Quick Start Guide
The full version of the Instruction Manual can be found on the supplied CD-Rom disc.
This Quick start guide allows users to load and start playing music files, but we recommend reading the entire
manual to understand all of the features on your new ATAK MP3 player.
As with any ‘plug and play’ USB storage device, digital media files can be added to the player from the host
computer simply by using the ‘drag and drop’ approach familiar to most Windows users.
Charge the Player
Before attempting to use, be sure to fully charge the player using the directions listed below!!!
Uploading Files to the Player
1) Uploading digital media files is easy – just connect the player via USB and start loading files immediately.
2) Once connected to a computer, the player will appear as a ‘Removable disk’ or ‘USB storage device’ and
files can be copied directly onto the player. If the computer does not automatically recognize the player,
open the ‘My Computer’ icon from the desktop and click on the ‘Removable disk’ or ‘USB storage device’ to
access the player’s USB memory.
3) The player will automatically organize digital media files and open them using the appropriate application
from the player’s main menu. For example, if MP3 or WMA files are loaded on to the player, users will be
able to play these files when opening the Music mode from the main menu.
Important! - For more detailed information on loading digital media files see the ‘Getting started’ section of this

Loading digital media files
The ATAK digital portable player’s ‘plug and play’ functionality means it’s easy to load your favourite music,
movies, photos and other media files onto the player. Connected via USB to a PC equipped with Microsoft
Windows® 2000 or newer and the PLAYER appears as a ‘Removable Disk’ or ‘USB storage device’ in the ‘My
Computer’ menu allowing you to simply drag and drop or copy digital media files directly onto the player’s USB
drive.
Once connected to a computer this screen will appear –
When downloading digital media files to the PLAYER this screen will appear –
When uploading digital media files from the PLAYER this screen will appear –
The MP3 Players’ software automatically manages the files you load, so that when you power on the player,
media files are organized by file type (e.g. MP3 files appear in Music mode, JPEG files appear in Photo mode
etc.).
Each time you reconnect your MP3 Player to a computer, you can manage the files loaded onto the player by
removing or adding to the files via the ‘Removable Disk’ within the ‘My Computer’ menu on the computer’s
desktop.
