Important Safety Instructions

PLEASE READ THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING

YOUR SANSA PLAYER.

1. Read this entire manual to ensure proper usage.

2. Keep this User’s Manual for future reference.

3. Do not use Headphones/Earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in some areas. It can also be dangerous to play your music with Headphones/Earphones at high volume while walking, or engaged in other activities. You should exercise extreme caution and discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

4. Avoid using Headphones/Earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous loud and extended music play. Keep the volume at a moderate level, so that you are better able to hear outside sound, and to be

considerate of the people around you.

5. Keep your player away from sinks, drinks, bathtubs, showers, rain, and other sources of moisture. Moisture can cause electric shocks with any electronic device.

Cleaning Tips

Follow these tips to keep your player working well for a long time:

• Clean your player with a soft lint-free cloth used on glass lenses.

• Do not allow young children to use your player unsupervised.

• Never force any connector into the ports of your player or your computer. Make sure your connectors are the identical shape and size before you connect.

• Do not disassemble, crush, short-circuit or incinerate battery as it may cause fire, injury, burns or other hazards.

Important Safety Instructions & Cleaning Tips

Important – Safety Hearing Level Info

READ THIS BEFORE USING YOUR SANSA PLAYER

Congratulations on the purchase of your Sansa ® media player!

Your media player is equipped with a variety of features. To help you maximize your listening pleasure, SanDisk would like to advise you that it is important to use your headphones with your media player at a safe hearing level.

Exposure or repeated exposure for an extended period of time to music and other sounds that are too loud can cause damage to your hearing resulting in temporary or even permanent “noise induced hearing loss”.

Symptoms of hearing loss increase gradually with prolonged exposure at high levels of loudness. Initially, you may not even be aware of the loss unless detected with a hearing test.

Hearing levels

To help you understand what may be considered a safe hearing level, the following examples are included for your reference.

Examples of Typical Approximate Sound level:

• Sound Levels in Decibels (dB)*

• Refrigerator humming 40

• Normal conversation 60

• City traffic 80

• Motorcycles and lawnmowers 90#

• Rock concerts 110-120#

• Firearms 120-140#

* A decibel (dB) is a unit of relative measurement of the strength of sound wave. In decibels

(dB), a measured signal level doubles with every additional 3 dB.

# These sound decibel levels are considered harmful under extended exposure.

Information courtesy of the National Institute of Deafness & Other Communication Disorders

(NIDCD) http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/noise.asp

.

For your safety!

Your hearing may adapt to higher volumes of sound. In order to prevent any harmful impact to your hearing, you must control the sound emanating from your headphones and set the media player volume to a low setting where you can hear it clearly and comfortably.

Studies, including one from NIDCD indicate that sounds of less than 80 decibels, even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause a hearing loss. Listen to your media player at such a level that you can still hear conversation and other people in your environment without shouting when you attempt to converse.

It can also be dangerous to play your music with headphones/earphones at high volume while walking, or engaged in other activities. You should exercise extreme caution and discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.


3

Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle.

This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in some areas.

Disposal Instructions

Do not dispose of this device with unsorted waste. Improper disposal may be harmful to the environment and human health. Please refer to your local waste authority for information on return and collection systems in your area.

NOTE: For Home and Personal Use

This product is intended to be used for recording and playback for your home and personal enjoyment. Copying and commercial use of copyrighted material without permission of the copyright owner may be prohibited by law. Use of your media player, in compliance with all copyright and applicable intellectual property laws, remains the responsibility of the user of the product.

Tips & Troubleshooting

How do I drag music files to my Sansa View player?

As long as the files are WMA or MP3, they can be dragged into the Music folder.

Which bit rates will the Sansa View player support?

The Sansa View player will support 32-320Kbps for MP3 and 32-192Kbps for WMA.

How do I format my Sansa View player?

You can format your Sansa player directly through System Settings or via PC.

Why should I update the firmware?

You should always update the player to the latest firmware to ensure that it functions correctly and has all the latest features.

How do I transfer videos and photos to my Sansa View player?

You need to install the Sansa Media Converter software (available via Sansa Firmware

Updater http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4431 ). This software will convert your video and photo files then transfer them to the player. Refer to the Sansa Media

Converter software for details on file formats supported.

What music file formats does the Sansa View support?

The Sansa View player supports MP3, WAV, WMA, secure WMA, and Audible formats.

27 Tips & Troubleshooting

Some of my music files are on my player, but cannot be played.

When I select them, another song begins to play. What is wrong?

You may not have purchased the rights to play the song on an additional device. To test this, try to play a song that you have copied from an older CD and converted to MP3 format.

If you can play the test song, but not the original song that wouldn’t play, then you need to purchase the rights to play the song.

Is the player compatible with podcast?

As long as the podcasts are in MP3 format and an appropriate bit rate (32-320 kbps), then the player should be capable of playing the files. Any MP3 files with Genre set as “podcast” will show up under Music\Podcast.

Why does my player say unknown artist/album?

Normally this is because the ID3 tags or WMA meta data information are missing. On the computer, right-click the song, choose Properties, Summary tab then Advanced. Then you can input the data such as Artist, Album, Song Title, Track Number, Genre, and Year.

Can the Sansa View player read the high capacity microSD cards?

Yes, the Sansa View player can read and write to both microSD and microSDHC cards.

How do I reset my Sansa View player?

To reset your Sansa View player, slide and hold the power button for approximately 20 seconds.
