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. ❖ Charging times vary depending on factors such as the status of the internal battery and the ambient temperature. ❖ The internal battery should be charged within the temperature range for normal use (5°C to 35°C/ 41°F to 95°F). If the temperature is outside this range, the gigabeat® may not be charged properly. ❖ As the remaining battery power drops, the battery level display on the gigabeat® screen changes as shown below. Recharge the gigabeat® when the remaining battery power becomes low.
