Notes
•Do not put too many files (256 at most) under each directory or in the root directory to prevent the system from slowing down. If a large number of files must be put in the player, organize the files into different directories.
•Do not store data in the player to its full memory capacity. Allow at least 0.5 MB for the system to manage memory to prevent the system from slowing down or improper data storage status.
•When transferring files to the Joybee 210 Digital Audio Player, do not remove the USB cable when the transfer is in progress.
•The Joybee 210 Digital Audio Player only plays the files under default folder MP3, FMRADIO and MicIn in the memory.
•Do not remove the USB cable when updating the firmware of the player. Otherwise, the player may not be able to startup. Remove the USB cable only when you are informed by the message on the display.
•This player can play wma files with same bit rate or higher than 48 kbps.
When formatting the player using the Windows Format command, do not format it using the
NTFS file system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I play certain songs in WMA format using my Joybee 210 Digital Audio Player?
Some WMA songs currently available from the Internet are copyright protected. This kind of protection method prevents unauthorized person from playing protected song files. These songs can only be played using a Window Media Player program that has been authorized, and Joybee 210 doesn’t support this kind of music files. For more information on this, please refer to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/drm/default.aspx
How many minutes of MP3 music can be stored in the Joybee 210 Digital Audio Player?
It depends on the memory capacity of the player and the compression ratio used in encoding the MP3 files. For MP3 files encoded by MPEG1 Layer3 with a bit rate of 128kbps and sampling frequency of 44kHz (most commonly used), 1MB of memory can store about 1 minute of music. i.e. 128MB/256MB of memory stores about 128/256 minutes of music.
When should I recharge the battery?
When the battery indicator on the display shows that the battery is empty, or battery appears to be weak (there is only one bar in the battery icon).
Why do different songs have different sound volumes?
Because the parameter of the volume level when recording each song may not be the same, the volume level of different songs are different.
The file size is smaller than the free memory available in my player, but I still cannot transfer it to my player
32
The Joybee 210 Digital Audio Player allocates memory in cluster of 16KB or 32KB. A file of 1
Byte also occupies one cluster, so a file of a size smaller than the free memory available might not be transferred to the player.
Why is the memory capacity shown in the player smaller than that in the specifications chart?
The player needs some memory space to store other system data, therefore the usable memory is smaller than its full capacity.
How can I get the updated firmware and fonts data?
You can go to BenQ website at http://www.BenQ.com to download these data when they are available.
The Joybee 210 Digital Audio Player does not start up!
Check the following:
•Make sure if you have accidentally disconnected the player from the computer when updating firmware.
•Physical damages in the flash memory may result in this problem.
•The battery power is too low.
Solutions:
•Recharge the battery.
•Perform the firmware upgrade procedure again.
•Please try to format the flash memory completely. If the problem still exists, please contact your local service providers.
Can Joybee 210 be formatted using my computer?
33
When formatting the player using the Windows Format command, do not format it using the
NTFS file system.
Why can’t my QMusic read my Joybee 210?
Maybe the QMusic you are using is not the latest version, please uninstall the old version and run installation again. Or, you can go to www.benq.com.tw/support to download the program. Please select MP3 player/ applications to get the latest QMusic.
