Precautions

• To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by the plug, not the cord.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches, CRTbased TVs, or projectors, etc., away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

• Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (a rug, a blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain).

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not handle the unit with wet hands.

• Do not place the unit anywhere near water.

• Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connection to the wireless LAN router/access point in order to comply with the limit for EMC regulations.

Notes on unit placement

• When playing the unit at loud volume, the unit may move due to vibration, depending on where the unit is placed.

• Check that the unit is placed where it will not fall down due to vibration.

NOTES ON LITHIUM BATTERY

• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good contact.

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery.

• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Note

• In the Operating Instructions, “iPod” is used as a general reference to functions on an iPod, iPhone or iPad, unless otherwise specified by the text or illustrations.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

If the TV picture or monitor display is magnetically distorted

This unit is not magnetically shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. If there is no improvement, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
