  • If the headset is not used for a long time, the rechargeable battery usage hours may be reduced. However, the battery life will improve after charging and discharging several times. If you store the headset for a long time, charge the battery once every 6 months to avoid over-discharge.
  • If the headset is not used for a long time, it may take longer to charge the battery.
  • If the headset detects a problem while charging due to the following causes, the charging indicator (orange) flashes. In this case, pull out and insert the USB Type-C cable, then charge once again within the charging temperature range. If the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
    • Ambient temperature exceeds the charging temperature range of 5 °C - 35 °C (41 °F - 95 °F).
