Faq On The X1; Faq About Charging - Fiio X1 Complete User's Manual

G. FAQ on the X1
1) About charging
Q:What power sources may be used to charge the X1?
A:The X1 may be charged by any USB charger with 5V output voltage and 1A or greater output
current; in a pinch you can also charge it using a computer USB port, albeit slowly.
Q:What is the charging current of the X1 while charging?
A:About 460mA through a computer USB port or 860mA through a dedicated USB charger
(while unit is powered off).
Q:How long does it take to charge up the X1?
A:A full charge through a dedicated USB charger (DC 5V, 2A) takes about 3 hours.
Q:Can the X1 be charged by a portable USB charger?
A:Yes, as long as the charger is capable of 1A or greater current.
Q: Can the X1 play songs while charging?
A:Yes, but it is recommended to power off the X1 for charging, to prevent the charge from
taking too long and prevent the X1 from heating up too much.
Q: What to do if the X1 gets a hot when playing songs while charging?
A: It is normal for the X1 to get a bit hot in these conditions and this does not endanger the
X1 or the listener in any way. If you are worried about this, it is better to take off the silicon
case to expose the X1 to air for cooling down. If you're still worried, turn down the volume
on the X1 or turn off the player for charging.
Q:Can the X1 be connected to chargers via other micro USB cables?
A:Yes, but the micro USB cable that comes with the X1 is specially constructed with thick power
line conductors to minimize power loss while charging. Using other micro USB cables may lead
to slower charging; very poor quality USB cables may cause so much power loss through the
cable as to fail to charge the X1 altogether.
Q: What is the best way to charge X1?
A: By using a high quality, high speed USB charger rated for 5V and 1A or above, and the data
cable that comes with the X1. Power off the X1 to get the best charging effect.
Q:Why does the X1 charge so slowly or not at all through a front USB port on a desktop
computer?
A:The front USB ports on a desktop computer are connected to the motherboard through
long thin cables, which cause too much voltage drop when connected to high current draw
equipment like the X1.
