USB / Power Port
The USB/power port is located on the upper left of your device. With a
flash memory card installed, you can manage the contents of the card by
connecting your device to a computer with a USB cable.
To connect your device to your computer, locate the USB cable that came
in the box with your device and insert the USB plug—with the
icon on the
underside—into your device’s USB port.
While your device is connected to your computer via the USB port, the
memory card contents are not available for playing music or viewing photos
or videos from your device.
The memory card will appear as a drive on your computer, and you will be
able to add or remove music, video, or image files using your computer’s
file system. Remember that you cannot transfer files unless you have first
installed a memory card. For instructions on installing, read “Memory Card
Slot” on page 21.
To avoid the possiblity of corrupting the file system on the memory card,
follow your computer’s instructions on removing external hardware to
safely remove the device from the computer.
It’s a good idea to periodically back up your memory card onto your
computer or removable media, to avoid possible loss of valuable photos,
music, and videos.
