Spirit and accessories • • • • • • • Spirit Player Software Installation CD USB Cable Universal AC Adapter/Charger Stereo Earphones with Microphone Carrying case Quick Start Guide Booklet As delivered the SPIRIT battery is not charged. To start using your SPIRIT first charge the battery as outlined in 1.2 below. 1.2. Charging the Battery Your SPIRIT comes supplied with an integral rechargeable Lithium-Ion Polymer battery. It is recommended that the battery be fully charged before you use the Player for the first time. To charge the battery, connect the Universal AC Adapter/Charger to the main AC supply and the DC (5V) plug to the “DC-In” socket on the bottom edge of the SPIRIT. It will take approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery. The battery indicator, at the top right hand corner of the display, will show that the Player is being charged, (when device is switched on), unplug the charger after 3 hours, SPIRIT will indicate when the battery is fully charged. 1.3. Running the SPIRIT while plugged in If operating the Player indoors and power is available, it is advisable to operate the Player through the Universal AC Adapter/Charger. This will preserve battery life, especially during power intensive operations such as downloading files from your PC to the Player. 1.4. Reset If the SPIRIT is not responding to any button presses then it is possible to restart it using the reset switch. Before using resetting sequence, check that, the unit has a fully charged battery or is running from the AC Adapter. Resetting Sequence Press and hold the play button. While play is pressed, press the reset button with a paperclip, and finally release the “PLAY” button. 1.5. Software Installation: The CD that comes with the player contains • Windows MediaTM Player Software in many languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish and Portuguese).

Visit the Mixman’s official website for detailed information (www. mixman.com). SPIRITMAN060104 Entempo 4 • • • 1.6. Soft copy of SPIRIT Manual and Quick Start Guide Drivers for Windows 98SE Registration form Installation of Spirit Device on your computer Power on the SPIRIT and connect the SPIRIT to your PC using the USB cable provided. Launch Windows Explorer on the PC, and click on the “My Computer” folder. Windows will automatically recognise the SPIRIT as a removable storage device available to Windows. The SPIRIT will be allocated a drive letter (as with the existing storage devices on your PC) and will be listed among the other storage devices. You can treat this drive like any other system drive. Windows supports the full range of file handling functions including: drag and drop, copy, paste and delete. You can organize the drive space by creating folders and sub folders, as you require. For Win98 users, please install the device driver from the CD. Insert CD. DO NOT CONNECT THE DEVICE TO THE COMPUTER YET Start >>>>>>Control Panel >>>>>>Add Hardware Choose installation location and point to the Driver Folder on the CD-ROM Windows will install the software. Connect device and reboot computer. ‘My Computer’ will assign a letter for the new drive. 1.6.1. WAV, MP3 and WMA formats The SPIRIT supports WAV files, for low bit rate voice recording, by the device and two compressed music file formats: MP3 and WMA. The SPIRIT will play files in either file format automatically. MP3 and WMA extensions denote that these are compressed files. The WAV format typically denotes the extension on a CD or hard drive in UNCOMPRESSED format. The SPIRIT is shipped with a few tracks loaded on the HDD. Your choice of format and compression standard will affect the quality of the music and the corresponding file size. NOTE: WAV, MP3 and WMA are Music files. 1.6.2. Managing Music with Windows MediaTM Player With Windows Media TM Player installed on your PC, you can either build a library of music files on your PC by “ripping” your audio CD collection or by transferring already encoded MP3 or WMA files from your PC directly. (If you do not have Windows Media TM Player installed on your PC, load the copy supplied with the SPIRIT CD. Follow the installation instructions, which will automatically be presented when the CD is installed in the drive.) To load music from the PC, connect the SPIRIT to the PC using the USB cable provided. The USB socket is on the bottom edge of the SPIRIT. Select the Windows MediaTM Application on your PC and follow the Application instructions for the transfer of files. SPIRITMAN060104 Entempo 5 1.6.3. Managing Music with Windows Explorer Software You can organize the drive space by creating folders and sub folders, as you require. Drag and drop files from your desktop to the folder of your choice on the device. You can also use standard windows copy commands to transfer these files. Wait until all files are transferred – this can take a few seconds after the copying window has closed. Now remove the USB cable from the SPIRIT using Window’s ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ feature. The Player will restart automatically. If the device is not disconnected properly, it may freeze and require a reset. The PLAYER will now index the new files you have downloaded; during this process, the SPIRIT will display progress information on the display. This process may take several minutes, after which the top-level menu will be displayed and you can now access your music. You can also transfer data files this way, and use your SPIRIT as backup, or standard file storage. The data files are not visible in the SPIRIT display. All management of these files must be done with the player connected to a computer. 1.6.4. Creating New Folders and Sub-folders on the SPIRIT from your PC New folders and sub folders can be created on the SPIRIT from your PC. This is done from the Windows operating system, with the player connected as in 1.5. Launch the Windows Explorer and select the SPIRIT drive, by selecting “FILE | NEW > FOLDER”. A new folder can be created at any point in the directory structure. Refer to the Windows Help for further information about file management. 1.6.5. Copying and Moving Data Files to the SPIRIT from your PC Files can be copied and moved to the SPIRIT from your PC. This is done over USB connection using the Windows operating system with the player connected as in 1.5 above. Launch the Windows Explorer and select the SPIRIT drive, select the file or folder to be moved and drag and drop to the new location. A “Move” will be the default action if the source and destination are on the same drive, a “Copy” will be the default operation if the source is on a different drive from the destination. Refer to the Windows Help for further information about file management. Data files will not be listed with the music files in the index but should be organised and managed with the SPIRIT attached to the PC. 1.6.6.
