Charging t he battery
About the battery indicator
The player’s battery is recharged while the player is connected to a running computer.
When you connect the player to your computer, use the USB cable (supplied).
Display
When charging the battery, you can check the battery charging status.
Ba t t e ry charging st a t us on t he display
St a tusDe scription
Charging (*1)
Charging is completed (*1).
Blank screenThe battery is not being charged (*2).
(*1) Charging time is approx. 2 hours. When charging is completed, disconnect the player from the USB
connector of your computer.
(*2) If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode, the player’s
screen may turn off. In this case, the player consumes battery power.
Hint
Depending on the computer, changing the settings of the Sleep or Hibernation mode varies.
Refer to the manufacturer.
When you use the player for the first time, or if you have not used the player for a long time,
recharge it fully (until the battery charge indicator displays
).
About the ba ttery indic a t or
The battery indicator in the information area shows the remaining battery charge.
As the battery power gets lower, the bars of the icon disappear. If [LOW BATTERY. Please
Charge.] appears, you cannot use the player. In this case, charge the battery by connecting to
your computer. See [Details] on battery duration.
27
Not e
If you charge the player when it has not been used for a long period, your computer may not
recognize the player, or nothing may appear on the display. Charge the player for about 5
minutes, after which it should start operating normally again.
Charge the battery in an ambient temperature of between 5 ºC to 35 ºC (41 ºF to 95 ºF). If
you try to charge the battery in an ambient temperature outside this range, the
may appear, and charging cannot be performed.
The number of times the battery can be recharged before it is used up is approximately 500
times. This number may vary, depending on the conditions under which you use the player.
The battery indicator on the display is only an estimate. For example, one section of black in
the indicator will not always indicate exactly one-fourth of the battery’s charge.
[Do not disconnect.] appears in the display while the computer accesses the player. During
this time, do not disconnect the USB cable (supplied); otherwise, data being transferred (or
data already in the player) may be damaged.
The control buttons on the player become inoperative while it is connected to a computer.
To prevent battery deterioration, charge the battery at least once every half a year or every
year.
Some USB devices connected to the computer may interfere with proper operation of the
player.
We do not guarantee battery recharging using a personally assembled/modified computer.
If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode, while
the player is connected via the USB cable, the player’s battery will not be charged. Instead,
the player continues to draw power from the battery, discharging it.
Do not leave the player connected for extended periods to a laptop computer that is not
connected to AC power, since the player may discharge the computer’s battery.
While the player is connected to a computer, do not turn on, restart, wake up from sleep
mode, or shut down the computer. These operations may cause the player to malfunction.
Disconnect the player from the computer before performing these operations.
Heat may build up in the player while charging. This is not a malfunction.
After connecting to a computer with the USB cable, the resume information of the last
played song, video, photo, etc., is cleared. Reselect the desired content from the list screen.
