What You Need

You will need a Palm handheld PDA (or Palm Treo smartphone) with a built-in SD Card expansion slot, running Palm OS 5.2 or above. However, there are several Palm OS-based models that we do not recommend, due to issues affecting performance and sound quality. Please consult the following list.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Insert an Audiofy audiobook chip into the SD Card expansion slot, found on the top edge, along a side edge or on the back of your Palm handheld PDA. Typically, the Audiofy playback window will appear after several seconds to display the table of contents for the audiobook chip, and the audiobook chip will begin to play automatically. Tap any passage in the table of contents with your stylus, and the audio should instantly begin to play from that point.

What to Remember

Before removing an Audiofy audiobook chip from your Palm handheld PDA, we recommend exiting the Audiofy playback application.

To remove an Audiofy audiobook chip from some handheld PDAs and smartphones, you may need to gently push the edge of the SD Card slightly further into the SD Card expansion slot, then withdraw your finger. This should cause the audiobook chip to "pop out," allowing you to remove it from the device.

Please note: Sometimes the Audiofy software can become corrupt if installed on your Palm, instead of running the program off the chip. If you can see the Audiofy program on the Palm when the chip is not loaded, and you are having problems playing the chip, you must erase the local copy. After it has been erased, reinstall the chip.

Enjoy Audiofy audiobook chips wherever you go.
