GettingÂstarted

Charging the Battery

Your player has an integrated rechargeable battery.

Upon initial use, the battery should be charged fully to ensure optimal performance and battery life.

If the player has not been used in a while, the battery may need to be recharged overnight (about

8 hours).

Charging with a Computer

Your player can be charged through a USB computer connection. Use the supplied USB cable to connect the player to a high-power USB port of a computer. The computer must be powered on and not in sleep mode.

When the player is connected and charging, a USB symbol will be displayed on the player’s screen.

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or heat the battery.

Do not leave the battery in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a car with its windows closed.

Do not connect the player to a power source other than that which is indicated here or on the label as this may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

 To turn the player on, press and hold the

<ENTER> button until the screen turns on.

 To turn the player off, press and hold the

<ENTER> button until the screen turns off.

Resetting the Player

Reset the player if it should freeze and not respond or otherwise malfunction.

Using the Touchscreen Controls

Your video MP3 player comes equipped with an easy-to-use touchscreen which allows access to the player’s functions. Use your finger tip or a stylus to tap the area of the screen where a control icon is displayed. If you tap and hold an icon, it will register as a continuous button press.

To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with excessive force or with any object other than your finger or the stylus. For best response, make sure your hands are clean before using the touchscreen controls.
