• Press the large Play Button located on the top of the device. The audio will play once.

Downloading and Deleting Audio Files (Via Computer)

The device has 16MB of built-in memory, allowing you to store multiple MP3 audio files. You can manage these files by connecting to a computer:

1. Connect the device to your computer as described in the "Connecting to a Computer" section.
2. Once recognized as a removable drive, open the drive.
3. You can copy desired MP3 audio files to the recorder. Ensure the total size of all files does not exceed 16MB.
4. To delete built-in or previously downloaded audio, simply delete the files from the device's storage drive on your computer.
5. Note: Audio files must be in MP3 format. The file name is not required to be specific.
6. Important: The CONFIG.TXT file located in the device's root directory should be kept. This file is used to set the volume and playback mode. Do not delete or modify it unless you understand its function.

Maintenance

Battery Life and Standby

• A fully charged battery provides approximately 90 minutes of continuous playback. For example, a 1-minute stored music file can be played about 90 times.
• In a non-working state, the device has a standby time of approximately 120 days. After this period, it will require recharging.

General Care

• Keep the device dry and away from extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the device to strong impacts.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.

Troubleshooting

• Recording Overwrites Previous Audio: This is normal operation for on-device recording. The device is designed to store only one recorded segment at a time, and each new recording will replace the previous one.
• Device Not Recognized by Computer: Ensure the device's switch is in the ON position after connecting the Micro USB cable to the computer. If the issue persists, try a different USB port or cable.
• No Sound During Playback: Check if the device is charged. Ensure the volume setting in the CONFIG.TXT file (if modified) is not set to zero.
• Cannot Delete Built-in Music: Ensure the device is properly connected to the computer and recognized as a removable drive. The switch must be in the ON position. Delete the files directly from the device's drive on your computer.
