control to scroll through options, and then select the option by pressing the OK button.
Use the upper or lower sections of the touch pad control to scroll rapidly through options.

to scroll rapidly.
• To "select", use the touch pad control to scroll to the option you want, and select the
option by pressing the OK button.
• When selecting an option, instead of pressing the OK button, you can also tap the touch
pad control. The Tap to Select feature, however, must be enabled. To enable this feature,

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get official information on my player?
Visit www.creative.com for updates and downloads relating to your player, Creative’s
MP3 players and accessories.
If the Selected Music list already has a few albums in it, can I repeat playback of
just one album?
Unfortunately, no. You can only choose to repeat one track, or all tracks.
Why does my player show me track titles starting with "B" when I’m looking
for a track title starting with "A"?
When you look for a track using the FIND feature, your player looks for the closest match.
If you do not have any tracks starting with "A", the closest match can be "B".
My player seems to have frozen. Is there anything I can do?
You can reset your player. Push the end of a thin object (for example, a straightened
paperclip) into the Reset hole.
How can I get accessories for my player?
Visit www.creative.com for the latest news on accessories.
I have to recharge the battery quite often. Is there anything I can do to make it
last longer?
Generally, any operation requiring the player to access the hard disk uses battery power.
Consequently, filling your player to capacity is not recommended. However, some
operations consume more battery power:
• a long backlight timeout setting. A shorter timeout conserves battery power.
• a high contrast setting. Position the player so that you can read the display without using
a high contrast setting.
• too much use of fast forward/reverse.
• turning the player on/off too many times.
• prolonged use at high volumes.

Can I jog with my player?
You should not subject your player to continuous shocks, such as those that are likely to
occur while you jog or run.
Should I leave my player plugged into the power adapter?
No, you should not. After charging the battery or using the player, disconnect it from the
power adapter. Leaving it plugged in leads to heat buildup, which is not good for the player
or the battery.
Can I use the player for portable data storage?
Yes, you can. However, your player is designed for storing and playing audio, not as an extra
hard drive. You can use the supplied USB cable for speedy transfers to and from your
player. Your player will not be recognized as a drive. Use the NOMAD Explorer application
to help you manage data files.
If I damage or lose my power adapter, can I buy a similar, off-the-shelf adapter?
No. The adapter may not be compatible with your player, and may even damage it. You
should get a replacement adapter from Creative at www.creative.com, or your local
Creative office/distributor.
Can I transfer DRM protected WMA files to my player?
Yes. To transfer DRM protected WMA files to your player, you can use either Windows
Media Player or Creative MediaSource. If you are using Nomad Explorer, DO NOT
attempt to transfer DRM protected WMA files using the "drag & drop" or "cut & paste"
method. This does not transfer the licenses that allow you to play the track.
