e-audio MP3 player quick user guide

Richmond Libraries provide the e-audio service by downloading digital audiobooks onto Creative Zen Nano Plus MP3 players and loaning the players to library users. These devices can take up to 512MB of audio files.

The MP3 player has a number of functions not used in the delivery of our e-audio service. The instructions below are a brief summary of what is required to listen to and enjoy eAudiobooks which have been preloaded by library staff.

Changing the (AAA) battery

Slide the cover to remove it – please be gentle.The batteries we supply are rechargeable, please return them. One of the disadvantages of rechargeable batteries is that they can run out rather fast. You may prefer to use your own non-rechargeable battery.

Some tips on using the player

  • The Play/Pause button (1) may be the only one you need to use. Press and hold it for 3 seconds to turn the player on and to start the eAudiobook.Press and hold it for 3 seconds to turn the player off.
  • When you turn it off, the player should remember your position in the eAudiobook and resume from that position.
  • Take care! Try to change the battery before it goes completely flat. If not, the player will resume from the position where it was previously turned off.
  • Try to avoid using the Scroller (5). If you must fast forward or rewind, turn it to the side and hold it. If you just click it, it will return to the start of the eAudiobook or enter the player’s configuration menu.
  • If you do find yourself in the configuration menu or the eAudiobook won’t play, turning the player off and on again normally resolves the problem.
