2. The player will then show the “connecting sign” as seen below:
3. The internal (Flash) memory will now show up as a removable hard drive on you computer.
4. Any SD card plugged into the digital audio player will show up as an additional removable hard drive on you computer.
5. Copy, move, rename, delete files, etc. on these drives as you would on your computer. When you unplug the USB
cable the changes will have taken effect.
6. Notes & Warnings:
a. Warning: When downloading or transmitting files to or from the player, do not disconnect the connector to
prevent damage to the player or PC.
b. If you are using Windows 98 you may need to install drivers first before the system will recognize the player.
c. Before using a new (unformatted) SD card with the digital audio player/recorder, please format the card first.
d. If the flash or SD card are not formatted or get corrupted somehow, you may format them by clicking on
“My Computer” and then right clicking on the drive and clicking “Format.” Note that all data on the drive will
be deleted and become unrecoverable. Don’t disconnect during the format process or it could completely

Troubleshooting
• Why won’t some files be recognized by the digital audio player? Some MP3 or WMA files won’t play.
• This digital audio player supports most standard bitrate and file settings, but due to the large number of
compression types, and with new types being added all the time, not all files are recognized. Try to convert
any files that don’t play into a standard bitrate (128kbps, 196kbps, etc.) mp3 or wma file without special
settings in the encoder. Then upload the new file to the digital audio player and try again.
• The track’s playback time is not correct. Why?
• VBR format MP3 files may not display the proper track time. Try a fixed bitrate filetype if an accurate
track time is needed.
