonic package carefully.

6
• Do not use a damp/wet cloth to wipe the exterior case.
• Do not use or store your T.sonic in any of the following environments:

Backing Up Data
Transcend does NOT take any responsibility for data loss or damage during operation. If
you decide to store data on your T.sonic, we strongly advise that you regularly backup the data to a computer or other storage medium.
To ensure Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates when connecting to a computer, please ensure
the computer has the necessary USB drivers. If you are unsure how to check this, please consult your computer or motherboard’s User’s Manual for USB driver information.
Caution: Risk of Deafness
• Repeated or regular use of headphones or earphones at volume levels above 80 decibels can give a false impression that the audio level is not high enough. Users may try to
progressively increase the volume control, therefore risking a dangerous noise level for
their ears.
• To protect your health and your hearing, keep the volume of your MP3 player below 80
decibels and do not use for an extended period of time. Stop use if symptoms like
headaches, nausea, or hearing disorders occur.
• Your MP3 player is limited to a volume level of 100 decibels.
• Both the MP3 player and its accompanying earphones are compliant with the French
regulation concerning musical Walkmans (24th July 1998 Order).
• Before using any other earphones, confirm that their technical specifications are
compatible with the original set.
Reminders
• Make sure the switch is not enabled before turning on the player.
• Never use the “Quick Format” or “Full Format” functions in Windows
615.
• Follow the procedures in the “Disconnecting from a Computer” section to properly
remove your T.sonic 615 from a computer.
• Transcend occasionally releases firmware updates for certain products. We suggest you
visit http://www.transcendusa.com and download the latest firmware version for your
device.
