Power on the SPIRIT and connect the SPIRIT to your PC using the USB cable provided. Launch Windows Explorer on the PC, and click on the “My Computer” folder. Windows will automatically recognise the SPIRIT as a removable storage device available to Windows. The SPIRIT will be allocated a drive letter (as with the existing storage devices on your PC) and will be listed among the other storage devices. You can treat this drive like any other system drive. Windows supports the full range of file handling functions including: drag and drop, copy, paste and delete. You can organize the drive space by creating folders and sub folders, as you require. For Win98 users, please install the device driver from the CD. Insert CD. DO NOT CONNECT THE DEVICE TO THE COMPUTER YET

Choose installation location and point to the Driver Folder on the CD-ROM Windows will install the software.

Connect device and reboot computer. ‘My Computer’ will assign a letter for the new drive.

1.6.1. WAV, MP3 and WMA formats

The SPIRIT supports WAV files, for low bit rate voice recording, by the device and two compressed music file formats: MP3 and WMA. The SPIRIT will play files in either file format automatically. MP3 and WMA extensions denote that these are compressed files. The WAV format typically denotes the extension on a CD or hard drive in UNCOMPRESSED format.

The SPIRIT is shipped with a few tracks loaded on the HDD. Your choice of format and compression standard will affect the quality of the music and the corresponding file size.

NOTE: WAV, MP3 and WMA are Music files.

1.6.2. Managing Music with Windows MediaTM Player

With Windows Media TM Player installed on your PC, you can either build a library of music files on your PC by “ripping” your audio CD collection or by transferring already encoded MP3 or WMA files from your PC directly. (If you do not have Windows Media TM Player installed on your PC, load the copy supplied with the SPIRIT CD. Follow the installation instructions, which will automatically be presented when the CD is installed in the drive.)

To load music from the PC, connect the SPIRIT to the PC using the USB cable provided. The USB socket is on the bottom edge of the SPIRIT. Select the Windows MediaTM Application on your PC and follow the Application instructions for the transfer of files.
