I've had a McKinley headphone amplifier for about a year or so with no problem however it's now flat and needs recharging for the first time. It says it's rechargeable but being a non-techie no idea what to do next ! :o

Any help much appreciated thanks....

Let it charge until the red light goes out.

As Carwiz said, plug in the charger until red light goes out - usually will turn to green.

Are you missing the charger? If it is proprietary, you will have to order another charger from MFR.

Just realized you are in UK- Look at your manual - if you have a local # to call.

Use the cable that came with it and plug it into any USB ported A/C adaptor (phone charger, etc.) or your PC (when turned on). You don't need any special charger. The charge cable that came with it has a mini-USB plug on one end and standard USB plug on the other.

Thanks always a first time for everything ! :o

Somehow the USB had become unplugged without me knowing so at the time a real mystery why most of the sound went halfway through a film and obviously why the battery went. However I never knew that the red light meant it was charging - overall a great piece of equipment for those like myself with poor hearing.

Again many thanks... :)

You're welcome. Glad we could help.

The FiiO 5 is a great amplifier. I bought one last year to boost headphones while "tractoring". The little ear plugs that came with my SanDisk MP3 player just didn't do it and the headphones block the noise.

Just a little trivial babble. :)
