Buttons and interface:

To exit from your current operation, press “ESC” button

The LED on the player can have two states. If the light is green, the unit is on. If the light is red,

it means the unit is charging.

Basic operation:

1). Power on operation:

Press the “power” button for 2 seconds. The first screen you see is the main menu.

2). Power off operation:

Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the unit off.

3). Charging the unit:

Connect the charger to a wall socket and then plug it into the unit. The LED light should turn

red and the player will be charging at this point.

Note: You can charge the player even if it is on!

4). Connecting the unit to your computer:

Turn the player on; connect USB cable’s smaller port with mini USB port and the bigger one

with the USB port on your computer. Your Computer should now recognize the player. Open

“My Computer” and you will find one/two removable disks. If you have an SD Card inserted

in the player you should see two removable disks.

5 Ejecting your player from the computer:

Make sure that you take the time to eject your player from your computer after each session.

This is important because not doing so can potentially harm the player and/or cause

data corruption/loss. When you plug the player in, your computer puts an icon in the lower

right hand corner of your desktop as show here:

When you’re ready to eject the player, roll over this icon and click once. It’ll display an option

that says “safely remove hardware” Click that, and it’ll eject the player so you can remove it from

your computer.

Tip: It’s usually a good idea to rename your removable drives to minimize confusion. To do

this, start by plugging just the player into your computer. When your PC recognizes it, open

My Computer and right-click on the removable disk. Select the Rename option and give it a

name. Once you’ve done this, eject the mp3 as described above and put the SD Card in if you

have one. At this point, you’ll see two drives. One of them you’ve already named, the other

one is your SD Card.
