Rio 500 Audio Player Instructions

To listen to your audiobook: 
• Power on the “OFF/HOLD/ON” switch on top of the Rio
  500. The LCD Display should be set to Track 01 and Folder
  01. 
• Push the “PLAY/PAUSE” button once to begin listening.
• To adjust the volume, scroll the "-MULTI+" button

To bookmark your audiobook: 
• When you stop or power off the Rio 500, the Rio 500 will
  automatically keep your place in the book and begin from
  there the next time you power on. 
• If you want to create a bookmark, hold the “BOOKMARK”
  button (located on the left-hand side of the unit) down for
  two seconds.

To move to a stored bookmark: 
• Push the “BROWSE” button three times (until the LCD
  Display shows bookmark icons listed down the left side of
  the display). This is the bookmark screen. 
• Use the “-MULTI+” button to scroll to and highlight the
  desired bookmark. 
• Press the “-MULTI+” button once. The Rio 500 will begin to
  play your audiobook from the selected bookmark location.

To delete a bookmark: 
• Push the “BROWSE” button three times (until the LCD
  Display shows bookmark icons listed down the left side of
  the display). This is the bookmark screen. 
• Use the “-MULTI+” button to scroll to the bookmark you
  wish to delete. 
• Push the “BOOKMARK” button to delete the bookmark.

Tracks and Folders: 
• Depending on length, audiobooks are often stored on the
  Rio 500 in several folders. Each folder contains several
  “tracks”. See the folder icon number and the track (TRK)
  number on the LCD Display.
• When you begin to play your audiobook, the TRK number
  should be 01 and the folder number should be 01. Each track
  is roughly 45 minutes to an hour in length. Each folder
  contains around 8 tracks. 
• The “FF” button on the front of the Rio 500 forwards from
  track to track. It does not forward to the next folder. The
  “REW” button on the front of the Rio 500 rewinds from
  track to track. It does not rewind to previous folders. When
  you finish listening to all the tracks on folder 01, you will
  want to change to folder 02 (and so on, until you finish your
  book).
• If there are no tracks or content is missing, please return
  the set to the library. (The library will send the set to
  Shipping, indicating the problem).

To change folders: 
• Push the “BROWSE” button twice (until the LCD Display
  shows icons that look like open books). This is the folder
  screen. 
• Use the “-MULTI+” button to scroll to the next folder down.
  Press the “-MULTI+” button once to select the new folder. 
• The LCD Display should now show that you are on a new
  folder number (see the new number next to the folder
  icon).
• Press “PLAY/PAUSE” to begin listening.

Playaway

Instructions On Using the Playaway How to turn on Playaway First, make sure you have pulled the small white tab from the battery door. This activates the standard AAA battery that was pre-loaded into your Playaway unit. Next, press the Playaway button once to power it on. The Playaway button is the center button on the bottom row, just beneath the LCD. It has the Playaway logo on it. The unit is now on in a paused state. Now you can plug in your ear buds – or any other headphones, speakers or adapter. Finally, when you’re ready, press the Playaway button again and the book will begin to play. How to replace the battery The base of the Playaway has a battery door that can be removed, much like on a common remote control. Simply snap it off – don’t worry, you won’t break it. It takes some force. Once it’s off just replace the battery with a standard AAA, and snap the battery cover back in place. How to attach a lanyard At the narrow top of the Playaway unit is a small lanyard that slides out of the unit. Simply pull out with some force and the lanyard clip will snap into place. Then take the lanyard itself and loop the thin end through the lanyard clip opening. Once the lanyard is looped through itself, you can either push the clip back into the unit or leave it up. New content cannot be added to Playaway Playaway was designed to protect the copyrighted works of authors and publishers. In this respect, Playaway is no different than a hard cover book; consumers can share them with friends just like they would lend their new favorite bestseller, but they can’t make copies. How to use Playaway in your car Playaway has a universal headphone jack that can be used with most of the commonly available car adapters on the market, including cassette adapters and FM transmitters.
