You can charge your player using the USB port on your 
computer using the included micro-USB cable.  You can 
also use any micro-USB charger rated to 5V DC output (not 
included).  When connected properly to the computer for 
charging or transferring data, an icon which looks like USB 
cable will appear on the screen of the device, with the word 
“Connected”.  If this icon does not appear in 3-5 seconds, 
then the USB connection has not been made successfully. 
 
 
 Quick Tips: 
1.  If the device does not charge, ensure that your cable is fully inserted firmly into 
both the device port and the USB port.   
2.  Some low-power USB ports may not provide enough power to charge the Sansa 
Fuze+ MP3 player.  If you are still having problems, use a different USB port. 
3.  The battery can also be charged using an AC-to-DC 5 Volt (or lower rated) 
adapter (not included) or a 5 Volt car adapter (not included), which are available 
at most consumer electronics stores.  When charging using an AC-to-DC adaptor, 
it will be possible to listen to the device while charging, unlike charging while 
connected to the computer. 
3.1.2.  Removing the player from your computer 
Windows® – Simply disconnect the micro-USB cable from the player after you have 
finished charging, transferring, firmware upgrading, or synchronizing files. 
 
Mac® – Eject the “removable disk” appearing on your screen by dragging the icon to the 
Trash, and then disconnect the micro-USB cable. 
 
 Caution! 
Do not disconnect the player while it’s transferring data. Disconnecting the player from the 
computer while data are being transferred may cause a loss of data or possible damage to 
the player.
