Troubleshooting (continued)
The battery charge indicator does not light even after
charging.
! Is the AC adaptor properly connected?
! Is temperature extremely high or low?
The unit does not play 12 hours although it is specified
in the operation manual.
! 12 hours of playback is based on MP3 files encoded at
a bit rate of 128 kbps. Power consumption is minimised
under this condition since the unit accesses the hard
disk only once every 28 minutes. Higher bit rate in-
creases the access and power consumption leading to
less playback time.
Voice recording is not possible.
! Is the unit connected with LINE IN socket.
! Is the unit in the hold mode?
In audio data information playback mode, I cannot find
a specific song which can be found under file browsing
mode.
Music recording is not possible.
! Is the audio cable well inserted into the LINE IN socket
of the unit?
! The SHARP Music Manager will build the audio data in-
formation database right after the audio data are trans-
ferred into the unit. If you stop transferring in before the
completion of file transferring, the SHARP Music Man-
ager won't build the audio data information database
which is required under audio data information play-
back mode. Please click "Update Music Info" icon to
recreate the database.
The battery runs out faster.
! The built-in battery is dead. You need to replace it (see
page 8).
The operation is unstable whilst the PC and the unit are
connected.
! Are you using the USB cable that was purchased sep-
arately?
Windows 98 Second Edition does not recognise the
unit as a portable hard drive.
SHARP Music Manager does not start.
! You cannot open two SHARP Music Manager or more
at the same time.
! Is the USB mass storage driver (on the setup CD-
ROM) installed?
