20. Notice
Make sure all keys are enabled before operation. If they are locked, hold down the MENU and
VOL- button to unlock them.
Please charge the battery immediately when the display indicates low battery, or the device
will be powered off automatically.
Please disconnect the player from PC properly to avoid data loss.

Exact transfer rate should be subject to the player's indication.
21. Listening Cautions
Do not play your earphones or headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise
against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal
in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear
outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
29
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes
of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
a. Start your volume control at a low setting.
b. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level, leave it there.
22. Precautions
1). When not using the player for an extended period of time, please charge the battery at least
once per month to extend the battery life.
2). Do not use the player in extremely hot, cold, dusty or damp environments.
3). Make sure the keys are unlocked before using the player (otherwise controls will not function).
4). Avoid dropping or striking the unit .This may cause external and internal physical damage to the
player.
5). Charge the battery if:
a) The battery level icon displays
(An empty battery)
b) The player powers off automatically and off again when restarted.
c) No response when pressing keys with keys unlocked and battery installed
6).To prevent damage from static shock, never use the player in very dry conditions.
30
7). When player is being formatted or transferring a file, do not interrupt the connection. Otherwise,
data may be corrupt of lost.
8). When the player is used as a portable HD, please use only per instructions. Otherwise,
permanent data loss could occur.
