The player will be labeled "RCA MP3". It will appear as a drive letter on your computer and behave as a detachable drive for file transfer.

The player is capable of transferring files using USB 2.0. If a USB 2.0 port is available on your computer, use it to connect to your player. The player is still backward compatible with the older USB 1.1 ports; however, you will not be able to take full advantage of the potential speed increase.

The battery should be fully charged before using your device for the first time. Use the supplied USB connector cable to connect it to your computer or other USB power source. It should be charged for at least 4 hours before using for the first time.
