Precautions

On safety

  • Refer to the Reference Guide supplied with the speaker.

  • The nameplate and important information concerning safety are attached in the inner surface of the cap on the rear side of the speaker.

On the power cord

  • The supplied AC power cord (mains lead) is designed exclusively for this speaker. It should not be used in combination with any other devices.

  • Completely disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) from the AC outlet (mains) if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging the AC power cord (mains lead), always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

On placement

  • To eliminate the risk of malfunctions, avoid the following locations when placing or leaving this speaker.

    • A place subject to high temperatures, such as under direct sunlight or lighting equipment, near a heat source, or in a sauna

    • Inside a vehicle with the windows closed (especially in summertime)

    • A place exposed to hot air, such as from a hair dryer

    • A place subject to excessive dust

    • A place subject to strong vibration

  • Place this speaker on a flat, level surface. When placed on a sloped surface, the speaker may fall over or fall off the surface due to its own vibration, resulting in injuries, malfunctions, or performance degradation.

  • Depending on the conditions where this speaker is placed, it may fall over or fall off the surface. Do not leave any valuables near the speaker.

  • This speaker is not anti-magnetic. Keep objects susceptible to magnetism (recorded tapes, watches, cash cards and credit cards with magnetic coding, etc.) away from the speaker. When you carry around the speaker, keep this in mind as well.

On the handles

  • Do not allow children to put their hands or arms into the handle openings. Their hands or arms may become stuck and cause injury.

Other notes

  • When placed in an extremely hot or cold environment, the speaker stops battery charging for safety reasons. When the battery is kept charging itself for an extended period of time, the speaker may stop battery charging as well. In such a case, make sure that the ambient temperature is within the operating temperature range (5 °C - 35 °C (41 °F - 95 °F)), unplug and plug the AC power cord (mains lead), and then charge the battery all over again.

  • If you use this speaker for a long time, the temperature of this speaker may rise, but it is not a malfunction.

  • If you are playing music while the speaker is charging or in a location with high ambient temperatures, the volume may be automatically adjusted for safety reasons.

  • Noise or sound interruption may occur depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with the speaker, the communication environment or the usage environment.

  • Even if you do not intend to use the speaker for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to maintain its performance.

  • Place the speaker in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the speaker.

  • Do not insert foreign objects from the opening of the speaker unit.

  • If a foreign object or water gets into the speaker, turn off the speaker immediately, unplug the speaker from the AC outlet (mains), and consult with your nearest Sony dealer or the store you purchased the product from.

  • When the speaker's light seems bright or glaring, turn up the room lights or turn off the lighting function.

  • If sand or dust adheres to the caster wheels' axles, or grass or lint gets wrapped around them, the caster wheels may malfunction.
