Default Re: I finally got my Chipod! First impressions.

Yeah, I was also worried about the battery (that's why I haven't given the seller any feedback yet, even though I checked out the memory). It didn't seem to be charging much when I had it hooked up to the computer to transfer files and stuff, so I used the charger overnight. But I heard about people's batteries and keyboards melting after using their charger! I was also unsure how long you can safely leave it in the charger. The following morning the battery hadn't melted, and the player did finally show a FULL battery in the screen indicator (didn't take long before it became a half battery again).

The charger's indicator light is always RED though, (with the green faintly on). So I have no idea how long it takes to do its job, and whether you need to remove the charger after a certain time, or even how long the battery lasts til its dead. I am planning on buying a good battery for the player though (good as I can get that will be able to fit), and replacing the standard one, cos I'm sure its crap.

Some more gems from my manual, for those waiting in line:

4.2.10: "Reply to read the mode. At 4.2.8 reply to read that the interface interface hases already do to elaborate on."

I would ask them to "elaborate" on that, but I'm afraid of the reply I get. It might look like this:

4.2.11.1: "The choice replies to read the number of times, completing while reply read thus this in reply read that the number of times future reunion withdraws automatically. Distinguish for 1-10 times."

?? If anyone can figure that out, I think the CIA could use your talents.

I too rolled hilariously on the floor when reading the manual for my player, also a 9.0.48 FW model :roll:
Cant wait to have the tools to trick up my interface, it really needs an update Let us know how you go with charging the unit first up. I and many others have had issues with charging the battery for the first instance, I have found though, let it charge for at least a day and then dicharge it and so on etc etc. Mine took a couple of recharges to get the battery up to a standard of the supplied 180mAh capacity of it.
