TROUBLE SHOOTING Why can’t some MP3 files be played? MP3 Standard only includes: the songs in layer 3 of MPEG1, layer 3 of MPEG2 and layer 3 of MPEG2.5. Otherwise, songs won’t be played in the player except they are transformed by the corresponding software. Why doesn’t the memory size displayed under the operation system match the figure on the tab? The software in the MP3 player takes up a small portion of the memory, which coincides with the corresponding standards.
What if after a long non-use period the player cannot be turned on? To enlarge the life of the built-in battery, when the battery level is too low or in some abnormal situation (shut off), the lithium battery will be protected, so it cannot be turned on. You need to connect the MP3 player to a computer or the charger. It can be used after recharging. The player plays music but does not respond to any key? LOCK is in LOCK position. Push LOCK key in the opposite direction of arrowhead.
