Answer
• You can play MP3 and WMA files.
• Yes. You can play MP3 and WMA audio content. They can be mixed together.
• WMA files are generally half as large as comparable sounding MP3 files. Because
WMA uses smaller file sizes, you can store more music in less space on the Rio
Fuse. The WMA format is exclusive to Windows-based computers.
• Yes. Because there are many standards for VBR files, it cannot be guaranteed
that every encoding software package will properly function with the Rio Fuse.
VBR files that do not comply to standards may lack track time, fast forward, and/
or rewind capabilities.
• The Rio Fuse can use either alkaline and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
• The battery indicator on the Rio Fuse is located in the top-right corner of the
display. The segments in the battery icon show the remaining battery power. The
illumination of all segments indicates a fully charged battery. Non-illuminated
segments indicate a run down battery. The battery indicator blinks when less
than 20% of the charge on the battery remains.
• Because the Rio Fuse uses no moving parts it will never skip or stutter during
audio playback.
• The Rio Fuse will not power on if LOCK/UNLOCK is in the lock position. Confirm
the LOCK/UNLOCK switch on the Rio Fuse is not in the lock position and press
POWER to turn the Rio Fuse on.
