How long does it take to search for songs on a

memory card?

Search time depends on the size of the memory card,

how many songs it holds, and how much information

each song has. Searching a card can take anywhere from

15 seconds to 5 minutes.

Why can't I see all songs I saved to my memory card?You can save up to 50 files in each folder that you create.

A file name (including the path) must be less than 255

characters. For example, if you copy songs into a folder

you create that is named MyMotoSongs, the name of

any song PLUS the name of the folder MyMotoSongsmust be less than 255 characters. Song names that are

longer than 255 characters will be shortened automatically

when you copy them to your memory card.

Why are my songs listed in a different order than

they are on the CD they came from?If songs dont include track numbers before track names,

they are listed in alphabetical order by track name.

To make sure songs are listed in the expected order:

Make sure that track names are preceded by

track numbers.


18/22

16

find answers Make sure the application you use to rip CDs is

set to create file names that begin with the track

number plus the track name when ripping a CD.

Why doesnt my PC recognise the phones removable

memory card, even though the card was formatted

by the phone?

Your PC may be unable to recognise a removablememory card that was formatted by the phone. When

the PC prompts: Do you want to reformat? Click Yes

to continue. Be aware that formatting the memory card

erases all content on the card.

Where can I find more answers to my questions?
