Precautions Concerning the Built-in Hard Disk
-Do not format the built-in hard disk. If the disk were to be formatted, the firmware
(which is the software that gigabeat uses to operate) would be deleted and the
product would no longer be able to function. If you need to reformat the hard disk,
be sure to use the supplied “gigabeat format” not to delete system data stored in the
hard disk.
#
-If the hard disk has been formatted, restoration of the firmware will be necessary.
#
-The internal hard disk contains firmware data and demo files for the gigabeat. The
disk area that can actually be used is the area except for these files.
Precautions Concerning Data Deletion at Time of Disposal or Transfer
-When the gigabeat is disposed of or sold with the hard disk in an as-used condition,
information on the hard disk may be viewed by a third party. When disposing of or
reselling the gigabeat, please delete all of the data on the hard disk.
Built-in Battery
-The built-in battery will gradually discharge, even when the product is not being
used. If the product is not used for a prolonged period, the built-in battery may
discharge completely. If this should happen, recharge the battery before using the
product.
-The recharging time will vary depending on the condition of the built-in battery,
ambient temperature, etc.
-Using the product at low temperatures will shorten the continuous playback time.
-The built-in battery can be recharged approximately 500 times. (This number is an
estimate and is for reference purposes only.)
-The built-in battery is a consumable part. Repeated use will gradually decrease the
operating time. If the battery is consumed quickly after a full charge, the built-in
battery may have failed. Please contact TOSHIBA Customer Service by calling
(Phone # on “STOP SHEET”).
TOSHIBA shall not be liable whatsoever for any corruption or loss of
stored data due to the complete discharge of the built-in battery.

Getting ready
Charging the built-in battery
When the AC adapter is connected to the gigabeat, charging starts automatically.
If you are using the gigabeat for the first time, or when the gigabeat hasn’t been
used for prolonged period, fully charge the battery before using.
One charging method is to connect the AC adapter directly to the gigabeat, another
method is to use the USB CRADLE. Note that a USB connection with the PC will
also permit charging.
Preparation
Set the BATTERY switch on the bottom of the main unit to ON.
The BATTERY switch is turned OFF to prevent
over discharge when using for the first time.
Note
/
-Turn OFF the BATTERY switch when the gigabeat will not be used for a long
period of time. Doing so prevents over discharge of the internal battery.
-Setting the BATTERY switch to OFF will reset the date and time.
