How Long Should the Ematic MP3 Charge?
- Ematic MP3 players come in variety of shapes, sizes and features, so how long they should be charged will vary with different players. However, according to Ematic it can take up to four hours for a dead battery to fully charge. Low batteries can take up to two hours to fully charge.
- Ematic MP3 players can only be charged using a computer. Most are compatible with both Macs and PCs; however, they will require certain updates to work properly. Referring to the system requirements on the player's manual will tell you if your computer is compatible with the player or not. If the computer is compatible, turn on the player, and then connect it to the an open USB port using the USB cable. The computer must be turned on or the player won't charge. If you're using a laptop, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. When the "USB Connected" message appears on the screen, pressing the "Exit" button will automatically display a large icon with the message "Charging" below it.
- The Ematic MP3 player won't charge if the computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. In addition, you will experience connection problems if the USB cable is faulty, so use a different cable. If the connection problem persists, restarting your computer will also reboot the hardware and solve temporal USB port issues. Sometimes, too many USB devices can cause USB port overloads, so disconnecting additional devices and connecting the Ematic MP3 player alone will solve the charging problem.
- To improve your Ematic MP3 player's battery life, turn it off when you're not using it. Enabling the "Power Off Time" feature from the "System Settings" menu can also save battery power because the player will automatically turn off after a preset period of inactivity.
