Using the Music Controls
Your player has two modes of operation: Play Music and Recorder. To play your music files,
you need to be in Play Music mode. Follow these steps:
1. Press the Power/Menu Button once. The SanDisk logo and Sansa logo will briefly
appear onscreen then disappear. (Can’t find the Power/Menu Button on your
player? See The Basic Controls section on page 3.)
WARNING: If the onscreen message says "Locked" and then shuts off, locate
the Hold Button on the left side of your player. Slide that button left to unlock
your device. Then repeat Step 1 above. See The Basic Controls section on
page 3 if you cannot find the Hold Button.
2. If you do not see music files onscreen, briefly press the Power/Menu Button on
the right side of your player. The software Menu will appear. Press the
Repeat/AB/Down Button or the Play/Pause/Up Button to scroll through the Menu.
Highlight Play Music mode and press the Select Button to enter.
When you are in Play Music mode, the screen shown in Figure 3 will appear on your player.
