features of your new MP3 Player
Good looking. Smart. Reliable. And lots of fun. Your new MP3 player
is all this and more. Its compact silhouette takes up the tiniest space
in your pocket, and its state-of-the-art technology delivers rich
sound. You’ll love your new MP3 player, whether you’re exercising,
downloading your favorite tunes, or even listening to FM Radio.
Use it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE!
The MP3 player is an USB-integrated
product with no need for a USB cable, which
offers you fast data transfer and convenient
recharging.
FREEDOM OF MY FAVORITE SELECTION
WITH MP3 PLAYER!
You can edit your favorite music files in the
playlist.
EXPANSION AND COMPATIBILITY
With your new player, you’re not limited to
MP3 files. Your player supports MP3 and
WMA formats.

You can tap on the touch pad to navigate
through the menus.
LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER

(Digital Natural Sound engine), Samsung’s™
unique sound technology created to deliver
richer, deeper sound for an unbelievable

PROTECT YOURSELF
Using the earphone or headphone for an extended time can cause
serious damage to your hearing.
If you are exposed to sound louder than 85db for an extended time, you may
adversely affect your hearing. The louder the sound is, the more seriously damaged

noise is approximately 80db). You are strongly advised to set the volume level to
medium (the medium level is usually less than 2/3 of the maximum).
If you feel a ringing in the ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the
earphone or headphone.
