Description of the key operation
You can operate the key in three ways: short pressing, long pressing and

Long pressing: The effect occurs when you press the key and keep it pressed for
1 … 2 seconds.
Keeping pressed: The effect occurs when you press the key until you release it in
certain intervals repeatedly, e.g. fast forward or highspeed rewind.
3.2 Battery status
The tension of the internal rechargeable battery amounts to 3.7 V. The state of
charge of the battery is displayed with different symbols so that you can
roughly estimate how long it will be possible to operate the player. During the
period of usage this display will slowly decrease.
full about half full almost empty empty
The charge symbol “empty” will be displayed when the battery is almost empty.
At this point in time you should charge the battery. The internal battery can be
loaded via the USB interface of the PC/USB-Hub or using a separate USB
power supply unit/battery recharger (refer to chapter 3.5).
