The continuous playback time is a reference value but is not

guaranteed, since the actual playback time will vary depend-

ing on the operating condition, ambient operating tempera-

ture, the number of times the built-battery has been

recharged, etc.

Even under allowable operating conditions, using the giga-

beat at low temperature will result in a reduction of the maxi-

mum continuous playback time.

Playback with the Harmonics on, WAV audio data, and WMA

9 Lossless use more battery power for playback than MP3

and WMA. Continuous playback time will be reduced

accordingly.

*1: 1 Gigabyte(GB) means 10 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. The operating

system of the gigabeat and certain computer operating systems, however, calculate

storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB =2 = 1,073,741,824

bytes and therefore show less storage capacity. Available storage capacity is also less

as the gigabeat includes a pre-installed operating system, pre-installed software

applications, and/or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.

*2: These values are for reference purposes only and may vary.

*3: It is necessary to operate the USB2.0 interface with the USB2.0 interface preinstalled

or extended PC. It operates as USB1.1 when connecting it with the USB1.1 interface.

*4: The color LCD is made with extremely high-precision technology. There may be the

existence of display (pixels) that might not light or might be lit all the time; however,

please note that this does not constitute malfunction of the product and is not covered

by your warranty.
