TROUBLE SHOOTING Why can't some MP3 files be played? MP3 Standard only includes: the songs in layer 3 of MPEG, layer 3 of MPEG2 and layer 3 of MPEG2.5. Otherwise, songs won't be played in the player except they are transformed by the corresponding software Why doesn't the memory size displayed under the operation system match the figure on the tab? The software in the MP3 player takes up a small portion of the memory, which coincides with the corresponding standards. More about WAV format This unit supports WAV files of IMA ADPCM format only. If you want to store WAV files of other format in this player, please set up a new folder and store the WAV files in it. Don’t put the WAV files of other format into the root directory of the player or the folder VOICE. Otherwise the player may shut down when play- ing such WAV files. What causes the MP3 player running slowly? Using or deleting files frequentiy over a long time will generate fragments in the flash memory like fragmention of a hard disk Fragmentation slows down the operating speed of the player. What if the driver program of the MP3 player has been dam- aged? Normally this is caused by improper operation. For details, please refer to the Upgrade/Renew Software part. GB-25 | MP-200

What if the MP3 player works abnormally, i.e, shutting down? When abnormal situation occurred due to improper opera- tion, push the POWER ON switch to OFF and then toward ON.
