2INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

If you are using Windows Me/XP/2000 or Mac OS X 10.2.0, there is no need to install a driver. Just connect the player to your PC. Automatically, the player will be detected, and a general driver will be installed. The player's built-in flash memory will appear as a removable disk in "My Computer". After it is finished, you can upload, download, and manage the files in the player. Note: You do need to install the driver included in the bundled CD-ROM if you want to upgrade the player's firmware. In case you are using Windows 98 or 98SE, you need to install the driver included in the bundled CD. Otherwise, you will not be able to upload, download, and manage the files in the player because Windows 98 has not integrated general drivers for USB MP3 players.

		Please note:

	Attach Carrying Strap
	There are two holes next to the earphone socket on the rear part of the player.
	Thread the thin end part of the carrying strap from outside through the first
	hole, and then from the inside through the second hole back to outside.
	Since, unfortunately, it takes quite an effort to do so, we suggest to use an
	auxiliary needle.
	Now, pull the whole carrying strap through the loop.
	Connect Earphones
	Firmly plug the earphones into the appropriate socket on the rear part
	of the player.
	Important! – Disconnect the earphones from the player before
	connecting USB.

Just use the "Copy", "Paste", "Delete" etc. commands of your Operation System such as Windows or Macintosh OS X. It is a fast and easy method, with not more than a mouse click.

(If you want to choose more than one music file, press and hold the Ctrl or Shift key when clicking.)

Also to keep up lucidity, you should avoid putting all the MP3/WMAs into the main directory. Instead, the files should be distributed among a variety of folders.

Music files downloaded from sites like Musicload, MSN Music and other download services must be directly copied to the player by MS™ Windows MediaPlayer®. Otherwise, you would lose the acquired property right. For example, in the MediaPlayer® 9 the function is called "Copy to CD or mobile device", in MediaPlayer® 10 "Synchronize".

For further advice please refer to the "Help" section of the MediaPlayer.

Even for audio CDs ripped with the MediaPlayer the property rights might already be spoken for. Therefore, in this case, the respective tracks can be further transferred to mobile devices with the MediaPlayer only, not with the Windows Explorer.
