- User available memory = 7,840,956,416 bytes, because a portion of the memory is used for data management functions.
- Calculated based on 4 minutes per song @ 128 kbps in MP3 format, not including videos or photos. Other playable audio file format song numbers and times may differ from MP3 format. For video transfer the approximate recordable times are estimated where only video is transferred to the device. Times may vary depending on the conditions under which the player is used.

- Not all products with USB 2.0 connectors may communicate with each other due to chipset variations.

The times are approximate when Bluetooth is off, all of the Equalizers and the VPT are set to "None", all of the DSEE, the Clear Stereo, Dynamic Normalizer and the New Song Pop Up are set to "Off", and the Type of Screensaver is set to "Blank". Actual battery life may vary based on usage patterns, environment and battery condition.
