Getting Started

Charging the Battery

Your player has an integrated rechargeable battery.

Upon initial use, the battery should be charged fully

to ensure optimal performance and battery life.

If the player has not been used in a while, the bat-

tery may need to be recharged overnight (about 8

hours).

The battery used in this device may present a re or

chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, in-

cinerate, or heat the battery. Do not leave the battery

in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a car with its

windows closed.

Do not connect the player to a power source other

than that which is indicated here or on the label as this

may result in the risk of re or electric shock.

Charging with a Computer

Your player can be charged through a USB com-

puter connection. Use the supplied USB cable to

connect the player to a high-power USB port of a

computer. The computer must be powered on and

not in sleep mode.

When the player is connected and charging, a USB

symbol will be displayed on the player’s screen.
