Getting ready
Charging the built-in battery
When the AC adapter is connected to the gigabeat, charging starts automatically.
If you are using the gigabeat for the first time, or when the gigabeat hasn’t been
used for prolonged period, fully charge the battery before using.
One charging method is to connect the AC adapter directly to the gigabeat, another
method is to use the USB CRADLE. Note that a USB connection with the PC will
also permit charging.
Preparation
Set the BATTERY switch on the bottom of the main unit to ON.
The BATTERY switch is turned OFF to prevent
over discharge when using for the first time.
/Note
-Turn OFF the BATTERY switch when the gigabeat will not be used for a long
period of time. Doing so prevents over discharge of the internal battery.
-Setting the BATTERY switch to OFF will reset the date and time.
