Why is my USB drive not detected?

Ensure the USB drive is formatted as FAT32, NTFS, or exFAT. The drive should be powered directly; external hubs may not work. Try a different USB port or reformat the drive.

How do I navigate the menu?

Use the remote control to navigate. Arrow keys move the cursor, 'OK' selects, 'Return' goes back. The interface shows folders and files from your connected storage.

Can I play videos from an SD card?

Yes, insert the SD card into the SD card slot on the device. The player will read the card and display its contents.

The remote control doesn't work. What should I do?

First, check the batteries. Replace them with two AAA batteries. Ensure no obstacles between the remote and the infrared receiver on the player. If still not working, try resetting the player by unplugging it.

How do I reset the device to factory settings?

My device is stuck or not responding. How do I fix it?

Setting up your MP3 player

Charging the battery

Charge the battery whenever you aren't using the player to make sure it's always fully charged. The battery charges in about three hours. A fully charged battery provides up to 25 hours of continuous music playback, depending on the brightness and display time of the backlight, and the volume levels.

Note

The player ships from the factory partially charged. However, we recommend you fully charge it prior to using it.

Tip

To maximize your battery life, in the Settings menu select Display, On Standby, then select Off. If you use this setting, the LCD turns off when the player detects that the user is not pressing any controls.

To charge the battery:

1 Turn on your computer.

2 Connect the supplied mini USB 2.0 cable to the mini USB jack on the player and a standard USB jack on your computer. When the cable is connected correctly, the player begins recharging its battery using the USB connection, and the message OK to disconnect appears on the player.

As the battery charges, the blue battery icon shows an animation of being filled from right to left, to illustrate that the battery is charging.

After the player is fully charged, the battery icon turns green, indicating a full charge.

Note

Most AC USB chargers will charge the player as long as they output 5 V and can provide at least 500 mA of current.

Connecting headphones

You can use any headphones with a standard 3.5mm stereo audio plug.

Note

To use Bluetooth headphones instead of standard wired headphones, see "Connecting to Bluetooth headphones" on page 27.

To connect headphones:

- Plug headphones or the provided earphones into the earphone/headphone jacks on the player.

Note

To use the FM radio, you must have the provided earphones connected, because they act as the FM antenna. You can use any headphones with unshielded wires. For best reception and especially to receive RDS text, make sure that your headphone cable is not coiled and is extended to maximize its length.
