BATTERY POWER

• Your MP4 Energy™ has an integrated rechargeable Li-Ion battery. It comes fully charged from factory, but it is recommended to perform a full recharge before the first use.

Recharge the battery connecting the player to a computer using the included USB 2.0 cable (using any USB type mini-B with 5-pins will also work).

Optionally, you can recharge the battery with an AC/DC power adaptor with an USB connector (USB type mini-B with 5-pins) (NOTE: the output of the AC/DC must be 500mA maximum).

Charging time is between 3-5 hours, depending if the player is powered off or working. To keep the battery in good conditions, we recommend not using the player while charging, with the power switch in "OFF" position and not leaving it charging for more than 8 hours.

For battery saving, your MP4 Energy™ has two systems:

It will power off the LCD display after 30 seconds of inactivity, and it will power off completely after another 10 minutes of inactivity. Both systems are configurable, respectively, browsing the menus SETTINGS -> Display, or SETTINGS -> Power off. In order to maximize the battery's lifespan, it is recommended to not completely disable this power saving features.

Note: When powering on, the device performs a memory check. The power on time depends on the amount of occupied memory.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Why can't I play some MP3 files? I.

The MP3 file has to be compressed along some standards like MPEG1/MPEG2/ MPEG 2.5 layer 3. Otherwise, the file must be converted using a software application.

My player doesn't power on and/or my computer doesn't detect it, what can I do? 2. Probably there is a problem with the firmware. Check the user manual section "FIRMAWARE REINSTALLATION".

Why can't I play some WMA files? 3.

Make sure that you are not coding the WMA files with DRM.

Why can't I see the image, video or text files while using the music browser? 4.

You will only see the files in memory associated to the browsing you are doing (music files for Music, image files for Photo, etc...) To view all the files in memory at once, choose the "Browser" option in the main menu.

Why can't I display my.jpg files? 5.

Many digital cameras and image edition software add hidden data to the .jpg files. This data can prevent your MP4 from loading the images. Try to eliminate them by saving the file with another name.

TROUBLESHOOTING

When I switch off the MP4 with the ON/OFF button, the brightness or the song I 6. was listening to is not stored. What gives?
