Troubleshooting Q1: Why doesn’t the driver CD Auto-Run after it is inserted into the CD-ROM drive in Windows? A1: This problem usually occurs because the Auto-Insert function of the CD-ROM drive is disabled. Please enter Device Manager in Control Panel and enable the Auto-Insert function of the CD-ROM drive. Alternatively, you can execute the JetFlash.EXE in the driver CD manually.
A7: Please press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE button a second or two longer, until the three LEDs blink once and the Power/Play LED turns green. If the problem persists, please check to see whether the battery power is used up. If it is, replace the battery with a new one. Q8: Why can’t I turn on JetFlash and start playing MP3 music or recording voice? A8: Please check following: 1. Is JetFlash connected to your computer? If yes, unplug it. 2. Is the Hold switch set to “ON”? If yes, set it to “OFF”. 3.
Q14: Why is JetFlash automatically removed from the operating system when I use it as a USB Flash Drive? A14: This problem occurs when you press the PLAY/PAUSE button while JetFlash is connected with a USB port. Please unplug JetFlash from the USB port then re-plug it.
