About battery life


By adjusting the settings or managing the power supply properly, you can save the battery power for longer usage time between charges.
The following hints will yield a longer battery life.

Turning off your “WALKMAN” manually

If you press and hold the button, after [POWER OFF] appears, the screen disappears and your Walkman is turned off. The Walkman consumes battery power very slightly in this status.

Longer battery life settings

The following settings are effective for extending the battery life of your Walkman.
  • Set [Power Save Mode] to [Save ON Super].

  • Set [Equalizer] to [None].

  • Deactivate [BASS].

  • Set [LED] to [LED OFF].

  • Set [Voice Record Codec] to [Low].

See [Details] for details on the effect of the Walkman settings, default settings, and battery life measurement conditions.

Adjusting the data format and bit rate

Playing time will vary, as battery charge can be affected by the format and bit rate of songs that are played.
For details on charging time and usage time, see [Details].
