automatically turned off.

before turning power on.
Placing the HOLD latch to ‘ON’ makes all buttons inoperative and thus prevents the player from accidental pressing of
buttons.
Voice Recording
While iAUDIO is connected to PC through the USB cable, power will be supplied to iAUDIO from PC. However, the
battery must be inserted in iAUDIO although it will not be consumed.
One, All, and Ran Repeat Modes may cause the player to keep playing continuously and this will cause
quick consumption of battery power. Therefore, make sure to turn the power off while not in use.
