Music Mode Practice Run

Start at your computer. You should already have some MP3 or Ogg Vor-
bis music files available. If you need help ripping your CDs to these for-
mats, consult the documentation for the CD ripper software.
1. Connect the iWAY to your computer using the USB transfer cable as
described in Sec. 1.

2. Select a few of your favorite songs and copy them onto the iWAY's
music drive. For now, copy only a few songs and place them directly in
the music drive. (Later, you might prefer to set up subfolders in the
music drive and organize your music by artist, album or genre.)

3. Once the songs are copied, disconnect the iWAY from your computer.
Again, carefully follow the instructions for this process found in Sec. 1.

Now move the iWAY to your car. Connect it to your car's power and ste-
reo as described in Sec. 1, beginning on page 3.
4. To turn on the unit, press and release the

POWER

key.

5. The opening screen displays either a map of North America or the
music player. If the Map Mode opens up, press the

MAP/MUSIC

key to

switch to Music Mode.

6. Touch the screen inside the Now Playing box (at the top of the
screen) to see a list of the songs available on your iWAY. These should
match the songs you just copied there. Using the touch screen, choose
one from the list.

7. The song will begin playing. If you've attached the iWAY to your car's
stereo, the music should be playing through it. You can use the Browse
Music Files screen (activated by touching inside the Now Playing box)
to choose another song, if you want. If you'd prefer to play several
songs, move on to step 8.

8. Cancel the song currently playing by pressing

. To have iWAY

create a play list of all of the songs in the music folder, simply press the

button with no song selected. The iWAY will begin playing the

first song in its music directory.

the Music Menu. Now press

10. Listen to your favorite music. Now you can return to your computer
and add more songs or play lists to your iWAY.

11. To turn off the unit, press and hold

key for three seconds.
