Note

  • If the audio receiver is not used for a long time, the battery may be quickly depleted, however, after a few recharges, the battery life will improve.
  • If you store the audio receiver for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to avoid over discharge.
  • If the audio receiver is not used for a long time, it may take longer to charge the battery.
  • If the computer enters into hibernation mode while connected to the audio receiver, charging will not be completed properly. Check the setting of the computer before charging. The indicator (red) will go off automatically if the computer enters into hibernation mode. Charge the audio receiver again in this case.
  • The audio receiver cannot be turned on, nor can the BLUETOOTH function be used, during charging.
  • If the audio receiver detects a problem while charging due to following causes, the indicator (red) may turn off, although charging is not complete. In this case, charge again within the charging temperature range of 10 °C – 35 °C. If the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
    • Ambient temperature exceeds the charging temperature range of 10 °C – 35 °C.
    • There is a problem with the battery.
  • If the audio receiver is not used for a long time, the indicator (red) may not light up when you connect the micro-USB cable to charge the audio receiver. In this case, do not disconnect the micro-USB cable from the audio receiver and wait until the indicator (red) lights up.
  • If the life of the built-in rechargeable battery drops significantly, the battery should be replaced. Consult your nearest Sony dealer for replacement of the rechargeable battery.
  • Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never leave the audio receiver in a car parked in the sun.
