A1 How to install my KEY Ring Audio player ?
All the Philips KEY Ring Audio players support USB Mass Storage Class. On your first connecting the
player with PC running on WindowsME/2000 or XP via the USB connector, an application will
launch and the unit will be recognized as a USB Mass Storage Class device & listed as "removable
drive" in Windows Explorer automatically, therefore no separate installation of driver is required.
For PC running on Windows98, separate driver has to be installed BEFORE hooking up the player
with PC. The driver may be installed by going through steps below: -
1. Simply insert the installation CD into the CD ROM drive.
2. On the installation menu, after your finish reading of the quick start guide, click NEXT to move
to the next screen then select product.
3. An application will run automatically checking whether a driver have been previously installed on
the PC, if not then installation of driver start automatically. (If the application did not launch
automatically, try open and close the CD tray to initiate the application).
4. Once the driver is installed, you may hook up the unit to your PC for downloading of music files
via Windows Explorer.
