6 Important safety instructions
Please read and strictly observe the following
instructions!
You are not permitted to disassemble, modify or repair the
MP3 player.
If the MP3 player has been dropped or if the casing has been dam-
aged, turn it off.
Do not give your MP3 player and especially the accessories to
children. Never let your children use electrical devices without supervi-
sion. Children are not always able to recognize potential hazards. Batter-
ies can be fatal if swallowed. Store the batteries out of reach of small
children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical help has to be ob-
tained immediately. Also keep the packaging films away from children.
There is a danger of suffocation.
The MP3 player and the accompanying components may not be
exposed to dripping or sprayed water. Additionally, no objects or con-
tainers containing liquids, such as vases or glasses, may be placed on
top of the device. Pay special attention to the device when it rains,
snows, at the beach, or in the vicinity of water.
Do not use the MP3 player in environments with high humidity,
large amounts of steam, smoke, or dust.
Don’t leave the MP3 player in locations where the temperature can
rise to a large degree (e.g. inside a vehicle). This could damage the
casing and interior parts and cause a fire.
Only place the MP3 player on stable surfaces. Otherwise the MP3
player could drop or topple, cause injuries or sustain damage. Don’t let
the MP3 player drop or bump against anything and take great care when
using it.
6
English
Make sure that the display is not exposed to any bumps. This could
damage the glass of the display or cause the liquid to leak out. If the liq-
uid gets into the eyes, on the skin or the clothes, it has to be rinsed off
immediately with clear water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, consult your
physician immediately.
Don’t use the MP3 player at an excessive volume.
Longer listening periods at an excessive volume pose a
risk to your hearing.
Articles 44.5 and 44.6 of the law about public health maintenance, modi-
fied by article 2 of the law from May 28, 1996, prescribe a restriction of
the sound pressure at a maximum of 100 dB(A). The headphones
(SilverCrest DA-16R) and the device comply with these legal regulations
to their full extent. Longer listening periods at a full volume of the device
may cause hearing damage to the user.
Only use the MP3 player with the included headphones. The use of
headphones with other input impedances can lead to sound pressure
that may pose a health risk.
Use particular care in potentially dangerous situations (e.g. while
driving, riding a bicycle, jogging, etc.) or discontinue the use of the
headphones temporarily. Even if your headphones are designed in
such a way that you can continue to perceive external sounds, you
should set the volume only so high that you can still perceive your envi-
ronment.
We advise against the use of headphones while driving a car or
other vehicle. Please drive carefully and attentively. If you notice that
the device distracts or impedes you while you are driving, switch it off.
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is replaced improperly. Also
read the important information about battery use on page 16.
Dispose of your battery in compliance with the battery ordinance.
“The end consumer is obligated to return discarded batteries to a
distributor or a redemption site intended for this purpose by a public
waste management facility.” (see p. 38)
7
English
Dispose of your MP3 player and the batteries in
compliance with the Directive 2002/96/EC (see p.
38). In particular, the device does not belong into
household trash.

12 Basic functions
With the MP3 player DA-16R, you can listen to music and make recordings. How
you use these functions is described starting on p. 17 . But first you will receive an
introduction to basic functions such as turning the device on and off, using the key

To turn the device on, press the button for about three seconds. After a brief
moment, the SilverCrest logo will appear. After a brief loading time, the device is
operational.
Note:
If the MP3 player breaks off the loading process without a message, the bat-
tery is too weak and has to be replaced. For more information about this, read
Replacing the battery on page 15.
12.2 Turning the device off
To turn the device off, please press the button for approx. three seconds.
Then the device switches off and the message “shutting down” appears on the
display. When you turn off the device, it doesn’t matter whether you are playing
music or recording or changing the settings in the menu.
Note:
To turn off your device, the key lock has to be disabled.
Your MP3 player can turn off automatically to save energy. For more infor-
mation about this, read p. 26.
14
English
12.3 Key lock

ignored and the key lock symbol appears.
To activate the key lock, you have to slide the
HOLD button in the direction of
the arrow and the key lock symbol will appear on the display. To disable the key

15
English
12.5 Volume
During the playback of music titles or recordings, you can select the volume of the
device with the volume button VOL-/+
/ on the side of the device in a range
from 0 (mute) to the maximum.
12.6 Replacing the battery
If the battery symbol in the display shows an empty battery, you will need to
change the battery soon. To do this, turn off the MP3 player (p. 13), remove the
cap
, open the battery compartment on the back of the device and remove the
battery. Insert the new battery with the correct polarity (see illustration) and close
the battery compartment again. Only use batteries of the type 1.5 V micro AAA.
Note:
To extend the life of your batteries, you can save energy in the following ways:
Reduce the duration of the backlight (p. 26).
Use the energy saving function (“Auto Off”) (see p. 26).
Please make sure you observe the following information about the batteries as well
as the guidelines about the disposal of batteries on page 38.
16
English
Important information about the battery:
Make sure that the battery is always inserted in the device with the correct
polarity. Only replace it with the same or an equivalent type. There is a danger
of explosion if the battery is changed improperly.
Don’t attempt to recharge a battery that is not intended for that purpose. There
is a danger of explosion.
Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Store the batteries out of reach of small
children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical help has to be obtained im-
mediately.
Do not expose batteries to heat and especially not to fire. Never short-circuit
the batteries and don’t try to open them forcefully or recharge them. Otherwise
batteries can explode and cause severe injuries.
Never replace the battery in an environment that poses a risk of explosions.
During the insertion or removal of the battery there might be a spark that could
cause an explosion. Areas that are at risk of explosions are usually labelled as
such, although not always clearly. They include tank areas, such as e.g. below
the decks of boats, fuel overpasses, fuel storage areas, areas in which the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as e.g. grain, dust or metallic powder, as
well as all other areas in which you are normally instructed to turn off your ve-
hicle engine.
Also read the important information about battery disposal on page 38.

corded six WAV files, the next recorded file will be stored under “V007.WAV“ in the
“Voice“ folder. If you have deleted other WAV files in the meantime (e.g.
“V003.WAV“), then the file is always stored at the lowest available position, which
in this case means under “V003.WAV“.
You can exit the voice mode by pressing the M button

The recording can only be carried out in wav format. The mp3 format is not
supported.

recording is terminated.
