Do I need to defragment the player’s hard disk?

No, you will not need to defragment, format or clean up the hard disk at all. The player’s unique file system ensures that you will not have to worry about hard disk maintenance.

Can I jog with my NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra?

You should not subject your player to continuous shocks, such as those that are likely to occur while you jog or run. You can take a nice long walk with your player, though.

Can I use the NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra for portable data storage?

Yes, you can. However, the Jukebox is designed for storing and playing audio, not as an extra hard drive. You can use the USB cable for speedy transfers to and from your player. Your player will not be recognized as a drive. Use the NOMAD Explorer application to help you manage data files.

I have to recharge the battery quite often. Is there anything I can do to make it last longer?

Generally, any operation requiring the player to access the hard disk uses battery power. Consequently, filling your player to capacity is not recommended. However, some operations consume more battery power:

❍a long backlight timeout setting. A shorter timeout conserves battery power.

❍a high contrast setting. Position the player so that you can read the display without using a high contrast setting.

❍too much use of fast forward/reverse.

❍turning the player on/off too many times.

❍use of EAX effects or environments.
