Step 2: Charge the Battery

  1. If you have not done so, connect your player to your computer's USB port with the supplied USB cable.


    Your player's battery charges automatically when you connect your player to your computer's USB port. The battery is fully charged in approximately three hours. If the battery is totally depleted, fully charging it might take up to six hours. When the battery is charging, the battery charging icon and external power icon flashes alternately on the display. The battery is fully charged when you see only the external power icon on your player's display.
Notes
  • Playback time: A fully charged battery lasts for approximately 20 hours with audio output enabled through speakers, and 30 hours with audio output enabled through headphones. However, the amount of playback time available depends on various factors, such as the type of earphones you are using. For more information, see Usage.
  • Power conservation mode: For continuous battery charging using the USB port, make sure your computer is not in power conservation mode. For more information on power conservation modes, refer to your operating system's Help.
  • Display: Depending on the initial charge in your player's battery, your player's display may not turn on when you charge your player's battery. Your player is charging as long as the area around the joystick is glowing. It may take up to one hour of charging to turn on your player's display. If your fully charged player remains connected to your computer or a power outlet for a prolonged period, the display turns off automatically to conserve power.
  • Charging: Connect to a computer USB port only; avoid connecting to a USB hub. For battery charging without using your computer, purchase a power adapter and connect it to the USB connector. For more information on the power adapter and other Creative accessories, visit www.creative.com.
