Built-in Battery
●The built-in battery will gradually discharge, even when the product is not being used. If
the product is not used for a prolonged period, the built-in battery may discharge completely.
If this should happen, recharge the battery before using the product.
●The recharging time will vary depending on the condition of the built-in battery, ambient
temperature, etc.
●Using the product at low temperatures will shorten the continuous playback time.
●The built-in battery can be recharged approximately 500 times. (This number is an estimate
and is for reference purposes only.)
●The built-in battery is a consumable part. Repeated use will gradually decrease the
operating time. If the battery is consumed quickly after a full charge, the built-in battery
may have failed. Replace the battery with a new one.
TOSHIBA shall not be liable whatsoever for any corruption or loss of
stored data due to the complete discharge of the built-in battery.
Precautions Concerning the Built-in Hard Disk
●Do not format the built-in hard disk. If the disk were to be formatted, the firmware (which
is the software that gigabeat uses to operate) would be deleted and the product would no
longer be able to function. If the hard disk has been formatted, restoration of the firmware
will be necessary. Restore the firmware according to “Restoration of Firmware Data”
under “Troubleshooting”in the Owner’s Manual-“gigabeat room”.
●The internal hard disk contains system files and demo files for the gigabeat. The disk
area that can actually be used is the area except for these files.
Precautions Concerning Data Deletion at Time of Disposal or Transfer
●When the gigabeat is disposed of or sold with the hard disk in an as-used condition,
information on the hard disk may be viewed by a third party. When disposing of or reselling
the gigabeat, please delete all of the data on the hard disk.
Note that only deleting the data and formatting the hard disk may allow the data to be
restored by a third party bearing malicious intent. If there is stored information that you
do not wish to have viewed by a third party, we recommend that the data be deleted
using commercially-available data deleting software so that it cannot be restored.
This mark only applies for Taiwan.
Please recycle used battery.

■Built-in hard disks of 60 GB* (MEGF60) and 20 GB* (MEGF20)
offer tracks storage of approximately 15,000 songs** and 5,000
songs**, respectively.
This is based on 4 minutes of track at 128 kbps in the MP3 or WMA format.
■Using a 480 Mbps high-speed communication USB 2.0
connection, the equivalent of one CD portion of tracks can be
transferred to the gigabeat in about 30** seconds.
