These usage and safety guidelines are IMPORTANT! Please follow them carefully.

General Use

  • Unpack the contents of the Digital Music Player package carefully.
  • Do not allow your Digital Music Player to get wet or come in contact with water or any other liquids.
  • Do not use a damp/wet cloth to wipe the exterior case.
  • Do not use or store your Digital Music Player in any of the following environments:

  • To maintain battery health, be sure to complete at least one full discharge/charge cycle per month.

Backing Up Data

Transcend does NOT take any responsibility for data loss or damage during operation. If you decide to store data on your Digital Music Player, we strongly advise that you regularly backup the data to a computer or other storage medium.

To ensure Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates when connecting to a computer, please ensure the computer has the necessary USB drivers. If you are unsure how to check this, please consult your computer or motherboard's User's Manual for USB driver information.

Caution: Risk of Deafness

  • Repeated or regular use of headphones or earphones at volume levels above 80 decibels can give a false impression that the audio level is not high enough. Users may try to progressively increase the volume control, therefore risking a dangerous noise level for their ears.
  • To protect your health and your hearing, keep the volume of your MP3 player below 80 decibels and do not use for an extended period of time. Stop use if symptoms like headaches, nausea, or hearing disorders occur.
  • Your MP3 player is limited to a volume level of 100 decibels.
  • Both the MP3 player and its accompanying earphones are compliant with the French regulation concerning musical Walkmans (24th July 1998 Order).
  • Before using any other earphones, confirm that their technical specifications are compatible with the original set.

Reminders

  • Make sure the ◀HOLD switch is not enabled before turning on the player.
  • Never use the “Quick Format” or “Full Format” functions in Windows® to format your MP650.
  • Follow the procedures in the “Disconnecting from a Computer” section to properly remove your MP650 from a computer.
  • Transcend occasionally releases firmware updates for certain products. We suggest you visit http://www.transcendusa.com and download the latest firmware version for your device.

■ VAD (Voice Activity Detection)

VAD allows the MP650 to make gapless voice recordings. This means during voice recording with the internal microphone, the player will only record when it detects voices. If the person(s) pauses or stops speaking, the MP650 will temporarily stop recording until the person(s) starts speaking again. This allows for more concise, easier to understand recordings and smaller recording files.
