The EXEZE WMR (2nd Generation) has been designed and tested to withstand use in water in up to 3 meters depth (approximately 10 feet or 3 yards).
The audio files have to be in either MP3 or WAV format for the MP3 player to be able to play them. If your files are not in one of those formats then you will have to convert them before you can listen to them. We recommend that you seach the web for an appropriate method of converting your files to MP3 format.
If you are using iTunes then you can read in Apple’s support article HT204310 how to convert your files. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204310.
If you are using Windows Media Player you can find out how to convert your files here: http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-Any-Type-of-Audio-in-Windows-Media-Player.
Note that there may be other reasons for no sound - please make sure that you follow the steps outlined in the section “How do I use it?” above.

Sequential Mode (Red Light)
No folders
- If the audio files on the MP3 player are stored without using any folders then the audio files are played in the order they were copied onto the MP3 player.
Using folders
- If the audio files are stored in folders then the MP3 player plays the audio files within each folder in the order they were copied onto the MP3 player.
- Once all the files in a folder have been played then the audio files in the next folder are played.
- The folders are played in the order the folders were created.
Random Mode (Blue Light)
- If random play is engaged then the audio files are played entirely randomly, and it does not matter if the audio files are stored in folders or not.
View Creation Date
- To view the creation date of the audio files; view the files on the MP3 player in the Windows Explorer on Windows (on Mac: Finder) and then select to view the column "Date Created" by right clicking on the column headings in Windows (on Mac: right click on any file and select “Show View Options”).
- To see in which order the files will be played then sort the files on date created by clicking on the column heading.
When attaching the MP3 player to your computer then the MP3 player works just like a standard USB drive. When you plug in a USB drive, you give your operating system free reign to write and read data from it; some of which may be cached.
Caching occurs by not writing information immediately to the USB device, and instead keeping it in your computer's memory (RAM). Also, when writing to disk the computer doesn't always "flush" a disk write buffer and only part of the data may have been written. If you were to yank the USB drive out of your computer before this information is written, or while its being written, you'll end up with a corrupted USB drive.
If you have deleted files from the USB drive they may actually not have been deleted but only moved to the trash can and the files would not be removed until the trash can is emptied or the USB drive is safely removed (depending on how your operating system works). If the USB drive is not removed safely the files may be taking up space on your USB drive without being visible.
Safely removing hardware / Ejecting causes the files to close "gracefully", preserving data, pointers and file size indicators. Using the proper procedure will assure that the data and pointers are in good shape and all your data is safely stored until you need them again.
This can happen if the MP3 player has not been removed correctly - see the previous question for details how this could have happened and how it can be avoided.
To fix this problem you will need to format the MP3 player using the file system FAT32. Note that all data previously stored on the MP3 player will be lost during a format. When attaching the MP3 player to your computer then the MP3 player works just like a standard USB drive. Formatting instructions for USB drives (thus also works for the MP3 player):
- Windows: https://www.google.com/?q=how+to+format+an+external+hard+drive+in+windows
- Mac OS X: https://www.google.com/?q=how+to+format+an+external+hard+drive+to+fat32+in+mac+os+x
- Linux: https://www.google.com/?q=how+to+format+an+external+hard+drive+in+linux+to+fat32
There is software to recover data from corrupted drives, but Exeze does not provide any such software or service so you will need to search the Internet should you require it.
It is important that the USB cable is inserted firmly into the MP3 player before attaching it to the computer. If the light of the MP3 player goes on when attaching it to the computer then the USB cable is attached properly and the MP3 player should be visible just like a standard USB drive on your computer.
If this does not solve your problem there might be a driver problem on your computer. When attaching the MP3 player to your computer then the MP3 player works just like a standard USB drive, see these links for common USB drive problems and solutions:
The MP3 player can stop responding if for example a MP3 file is corrupt. To reset the MP3 player then follow these steps:
- Remove the earphones / USB cable from the MP3 player.
- Insert the reset pin into the earphone socket and hold it depressed for 10 seconds.
The reset pin is the small plastic pin included with the MP3 player at the time of sale, it is packeted in a small plastic bag together with the extra ear buds. If you do not have the reset pin at hand then any thin pin about 20mm in length that fits into the socket will do.
