Charging time differs depending on battery usage conditions.
If the battery life is reduced to about half of its normal life even if sufficiently charged, it
has probably worn out. Please contact your nearest Sony dealer.
If you charge your Walkman when it has not been used for a long period of time, your
computer may not recognize it, or nothing may appear on the display. Charge the
Walkman for about 10 minutes, after which it should start operating normally again.
Charge the battery in an ambient temperature of between 5 °C to 35 °C.
The number of times the battery can be recharged from complete discharge is
approximately 500 times. This number may vary depending on the conditions under
which you use your Walkman.
Charge the battery at least once every six months to a year if you do not use your
Walkman for a long period of time.
Charging is not guaranteed with homebuilt or modified computers.
Do not leave your Walkman connected for extended periods of time to a laptop
computer that is not connected to AC power. Doing so may discharge the computer’s
battery.
Do not turn on, restart, wake up from sleep mode, or shut down the computer with your
Walkman connected to the computer by USB cable. Doing so may cause the Walkman
to malfunction. Disconnect the Walkman from the computer before conducting those
operations.
Heat may build up in your Walkman while charging. This is not a malfunction.

Your Walkman uses a capacitive touch screen. Tap the screen directly with your
fingertip. Do not scratch it or tap it with sharp objects such as a needle, pen, or
fingernail. You cannot operate the touch screen with a stylus.
If you touch the touch screen with gloved fingers, it may operate incorrectly or may not
operate at all.
Do not operate your Walkman with objects on the touch screen.
If the touch screen is touched by objects other than your fingertip, it may not react
correctly.
Do not put the touch screen close to other electrical devices. Electrostatic discharges
can make the touch screen malfunction.
If there are water droplets on the touch screen, or if you touch it with wet fingertips, the
touch screen may not react correctly.
Do not put the touch screen close to water. The touch screen may malfunction in humid
conditions or when exposed to water.
Do not press hard on the LCD screen. Doing so may cause unevenness or damage.
Do not leave the LCD screen in direct sunlight. Be sure to block direct sunlight when
using your Walkman near a window.
Using your Walkman in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on
the LCD screen. This does not indicate a malfunction. The screen will return to normal
when the Walkman returns to normal temperature.
A residual image may appear on the LCD screen if the same image is displayed for an
extended period of time. The residual image will eventually disappear.
The LCD screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate
a malfunction.
The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however,
see tiny black points and/or bright points on the LCD screen. This is a normal result of
the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.
The LCD screen is made of glass. If the glass is damaged (cracked, etc.), do not touch
the touch screen nor try to repair it by yourself. Handle the LCD screen carefully as it is
vulnerable to dropping or mechanical shock. The warranty does not cover any damages
caused by customers due to incorrect handling.

network (Wi-Fi).
Using GPS allows you to find your position accurately, even if the process does take some
time. Using a wireless network allows you to find your position quickly, but accuracy may
vary.
Using GPS and a wireless network together allows you to make the most of the merits of
both methods.
(*1) GPS stands for Global Positioning System. GPS satellites emit positioning signals
toward the earth, and your Walkman uses those to display your current position.

Not es on t he GPS fun c t ion
Move your Walkman as little as possible in an area where there are no tall buildings and
trees around until the present location is displayed by the GPS function. The present
location can be displayed quicker when stationary than while moving. If the present
location is not displayed or if the wrong location is displayed, check the following notes
as well.
When other electronic devices are near your Walkman, electromagnetic waves or
magnetic interference from those may prevent the Walkman from providing accurate
location information. Keep electronic devices away from the Walkman.
When in an area with poor reception of GPS signals, you may encounter positioning
errors. To receive more accurate information, avoid using your Walkman in the following
locations.
Inside buildings and in vehicles such as cars and trains
In tunnels or underground
Under elevated tracks
Between tall buildings
In dense trees
In valleys
In case the wrong location is displayed, turn off the wireless network once. See if the
location information improves before turning on the wireless network again.
The GPS antenna is built in to your Walkman. If you cover the antenna with your hands
or other objects while using the GPS function, the positioning accuracy may deteriorate.

Use of Wi-Fi products may be restricted by local regulations in some countries or
regions.
Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. Wi-Fi
devices use technology to minimize radio interference from other devices that use the
same band. However, radio interference may still cause slower data transfer rates,
reduce communications range, or cause communications failure.
If both the Wi-Fi function and the Bluetooth function of your Walkman are enabled,
interference may occur and cause slower data transfer rates or other problems.
To communicate via Wi-Fi while traveling, you may need to contract with a Wi-Fi
connection service provider.
Data transfer rate and communications range may vary depending on the following
conditions.
Distance between devices
Presence of obstacles between devices
Device configuration
Signal conditions
Surrounding environment (wall material, etc.)
Software in use
Communications may be cut off depending on signal conditions.
The data transfer rate specified in the specifications is the theoretical maximum, and it
may not reflect actual data transfer rate.
Actual data transfer rate may not be as fast as the rate displayed on the screen.
Communications is not available with 5 GHz Wi-Fi as it uses a different frequency band.
The data transfer rate for IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz) devices may be
affected by interference when used with IEEE 802.11b products. Also, products using
IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n automatically lower the transfer rate to maintain
compatibility with IEEE 802.11b products. The normal transfer rate may be regained by
changing the channel settings of your access point.
When the data transfer rate is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on
the access point may increase the rate.
The Wi-Fi antenna is built in to your Walkman. If you cover the antenna with your hands
or other objects while using the Wi-Fi function, the Wi-Fi connection may deteriorate.

Bluetooth wireless technology allows connection at as distance of up to about 10
meters. However, the effective range may vary depending on obstacles (people, metals,
wall, etc.) or signal status.
The following conditions may cause noise, sound break or playback speed change with
a Bluetooth connection.
Using inside a metal case
Using inside a backpack or other bag held on the back or shoulder
Using in locations where a wireless network is in place, microwave oven is in use, or
other electromagnetic waves are produced
Because Bluetooth and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) devices use the same frequency
(2.4 GHz), signal interference may occur that results in communication speed
deterioration, noise, or inability to connect if Bluetooth communications is used near a
wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following.
Perform Bluetooth communications at least 10 meters away from the wireless LAN
device when connecting your Walkman and a Bluetooth device.
Place your Walkman and the Bluetooth device as close together as possible.
Turn off the wireless LAN device when performing Bluetooth communications within
about 10 meters of a wireless LAN device.
Due to a characteristic of Bluetooth wireless technology, the sound played on the
receiving Bluetooth device is slightly delayed from the sound of the sending device.
Radio waves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of equipment
such as electronic medical devices. Turn off your Walkman and other Bluetooth device
in the following locations, as failure to do so may cause an accident.
In hospitals, near priority seats on trains, in airplanes, in places such as gasoline
stations where flammable gases are present, near automatic doors or fire alarms
Your Walkman supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth standard to
provide a secure connection when Bluetooth technology is used, but security may not be
sufficient depending on the settings. Be careful when connecting using Bluetooth
technology.
Sony bears no responsibility whatsoever for information leaks as a result of using
Bluetooth technology.
Your Walkman is not guaranteed to connect with all Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth devices you connect to must conform to the Bluetooth standard specified
by Bluetooth SIG and be certified.
Even if the connected device conforms to the above-mentioned Bluetooth standard,
some devices may not be connected or work correctly depending on the features or
specifications of the device.
Depending on the device to be connected, the Bluetooth connection may take some time
to establish.
Not es on t he built -i n a nte nna
Your Walkman is equipped with an antenna. The sensitivity of the Bluetooth connection
will improve by facing the antenna part towards the connected Bluetooth device. The
effective range of the connection will differ if obstacles are between the Walkman and
the Bluetooth device.
Do not cover the antenna with your hand or other object when connected with the
Bluetooth connection. Doing so may obstruct the Bluetooth connection.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
TO EST A BLI SH A SA FE LE V EL:
Set your volume control to the lowest level where you can hear the music comfortably
and clearly. Prolonged exposure to anything over 85 decibels can cause gradual
hearing loss.
Once you have established a sound level where you can hear the audio comfortably,
clearly and without distortion, set the dial and leave it there.
See if your music player has a volume limiter that allows you to set a safe listening level
by establishing a maximum volume level on your player. This is a great solution for
parents to ensure their children listen at a safe level.
Limit listening time to give your hearing “quiet breaks.”
BE S U RE T O O BSERV E T HE FOL LOWING GUI DELINES WH E N WE ARI N G
YOU R H EADPH ON ES OR EAR BUDS:
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear sounds around you.
Do not use headphones or earbuds while operating a motorized vehicle; it may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide years of fun and enjoyment.
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this
manufacturer, CEA and ASHA recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise. The following list of sound levels is included for your information so that you can better
protect your hearing.

This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna
of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
The following FCC/IC statement applies only to the version of this model manufactured for
sale in the USA and Canada. Other versions may not comply with FCC/IC technical
regulations.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated
with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power
wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF
can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. These models have been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meet the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

The following descriptions are important for using your Walkman. Be sure to follow the
instructions below.
Do not touch the rechargeable battery with bare hands if it is leaking. Since battery liquid
may remain in your Walkman, consult your nearest Sony dealer if the battery has
leaked. If the liquid gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes as it may lead to blindness.
Wash out your eyes with clean water, and consult a doctor.
Also, if the liquid gets on to your body or clothes, wash it off immediately. If you do not, it
may cause burns or injury. If you get burned or injured by the liquid from the battery,
consult a doctor.
If your Walkman causes interference to radio or television reception, turn the Walkman
off and move it away from the radio or television.
In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a result of
static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction of your Walkman.
The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.
When using a strap (not supplied), be careful to avoid catching it on objects you pass
by. Furthermore be careful not to swing your Walkman by the strap to avoid bumping
people.

Sony is not responsible for incomplete recording/downloading or damaged data due to
problems of your Walkman or computer.
Some types of characters and symbols may not be displayed correctly on your Walkman
in the following cases:
A language which the Walkman does not support is used in the text.
User-defined characters or special symbols are used in the text.
Heat may build up in your Walkman while charging if it is used for an extended period of
time.
Note that condensation may form temporarily in cases such as when your Walkman is
moved quickly from a low-temperature environment to a high temperature environment,
or used in a room that has a heater just turned on. Condensation creates a
phenomenon where moisture in the air adheres to surfaces such as metal panels, etc.,
and then changes to liquid.
If condensation forms in your Walkman, leave it turned off until the condensation
disappears. If you use the Walkman with condensation present, a malfunction may
result.
If you use your Walkman in a cold location, images may appear with black bands around
them. This is not a malfunction of the Walkman.
Avoid using the headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous,
loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.
Do not turn the volume up high all at once, especially when using headphones. Turn up the
volume gradually to avoid excessive levels hurting your ears.
Ca r ing f or ot he rs
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be
considerate to the people around you.
