Precautions Concerning the Built-in Hard Disk

Do not format the built-in hard disk. If the disk were to be formatted, the firmware (which is the software that gigabeat uses to operate) would be deleted and the product would no longer be able to function. If the hard disk has been formatted, restoration of the firmware will be necessary. Restore the firmware according to “Restoration of Firmware Data” under “Troubleshooting” in the Owner’s Manual-“gigabeat room”.

The internal hard disk contains system files and demo files for the gigabeat. The disk area that can actually be used is the area except for these files.

Welcome

Precautions Concerning Data Deletion at Time of Disposal or Transfer

When the gigabeat is disposed of or sold with the hard disk in an as-used condition, information on the hard disk may be viewed by a third party. When disposing of or reselling the gigabeat, please delete all of the data on the hard disk.

Built-in Battery

The built-in battery will gradually discharge, even when the product is not being used. If the product is not used for a prolonged period, the built-in battery may discharge completely. If this should happen, recharge the battery before using the product.

The recharging time will vary depending on the condition of the built-in battery, ambient temperature, etc.

Using the product at low temperatures will shorten the continuous playback time.

The built-in battery can be recharged approximately 500 times. (This number is an estimate and is for reference purposes only.)

The built-in battery is a consumable part. Repeated use will gradually decrease the operating time. If the battery is consumed quickly after a full charge, the built-in battery may have failed. Please contact TOSHIBA Customer Service by calling (Phone # on “STOP SHEET”).

TOSHIBA shall not be liable whatsoever for any corruption or loss of stored data due to the complete discharge of the built-in battery.
