T.sonic Limited Warranty
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Transcend’s T.sonic™ 610/612. A totally new generation of Flash MP3
player. This small device is more than a USB Flash Drive. It combines a USB Flash Drive with an

USB2.0 to expedite exchanging huge amounts of data between any desktop or notebook computer.
With the T.sonic™, you can upload and download music files to and from a computer and then
play the tracks on the device. Using the AB repeat function, you can continuously replay a
designated section of a track. Also, you can record memos to yourself or from others using the
digital recorder. With an FM radio built-in (Without FM function in T.sonic 612), you can always
listen to your favorite radio station. Transcend’s latest T.sonic™ 610/612 is a step above the usual
