Charging t he battery

About the battery indicator

The battery of your Walkman is recharged while the Walkman is connected to a running computer. When you connect your Walkman 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 tus De scription

Charging (*1)

Charging is completed (*1).

Blank screen The battery is not being charged (*2).

(*1) Charging time is approx. 2 hours. When charging is completed, disconnect your Walkman from the

USB connector of your computer.

(*2) If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode, the screen of

your Walkman may turn off. In this case, the Walkman 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 your Walkman for the first time, or if you have not used the Walkman for a long time, recharge it fully (until the battery charge indicator displays

Not e

When charging by the optional AC power adaptor, soon after charging is completed and

is displayed, the screen turns off. Press any button, or disconnect the AC power

adaptor to return to the normal screen.

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 your Walkman. In this case, charge the battery by connecting to your computer. See

[Details] on battery duration.

Not e

If you charge your Walkman when it has not been used for a long period, your computer may not recognize the Walkman, or nothing may appear on the display. Charge the Walkman 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

icon 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 your Walkman. 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 your Walkman. During this time, do not disconnect the USB cable (supplied); otherwise, data being transferred (or data already in the Walkman) may be damaged. The control buttons on your Walkman 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 your Walkman. 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 your Walkman is connected via the USB cable, the battery of the Walkman will not be charged. Instead, the Walkman continues to draw power from the battery, discharging it. Do not leave your Walkman connected for extended periods to a laptop computer that is not connected to AC power, since the Walkman may discharge the computer’s battery. While your Walkman 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 Walkman to malfunction. Disconnect the Walkman from the computer before performing these operations. Heat may build up in your Walkman 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.
