Safety Instructions
1. Read the safety instructions carefully before using your Sansa.
2. Read this entire manual to ensure proper usage.
3. Keep this User Guide for future reference.
4. Do not use HeadPhones/Earphones while driving, cycling, or opera-
ting any motorized vehicle. This may create a traffic hazard and may be
illegal in some areas. It can also be dangerous to play your music with
Headphones/Earphones at high volume while walking, or engaged
in other activities. You should exercise extreme caution and discontinue
use in potentially hazardous situations.
5. Avoid using Headphones/Earphones at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous loud and extended music play. Keep the
volume at a moderate level, so that you are better able to hear outside
sound, and to be considerate of the people around you.
6. Keep your player away from sinks, drinks, bathtubs, showers, rain, and
other sources of moisture. Moisture can cause electric shocks with any
electronic device.
7. Follow these tips to keep your player working well for a long time:
Clean your player with a soft lint-free cloth used on glass lenses.
Do not allow young children to use your player unsupervised.
Never force any connector into the ports of your player or your

Tips, FAQ, and Troubleshooting
This chapter provides answers to common questions you may have.
Question: How do I copy files to the Sansa MP3 Player?
Answer: Copy files to the Sansa c100, in MSC mode, is just like copying
files to a Hard Drive.
Question: What file formats does the Sansa c100 support?
Answer: The Sansa MP3 Player will support MP3, WMA, secure WMA.
Any other formats need to be converted to these formats prior to transferring
to your Sansa c100.
Question: What is MTP?
Answer: Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is a new protocol and accompa-
nying set of drivers developed by Microsoft to connect portable devices to
a Windows XP PC and synchronize digital media content between those
devices and the PC.
Question: Some of my music files are on my player, but cannot be played.
When I select them, another song begins to play. What is wrong?
Answer: You may not have purchased the rights to play the song on an
additional device. To test this, try to play a song that you have copied from
an older CD and converted to MP3 format. If you can play that song,
but not the song that will not play, then you need to purchase the rights to
play the song.
Question: Why should I update the firmware?
Answer: You should always update the player to the latest firmware to
ensure that it functions correctly and has all the latest features.
Question: How can I use non-supported file types with my mp3 player?
Answer: First you must convert the songs to a supported format. Then you
can transfer the songs to the player as normal, either by copying and
pasting, or transferring.

Question: In MTP mode, how do I drag files to the player?
Answer: As long as the files are wma or mp3, they can be dragged into the
Media folder. Otherwise, they can be dragged into the Data folder (these files
will not appear on the player). An alternative is to switch the player to MSC
mode, then the files can be dragged/copied to the root directory.
Question: Is the player compatible with podcasts?
Answer: As long as the podcasts are in mp3 format and an appropriate bit
rate (32-320 kbps), then the player should be capable of playing the files.
Question: Why does my player say unknown artist/album?
Answer: Normally this is because the ID3 tags are missing information.
On the computer, right-click the song and choose Properties, then the
Summary tab and click Advanced. Then you can input the data such as
Artist, Album, Song Title, Track Number, Genre, and Year.
