Should I leave Zen plugged into the Power Adapter?
No, you should not. After charging the battery or using Zen, disconnect it from the Power
Adapter. Leaving it plugged in leads to heat buildup, which is not good for Zen or its
battery.

The software applications on your player’s Installation and Applications CD may have
higher requirements for basic functionality. Refer to each application’s documentation
