C. Crane Senta Ally - Manual (Page 3)

2 3
To ensure that your audio does not get interrupted if you accidentally press one of the command
buttons, the Senta Ally has a simple but useful way to prevent an accidental command;
a backlight timer (see page 18). When the backlight timer is engaged and no buttons are pressed for
10-60 seconds, the command buttons* will enter a standby mode.
To exit this stand-by mode, press any command button ONCE. This will cause the device to exit the
stand-by mode.
Now the Senta Ally command buttons will be active and ready to receive your commands.
*M / RW / Play/Pause / FF are the command buttons.
Before you Begin
1. Using the included USB charging cable, connect the mini USB end to the Senta-Ally.
2. Connect the other end (standard USB) to a
computer or another USB powering device (like
the Boxwave Versa Charger – sold separately).
3. Screen shows Main menu. Press and hold
Play/ Pause button for 2 seconds.
While charging, the battery icon will
display the charging status.
