USB DEVICE INSTRUCTIONS
• When adding MP3 files to your flash drive, it is recommended
to set the bit rate to 128 kbps or more and "fixed."
• When adding WMA files to your flash drive, it is
recommended to set the bit rate to 64 kbps or more
and "fixed." Do not set the copy protect attribute on the
WMA file or you will not be able to play the track.
• Apache will read only FAT32 formatted flash drives.
This radio will NOT read NTFS formatted drives.
• Apache will read files placed in the root directory first before
playing files in the folder structure of the drive. Please note
that files are read in order of creation NOT alphabetically
or numerically. Older files will get read first in a folder.
Viewing MP3/WMA Song Information
When playing MP3/WMA files from the USB source, you can view the
track name, album, artist (ID-3) information automatically from these
files. Once the USB drive is inserted, the following information will
scroll across the screen in the following order:
(file name of song),
MP3 FILE
artist),
SONG
To access the clock when in USB mode, turn the left-rear knob (#2)
counter-clockwise. The clock will time out after a few seconds and will
revert to the ID-3 information. Turning the left-rear knob (#2) counter-
clockwise again will revert to viewing the ID-3 information on-screen.
NOTE: FLAC format does not support ID-3 information and will not display the artist or
song information. Not all music software handles ID-3 information the same way. Some
software will produce MP3 files with ID-3 information that is not readable by the radio
Motor. If this occurs, you may need to use a converter or ID-3 editor to change the ID-3
information for the artist, album and song information to display properly on your radio.
