Frequently Asked Questions 55
I have to recharge Zen’s battery quite often. Is there anything I can do to
make it last longer?
Generally, any operation requiring Zen to access the hard disk uses battery power.
Consequently, filling your player to capacity is not recommended. However, some
operations consume more battery power:
■ a long backlight timeout setting. A shorter timeout conserves battery power.
■ a high contrast setting. Position the player so that you can read the display without using a high
contrast setting.
■ fast-forwarding or rewinding.
■ turning the player on and off too many times.
■ prolonged use at high volumes.
