ESP, POWER SAVE MODE
With a conventional portable CD player, you might have experienced that music
stopped (e.g. when you were jogging). The Electronic Skip Protection prevents
playback interruption caused by light vibrations and shocks. Continuous playback
is ensured. However, ESP does not prevent playback interruptions during vigorous
running. It also does not protect the unit against any damage caused by
dropping!
The power save mode helps to extend battery service
life for longer playback.
• Press ESP once or twice during playback.
➜ ESPappears when shock protection is activated
• To deactivate the shock protection and enter the
power save mode, press ESP again.
