Disconnecting the unit
Right-click the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon on the computer’s
taskbar.
The “USB Mass Storage Device” window appears on the computer
screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to disconnect the USB cable.

the data cannot be deleted, initiate resetting ( page 38).
Once resetting has been initiated, all the stored data will be lost. Re-
record the music data on the unit.
