Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause What can you do? My MP3 player cannot be turned on. The HOLD function is activated. Check if the key lock (HOLD switch/HOLD function) of the MP3 player is activated. If yes, deactivate the key lock as described in the operating instructions. No power With an MP3 player that has an integrated battery: When the battery is dead, charge your MP3 player either with a USB cable connected to your PC, or with a USB charger. With a battery-operated MP3 player: The battery is dead. Replace the battery. Only use alkaline batteries. To find out if your MP3 player can also be operated with rechargeable batteries, contact our support team. The battery was incorrectly inserted. Check the polarity of the battery. External effects External effects (such as an electrostatic discharge) can cause your MP3 player to malfunction. If the malfunction continues after you turn your MP3 player off and on, reset the player or update the firmware (the software of the MP3 player). You can find the procedure for this in the operating instructions. The current firmware for your MP3 player is on our website under "Downloads". If you have any questions concerning the firmware update that were not answered in the instructions, please contact our support team. My MP3 player freezes. If this repeatedly occurs for a specific audio file, the file may be damaged. Delete the file. If this does not eliminate the problem, reset the player if possible. If your MP3 players still freezes, update the firmware. My MP3 player does not respond when I press a button. The HOLD function is activated. Check if the key lock (HOLD switch/HOLD function) of your MP3 player is activated. If yes, deactivate the key lock as described in the operating instructions. I do not hear any music from the earphones/headphones. Check if an audio file is being played (the display of the elapsed or remaining time is changing). If not, start playback. Make sure that the stereo jack of the earphones/head- phones is firmly seated in the jack socket. Check if the volume of your MP3 player is loud enough. I transferred files to my MP3 player. The MP3 player can- not play these files. Wrong file format The files might be in a format that your MP3 player cannot play. The file formats supported by your MP3 player can be found on the respective datasheet on the TrekStor homepage at www.trekstor.de. I transferred WMA audio files to my MP3 player. The MP3 player cannot play these files. The files are copy- protected. If the files are WMA DRM copy-protected, you need to copy them through the Windows Media® player. Check beforehand if your MP3 player can play WMA DRM copy-protected files. You can find this information on the datasheet of your MP3 player on the TrekStor homepage at www.trekstor.de.– 20 – – 21 –

Notes: This MP3/movie player is optimized for the provided headphones (32 Ohm impedance). Using other earphones with a lower impedance • can damage the MP3/movie player or earphone, especially MP3/movie players with 2 earphone jacks. Exposing the unit to an electrostatic discharge may interrupt the data transfer between the unit and the computer. If this occurs, the • unit should be unplugged from the USB port and then plugged in again. Note: This device can produce high volumes. In order to avoid hearing loss that can occur immediately, in the future, or gradually, • you should not listen at high volumes for extended periods. This applies regardless of whether you listen with speakers, headphones, or earphones. If you notice a ringing noise in your ears, lower the volume immediately or stop using the MP3/movie player. Please keep in mind that permanent hearing loss can first appear at a later point in time. While you may become accustomed to higher volumes over time so that they may seem normal to you, your sense of hearing may still have been impaired by this. The higher you adjust the volume, the faster your sense of hearing can be damaged. Note: Using earphones while driving a motor vehicle is not recommended and is prohibited in some countries. Always drive carefully • and with full concentration. Stop using your MP3/movie player if you become distracted or interrupted by it when driving a motor vehicle or during other activities that require your full attention. Do not use USB cables longer than 3 meters.• The manufacturer retains the right to continually improve the product. These changes may be made without being directly described in these operating instructions. For this reason, the information provided in these operating instructions may not reflect the current state of the art. The manufacturer only guarantees suitability for the product's intended purpose. In addition, the manufacturer is not responsible for damages or loss of data and subsequent consequences.

I transferred audio files to my MP3 player from my Mac®. The MP3 player cannot play these files. Wrong file format Audio files in AAC format, for example, files that you generate with iTunes®, cannot be played on most MP3 players. Convert these files into MP3 format using a current iTunes® program or a different program. Audio files downloaded from the Internet may have protective mechanisms that prevent conversion. The audio files on my MP3 player are not played in the correct sequence. The playback mode "Shuffle" has been selected. If the playback mode "Shuffle" has been selected, switch to the "Normal" playback mode. Sort your audio files in a subfolder before you copy them, and copy this folder to your MP3 player. In addition, you can sort your audio files by renaming them (by adding numbers such as "001_Title", "002_Title", etc.). Odd characters appear on the display when I play music. The character set is not supported. Some MP3 players cannot correctly display all characters. Only use the standard character set of the menu language selected on the MP3 player when writing file names and ID3 tags, and do not use special characters (such as accents, etc.). I cannot understand the menu language and do not know how to change it. The menu language was incorrectly set. Reset the player or, if this is not possible or does not work, update the firmware. Then the language selection menu usually appears. How can I create MP3 files? To convert audio files (such as music from a CD) into the MP3 format, you need an MP3 encoder (such as the presently free "Audiograbber" program that can be obtained from www.audiograbber.de). Instructions and assistance for operating the program can be found under the help function of the program.– 20 – – 21 –
