ESP, POWER SAVE MODE
With a conventional portable CD player, you might have experienced that music stopped (e.g. when you were jogging). The Electronic Skip Protection prevents playback interruption caused by light vibrations and shocks. Continuous playback is ensured. However, ESP does not prevent playback interruptions during vigorous running. It also does not protect the unit against any damage caused by dropping!
The power save mode helps to extend battery service life for longer playback.
• Press ESP once or twice during playback.
➜ESPappears when shock protection is activated
• To deactivate the shock protection and enter the power save mode, press ESP again.
➜ ESP disappears.
