More Information  
The player does not work after  
reformat.  
EN  
Note:  
In case you need to reformat the  
player, it must be in FAT or FAT32  
format. The player does not work in  
NTFS format.  
For better result, we  
recommend a constant  
encoded bit rate from 32 to 320kbps  
for mp3 and 48kbps to 192kbps for  
Windows Media Audio.  
Nevertheless, your unit can play  
tracks encoded in variable bit rate  
(VBR).  
My computer does not boot-up if  
the player is connected prior to  
turning on the PC.  
In order to improve the performance  
of your portable music player and  
allow a faster download experience,  
the storage in your device has been  
formatted using a larger sector size.  
The BIOS in some older computers  
does not support this larger sector  
size, which causes it not to recognize  
the device when the PC is booting-up.  
To correct this, simply disable the  
"boot from USB" option in your  
computer BIOS or wait until your  
computer has completed its boot-up  
sequence before connecting your  
portable music player.  
Note:  
This unit may temporarily  
cease to function if subjected  
to electrostatic disturbance. To  
resume to normal functioning, you may  
use a pin to activate the reset button.
