(Sample Illustration) Connecting the gigabeat to the computer using the USB cable
When you connect the gigabeat to the computer, "USB Connected"
and the charging status icon will appear on the gigabeat screen. The
charging status icon will turn green when charging is completed.
Charging through the USB connection is dependent on the performance of the
computer's USB bus power supply function. For this reason, some computers may not
be able to charge the gigabeat. When you establish a USB connection with a computer
that does not support charging, the connection may drop out quickly so that the
computer's USB functions are temporarily unavailable. If this happens, disconnect the
gigabeat and restart the computer.
It takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge the gigabeat.
The first time you establish the MTP connection, a screen appears in which you select
the operation to be performed when the gigabeat is connected to the computer. Unless
you want to transfer music right away, simply click Cancel. For information on
transferring music, see "Transferring Music Files to the gigabeat" on page 12.
