• FM Radio Antenna: Always remember to plug in wired headphones when using the FM radio function, as they act as the antenna.
• Battery Maintenance: If you plan not to use the MP3 player for an extended period, charge its battery at least once every two months to prevent deep discharge and prolong its overall lifespan.
