Music Menu-4-1

The F1200 has a digital music player built-in. You can enjoy listening to MP3

or AAC music files on a memory in your phone using a compatible headset or

via the internal loudspeaker.

n

Note

Because of the small dimension of the speaker, in some cases the audio

could be distorted, especially at maximum volume and when there are lots of

bass sounds. Therefore, we recommend you to use the stereo headset in

order to appreciate the high quality of your music.

The music player supports:

MPEG-1 Layer III: Sampling frequency up to 48KHz, Bit rate up to

192Kbps, stereo

MPEG-2 Layer III: Sampling frequency up to 24KHz, Bit rate up to

160Kbps, stereo

AAC: ADIF, ADTS formats (Sampling frequency up to 48KHz)

Transferring music files to the F1200

You can use the connected mobile phone as a removable disk. When the

phone memory is represented by “Removable Disk” in “My Computer” in the

Windows application.

You can use the phone as a removable disk if the operating system is

Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

You may need to install the USB device driver supplied on the CD-ROM

depending the operating system.

In case that it does not work properly, please reinstall the driver from the

CD-ROM.

Refer to the Help file on the CD-ROM regarding the USB device driver

installation.

of the user or a product defect. In addition, the repair or initialisation of the

product may permanently delete the data. Please make sure to backup your
