• ESP
1) ESP ON - enable ESP
2) ESP OFF - de-select ESP (You may switch off ESP when you play the
unit at a stable environment, e.g. connect to your audio system
through a line out cord for indoor use.)
(ESP = Electronic Shock Protection system prevents sound interrup-
tions when impacts or vibrations occur. It helps consuming less
power and increasing battery life. After many successive impacts, the
buffer might be emptied causing a brief sound interruption for the
memory to reload.)
