12


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”).

TOSHIBA shall not be liable whatsoever for any corruption or loss of stored data due to the complete discharge of the built-in battery.


13

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.

Setting the BATTERY switch to OFF will return all of the settings to their default values (which is the condition when the gigabeat was first used after purchasing it).

Direct Charging from the AC Adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the gigabeat in the order indicated in the diagram below.

When removing the gigabeat from the USB CRADLE, pull straight out in the direction of the arrow ( ) in the above diagram.

Charge with Connected to PC Using USB Cable

Connect the gigabeat to the PC with the supplied USB cable.

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.

31


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.

will be displayed while the AC adapter is connected.

32


Turning the Power ON/OFF

● Preparation

●

Set the BATTERY switch to ON. ( p. 30)

Turning the Power ON/OFF

Press and hold the POWER button.

Holding down the button of the wired remote control (supplied with the

MEGF60, MEGF40) for 2 seconds or longer will also turn the power on or off.

The power cannot be turned on or off during the HOLD condition. Switch off

HOLD and then press the POWER button.

When the gigabeat is used for the first time or when turning on the power for the first time after resetting ( p.68) or after the battery became exhausted and was subsequently charged, a TIMEZONE Setup window will be displayed.

Set the TIMEZONE ( p.64) and DATE/TIME ( p.65).

When not playing music and not in use of the screen and power will turn off automatically. While connected to the AC adapter, the screen will darken, but it will not go off.

See “BACKLIGHT OFF TIME” ( p. 62).

See “AUTO POWER OFF” ( p. 62).

When the screen is off, the press of a button on the side of the gigabeat will light the screen and the gigabeat will receive the input of that button.

When the screen is off, operation of the Plus Touch will light the screen, but that input will not be received by the gigabeat.

Playing Music Tracks

● Preparation

●

●

●

●

Transfer tracks to the gigabeat beforehand. See the Owner’s Manual-“gigabeat room” for the procedure for transferring tracks.

Connect the supplied EARBUDS to the headphone jack on the main unit.

When using the wired remote control (supplied with the MEGF60 and MEGF40, optional for MEGF20/MEGF10), connect the wired remote control to the headphone jack on the main unit, and connect the supplied EARBUDS to the wired remote control.

Turn the power ON. ( p. 33)

Turn the power to the gigabeat OFF before connecting or disconnecting the wired remote control.

Insert the plug of the wired remote control firmly to the end. Incomplete insertion may disable the remote controller operation, although sound may be heard.

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 playback time of WAV tracks are significantly shorter than when MP3 or WMA tracks are played.
