Notes

If the headset is not used for a long time, the battery may be quickly depleted, however, after a few recharges, the battery life will improve. Even if you do not intend to use the headset for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to maintain its performance. If the headset is not used for a long time, it may take longer to charge the battery. If the life of the built - in rechargeable battery drops to half the normal length, 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 headset in a car parked in the sun.
