Description of the key operation<br />
You can operate the key in three ways: short pressing, long pressing and<br />
keeping pressed. In the further progress of the manual we always talk about<br />
short pressing if there is no further explanation.<br />
Short pressing: The effect occurs after a short pressure on the key.<br />
Long pressing: The effect occurs when you press the key and keep it pressed for<br />
1 … 2 seconds.<br />
Keeping pressed: The effect occurs when you press the key until you release it in<br />
certain intervals repeatedly, e.g. fast forward or highspeed rewind.<br />
3.2 Battery status<br />
The tension of the internal rechargeable battery amounts to 3.7 V. The state of<br />
charge of the battery is displayed with different symbols so that you can<br />
roughly estimate how long it will be possible to operate the player. During the<br />
period of usage this display will slowly decrease.<br />
full about half full almost empty empty<br />
The charge symbol “empty” will be displayed when the battery is almost empty.<br />
At this point in time you should charge the battery. The internal battery can be<br />
loaded via the USB interface of the PC/USB-Hub or using a separate USB<br />
power supply unit/battery recharger (refer to chapter 3.5).<br />
The separate USB power supply unit/battery recharger can be ordered on our<br />
web site www.odys.de.<br />

Please fully charge the battery before the first use. The charging of<br />
an empty battery will take about 3 - 4 hours. For the first two<br />
charging cycles you should charge the battery during about<br />
8 hours.<br />
Please note that you cannot operate the player during charging.<br />
3.3 Driver installation<br />
• Switch on the main switch of the player (Position ON).<br />
• Connect the <strong>MP3</strong> <strong>Player</strong> to your PC by the USB cable which is included<br />
in the delivery.<br />
• The driver installation will be started. Under Windows ME, 2000 and XP<br />
the PC will recognize a new hardware device (Mass storage device) and<br />
will install the corresponding driver automatically.<br />
• If errors occur during the installation remove the USB cable, restart the<br />
operating system and connect the USB cable once again to your PC.<br />
Under Windows 98 and 98SE you first need to install the<br />
corresponding driver from the CD-ROM before connecting the<br />

3.4 Charging the battery via the USB connector<br />
You can charge the internal, rechargeable battery via the USB connector<br />
of your PC via a USB-Hub with proper power supply or with a separate<br />
USB power supply unit/battery charger. Before charging the accumulator<br />
of the player for the first time please use the existing accumulator energy.<br />
Then fully load the accumulator. Only this way the full accumulator<br />
capacity is being achieved.<br />
• Switch on the main switch of the player (Position ON).
<strong>ODYS</strong> <strong>MP3</strong> <strong>Player</strong> <strong>X36</strong><br />

• The charging procedure will start automatically. Have the accumulators<br />
always completely charged (refer to the battery symbol in the screen).<br />
• During charging the keys of the player are inoperative.<br />
The battery lifetime of the player highly depends on the set<br />
volume. When the volume is high the battery runtime will be<br />
reduced accordingly. Depending on the replayed type of file<br />
and the number of key actuations the lifetime of the battery<br />
will also change.<br />
Use the energy saving functions to automatically switch off<br />
the screen and the player (Chapter 4.9).<br />

8 Warranty conditions EN<br />
The following conditions comprise the requirements and scope of our warranty conditions and do not<br />
affect our legal and contractual warranty obligations.<br />
We offer a warranty on our products in accordance with the following<br />
conditions:<br />
1. Odys products are covered by a 24 month warranty. We will resolve damages or defects on<br />
Odys products free of charge within 12 months of the purchase date under the following<br />
warranty conditions. For any damage or defect determined later than 12 months after the<br />
purchase date, proof of a manufacturing fault must be submitted for repair under warranty.<br />
The warranty does not cover batteries and other parts, which are considered consumables,<br />
parts that break easily such as glass or plastic or defects based on normal wear and tear.<br />
There is no warranty obligation in the event of marginal differences compared to the target<br />
appearance and workmanship provided these have a negligible effect on the product's<br />
fitness for use, in the event of damage caused by chemical or electrochemical effects, by<br />
water or generally from abnormal conditions.<br />
2. The warranty will be performed in such a way that we shall decide whether to repair the<br />
defective parts or to replace them with working parts free of charge. AXDIA reserves the<br />
right to exchange the product for a replacement product of equal value if the product that is<br />
sent in cannot be repaired within a reasonable time or at reasonable cost. The product can<br />
also be exchanged for a different model of the same value. Requests cannot be made for<br />
repairs to be carried out on site. Parts that have been replaced or exchanged become our<br />
property.<br />
3. The warranty claim does not apply if repairs or other work is carried out by unauthorized<br />
persons or if our products are equipped with additional parts or accessories that are not<br />
approved for our products.<br />
4. Warranties that have been activated do not cause the warranty period to be extended, nor<br />
do they trigger a new warranty period. The warranty period for any replacement parts<br />
installed ends with the warranty period for the entire product.<br />
5. Any other or further claims are excluded, especially those for replacement due to damage<br />
caused outside of the product, provided there is no obligatory legal liability. We therefore<br />
accept no liability for accidental, indirect or other consequential damage of any kind, which<br />
leads to usage restrictions, data loss, loss of earnings or interruption to business.<br />
Asserting a warranty claim<br />
1. To make use of the warranty service, you must contact the AXDIA Service Center by e-mail, fax or phone (see<br />
