Explore. The USB Flash Drive appears as a removable disk icon

For Windows 98 SE users only:
Do not remove the USB Flash Drive until Figure 1 appears on the screen again for at least
five seconds.

Make sure you stop your player properly, using the Eject or Safely remove USB Mass
Storage Device option, before disconnecting it from your computer. Failure to
disconnect the player properly can result in corrupted files or music tracks. See the
“Troubleshooting” section in this booklet for details.
Music tracks in the root directory are played back first, followed by music tracks in each
folder. They are played back in alphanumeric order. Your player can recognize tracks
stored in the root directory and in only one level of sub folders.

Troubleshooting
When you turn on the player, an error message “File system error”
appears before the player turns off.
Try formatting your player. See section "Formatting Your Player".
After playing the first few music tracks, the player skips a music track.
The player will only play .MP3, .WMA or .WAV recordings. Other files will be skipped.
Files or music tracks are corrupted when transferred to the player.
After the transfer is complete, make sure you stop your player before disconnecting it from
your computer.
To stop your player in Windows 98 SE, do not remove the USB Flash
Drive until Figure 1 appears on the LCD screen again for at least five
seconds.
To stop your player in Windows 2000, Windows Me or Windows XP, click the Safely
Remove Hardware icon on the Taskbar, click Safely remove USB Mass Storage
Device, and disconnect your player when you are prompted to do so.
The player turns off immediately after it is turned on.
Check that the battery is not depleted.
I have to change the battery quite often. Is there anything I can do to
make it last longer?
Some operations consume more battery power:
• a long backlight timeout setting. A shorter timeout conserves battery power.
• too much use of fast forward/reverse.
• turning the player on/off too many times.
• use of passive speakers or high-powered headphones.
• playback of .WMA files.
