Using the USB Cable
- Make sure your player is connected to your computer's USB port with the supplied USB cable. Connect to a computer USB port only; avoid connecting to a USB hub.
When the battery is charging, the battery charging icon 
flashes on the OLED display.
Disconnect your player from your computer when the battery is fully charged and you see 
on your player's OLED display. It takes approximately six hours to charge your player fully.
When charging the battery:
- Avoid transferring files between your player and computer as this may lengthen the charging time.
For continuous charging:
- Make sure your computer does not enter power conservation mode, for example, Standby or Hibernation. For more information, refer to your operating system's Help.
Warning!
- For Windows 98 SE only: DO NOT charge your player's battery via the USB cable until after you have installed the software.
Note
- The amount of playback time available depends on various factors, such as the type of earphones you are using. For more information, see Usage.
