Chapter 2 Safety informationChapter 2 Safety information
Never leave packaging material lying around unsupervi­sed. For children it could become a hazardous toy and lead to serious injury.
Specications and improvements are subject to change without notice.
Your full concentration and attention is required while driving in trac (as well as in many other surroundings). Using or listening to your MP3 player with earphones/ headphones can divert one’s attention and be just as dis­tracting, as using your cell phone while driving. In case of an accident, insurance coverage might be denied and you could be partially blamed for the accident respectively!
If your car radio has an audio input connection (Line le­vel), then you can also connect and play this MP3 player through your radio. Appropriate cables are available at your local dealer. Please refer to your car radios user manu­al for more information.
For safety reasons as mentioned above, only operate (tur­ning the power on, starting playback, etc.) this product while your car is parked!
Warning!
Only format this device in a FAT le system! Not in FAT32! Player software takes up a small portion of the memory for internal calculations and may be less than the player’s total internal memory capacity.
Precautions
A neck strap is included in delivery for hanging the MP3 player around your neck. Never leave this neck strap lying around unsupervised. Keep it away from children at all times to avoid injury and strangulation!

The player’s memory is empty when delivered. This means there are no existing music les found on the player that can be played back.
In case you do not have any MP3 les, you can use any available audio CD with one of the various programs available on the market to create your on MP3 les. It’s also possible to record radio or television programs with the ap­propriate programs; there are even special internet radio stations that play in MP3 format.
Never disconnect a MP3 player from a computer during data transmission. Damage or a loss in data during trans­mission could occur, requiring the process to be repeated again.
Battery information
Battery life expectancy may dier under dierent usage and maintenance conditions and with dierent models.
Please charge the device should any of the following in­stances occur:
› The battery indicator indicates a low battery. › The player turns o automatically, and turns o again af­ter rebooting. › The buttons are inactive › The player can not be turned on.

MP3 and WMA music format information
Music, that we listen to either from a stereo system, kitchen or car radio, is just actually an analog signal.
In the past one could buy records, music cassettes and ta­pes with a recorded analog signal. While records were usu­ally damaged from dust and frequent use, tapes demagne-
Chapter 3 General information Chapter 3 General information
tized themselves leading to a dull and mued sound.
Later on, the Compact Disc was developed for storing mu­sic in digital form. An analog signal is measured at specic intervals, transferred in numerical value and stored in a specic form on the CD. A CD player (or amplier) evaluates the computed value once again into an analog signal.
Most people do not even notice the dierence between music coming from an analog source (record, tape) or from that of a CD.
An audio CD can hold approximately 70 – 80 minutes of music. Its format is similar to that of a normal computer CD-ROM, which has an equivalent data volume of approx. 650 – 700 MB.
The early stages of computer technology development, where 1 MB user memory, 100 MB hard drives and a 28 kBit modem, a standard thing were, meant also that it usually brought a lot of problems along with it.
That’s why researchers started experimenting with new ways of compressing an audio CDs amount of data.
18
Contrary to the dierent compression programs on com­puters, for instance WinZip, all initial information will be irretrievably lost when audio compressing.
Normally the dierence between MP3 and audio CD play­back can not be heard; provided that a „better” compressi­on level is used.
In this case, the playback quality oered in mobile devices (e.g. the included MP3 player) or in cars is satisfactory. The most common known compressed le format is „MP3”, which oers a variety of quality levels (The principle is: the better the format, the greater the amount of data).
Later on, other dierent compressed audio le formats were developed; the second most important after „MP3” is the „WMA” format.
Meanwhile, there are both free of charge and/or very ex­pensive programs for almost all operating systems availa­ble on the market that can be used with any available au­dio CD (or other source), to help you create compressed music les.
Please note:
A lot of audio CDs are copy protected to prevent cloning. In some cases, complications could arise when converting into a compressed music data le.
Hi- CD players will normally not be aected by copy pro­tected CDs; a lot of computer drives will although refuse playback.
The industry is tending to gradually change back to CDs that are not copy protected, due to the many problems that DVD players, car radios and other portable playback units are having with this copy protection method.
This copy protection system was developed to prevent CD cloning and circulation, which is why many record compa­nies are trying to protect their CDs.
Such trends threaten the existence of artists, musicians and the music industry. The development of the copy protec­tion system has also led to an illegal circulation of music in the form of MP3 les via internet and online exchange.
What it comes down to, is that there are now quite a numb-

er of various internet providers on the market oering compressed music les that can be legally purchased and downloaded.
Being able to listen to dierent samples of music and ha­ving the ability to download directly, one is only minutes away (granted you have DSL) from desired songs in either MP3 or WMA format.
There are even special internet radio stations extra for re­cording, provided you have the proper software.
MP3 les (as well as WMA les) are nothing more than a spe­cic compression format designed to reduce the amount of space needed for saving and storing compressed songs.

USB connection (Data transfer)

These operating systems require no driver installation. The driver is already a part of these systems. Turn your com­puter on and wait until the boot sequence has been fully completed.
Connect your MP3 player to a USB port on your computer. Windows will recognize the new hardware automatically and the respective drivers will be installed.
Once installed, you will nd a new driver letter in My Com­puter/ Explorer. This extra driver can now be used for your MP3 player (for copying and deleting les, creating new folders, etc.). The Windows operating system recognizes your player as a removable medium and will assign it to a drive letter (e.g. E: \). Now you can use My Computer or Explorer to transfer and store data onto your player.
