Troubleshooting - Philips EXP3373/05 User Manual

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.
ESP appears when shock protection is activated
• To deactivate the shock protection and enter the power
save mode, press ESP.
ESP disappears and Powersaving appears.
