Saber Hand Wind Audio Player - User Guide
2.4.2 Every Time: Ensure the batteries have charge
Turning the Saber on with minimal charge in the batteries can corrupt the files on the player. Unless
you are running from an external power source, or you are sure the batteries are already charged,
then it is important to follow these steps whenever you use the player:
1. Wind the handle for at least 1 minute
2. Turn on the player
3. Continue to wind the handle at least until the green light stops flashing
4. During playback, wind the handle regularly to maintain charge to the battery
2.4.3 Every Month: Fully charge the batteries
After three months without use, the batteries can reach a critically low charge and may be
permanently damaged. Where possible, use an external power source to completely charge the
player each month.
Fully charging the Saber from an external power source may take up to 4 hours. (Charging from the
Solar Panel takes longer). If the Saber batteries are nearly discharged, but the recharge takes less
than 1 hour, then the batteries will not be fully charged. In this case disconnect the external power
source, turn the Saber on and play it until the batteries are fully discharged, then reconnect the
external power source to charge the player again.
2.5 Power Saving Functions
2.5.1 Volume reduction
When the battery begins to lose charge, the volume of playback is automatically reduced. This
reduces the maximum load on the battery, and significantly extends the playback time before the
machine shuts down due to low power.
2.5.2 Auto shut down
When the battery power becomes too low to continue playing, the Saber will automatically turn
itself off.
When the player has been left on pause for 30 minutes it will turn itself off.
2.6 SD Memory Cards
SD memory cards up to 2GB in size can be used in the Saber's SD memory card slot.
When a SD card is inserted into the player, the onboard internal memory will be disconnected and
not able to be used for playing.
It is recommended that SD are only inserted and withdrawn when the player is turned off.
