Papyrus FAQ
Q: How long will the Papyrus play from a full charge?
A: Play time depends on the volume level. To give you an idea of what to expect, the Papyrus will play for 6.5 hours at its loudest volume or 14 hours at a volume appropriate for a small group.
Q: How long with the Papyrus play from a day of solar charging?
A: Play time after solar charging depends on the quality of your sunshine (according to latitude and weather) and the volume level. Typical results we've found in the US: the Papyrus will play for 2.5 hours at its loudest volume or 5 hours at a volume appropriate for a small group.
Q: What sizes of SD cards will work with the Papyrus?
A: While Renew recommends a 2GB card, the Papyrus will play SD or SDHC cards up to 8GB large. 16GB and larger are currently not compatible the Papyrus.
Q: How does navigating the books and chapters of an audio Bible work?
A: The top and bottom navigation buttons move forward and backward by folders (i.e. albums or books of the Bible). The right and left navigation buttons move forward and backward by files (i.e. songs or chapters of the Bible). The audio Bibles provided by Faith Comes By Hearing have an audio announcement at the beginning of every chapter (file) (i.e. "Matthew chapter 6" to help with orientation. If you are developing your own audio content, your listeners will likely appreciate the addition of similar announcements at the beginning of your files.
