2-1 Switching the MP3 Player on/off:
- In order to switch on the MP3 player, press the button "Play / Stop" shortly once. After that always the first title is
displayed.
- To switch off, press and hold the button "Play / Stop" at least for 3 seconds until the message "OFF" appears.
INFO: As it was dispensed with an internal memory inside the MP3 player in order to realize a highly attractive price, there
is unfortunately no possibility to save the position of the last played song after switching off!
2-2 Play-back MP3s:
- After the MP3 player is switched on, press the button "Play / Stop" once to start play-back. In order to stop play-back
press this button once again.
- By shortly pressing the button "Next title / fast forward" or the button "Previous title / rewind" once you can switch to
the next / previous title. During play-back you can run forward / wind within the played title by pressing and holding these
buttons.
- By using the button "Volume +/-" you can control the volume in 25 steps. Press the button upwards increases the
volume, press the button downwards reduces it . The chosen volume shortly appears on the display.
INFO: After the player is switched off / on again the volume is reset to the default setting of 18.
- For repeated play-back of one or several titles press the button "Repeat" while play-back was stopped. The DMP offers
3 different modes which can be activated one by one by pressing the "Repeat" button for several times:
"REP 1": The current title will be repeated endlessly.
"ALL": All titles on the memory card are played back successively. After the last title, it will start from the first title again.
- "INT": The titles are played back random (shuffle mode).
- Pressing the button "Repeat" during a title is played will activate the A-B mode. With this function you can playback
repeatedly a part of the title. Start the play-back and press the button "Repeat" once in order to mark the beginning of
the section. Now the symbol "A" is shown in the display and the title is played on. As soon as the end of the desired
section will be reached press the "Repeat" button a second time. Now the symbol "A..B" is shown and the chosen
section is played again and again. This mode can be helpful e.g. for learning a language. In order to terminate the A-B
mode press the "Repeat" button once more.
- By pressing the "EQ" button you can activate one of the 4 equalizer settings. The DMP100 offers the following settings:
POP, CLASS, ROCK, JAZZ.

4) Problem solution:

Problem: The play-back stops after a few minutes and it is shown an empty battery although I have inserted a new
battery.
Solution: Unfortunately it can happen that the DMP100 is not compatible with some memory cards available in
market. In this case, if it is possible, try to use a memory card of another supplier with the MP3 player. If the problem
is not solved thereby, please contact the Service Hotline of Hama GmbH.
Problem: It is not possible to play-back other music data (e.g. WMA) as MP3.
Solution: The Hama MP3 player is a mere play-back device for MP3 data. Other formats can not be played with this
player. Please convert these files to standard MP3 files.
Problem: The buttons won't work.
Solution: Check if the "Hold" mode is activated and deactivate this if necessary (see 2-2 Play-back of MP3 data)
Problem: The play-back time is too short using one battery.
Solution: As different memory cards in operation have a differently high current consumption, in the worst case it
could happen that you just can reach a play-back time of about 30 minutes e. g. with a Secure Digital memory card
with a very high capacity. To get the optimum performance of the DMP100 we recommend to use therefore a Hama
Secure Digital card or a Hama MMC card with an capacity of up to 128 MB. Herewith you can reach an average play-
back time of about 4-6 hours (depending also on the type, age or on the producer of the used battery).
