BATTERY

Your MP3 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 bundled USB 2.0 cable.
Charging time is between 2 and 3 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 and not leaving it charging for more than 8 hours.

Your MP3 Energy uses two systems for battery saving: It can power off the OLED display after some seconds of inactivity, and it can power off completely after some minutes of inactivity. Both systems are configurable, respectively, browsing the menus SETTINGS -> Backlight time set, and SETTINGS -> Power off. In order to maximize the battery's lifespan, it is advised to not disable completely these power saving features.

POWER ON / OFF

To power on your MP3 Energy press PLAY for a few seconds.

Note: When powering on, the device performs a memory check. The power on time depends on the total amount of memory and the amount of used memory at that moment.

Press PLAY for a few seconds to power off the device while it is on. At that moment, the device will save your settings.

Note: If you power off the device directly with the reset button, your last changes in the settings will be lost, and it will not remember the last song played or the last equalization change, for example.

Additionally you can access the menu SETTINGS -> Power off and set the power off time for the player. With the option "Standby time" you can set the time that the player will remain on with no song being played and no interaction with any button. With the option "Sleep time" you can define when the player will power off, regardless if it is being used or not.
