BLUETOOTH Ver.3.0 Compatible BLUETOOTH profile: A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP You can listen to music (or audio) from a SCMS-T compatible mobile phone or onesegment TV. By connecting to the system with a smartphone via BLUETOOTH, you can talk handsfree using the microphone and speaker built in to the system. “Noise suppression” and “Echo cancellation” enable phone calls with high-quality sound. Noise suppression: Noise picked up by the system is suppressed, so the caller will hear your voice with less noise. Echo cancellation: By reducing sound from the system picked up by the system microphone, echoes generated by the caller’s phone will be suppressed. Circle Sound Stage reproduces a sound field spreading over 360 degrees. You can enjoy up to about 5 hours of continuous wireless music playback with the builtin lithium ion rechargeable battery. External input jack: AUDIO IN Carrying pouch supplied Charge via USB with attached micro-USB cable

System requirements for battery charge using USB

Personal Computer with pre-installed with any of the following operating systems and USB port:

Operating Systems

(when using Windows) Windows® 7 Home Basic / Home Premium / Professional / Ultimate Windows Vista® (Service Pack 2 or later) Home Basic / Home Premium / Business / Ultimate Windows® XP (Service Pack 3 or later) Home Edition / Professional / Media Center Edition 2004 / Media Center Edition 2005

(when using Macintosh) Mac OS X (version 10.3 or later)

Charging the system

1. Open the jack cover of the system.

2. Connect the supplied micro-USB cable to the system, and then connect the other end

to a computer. Make sure that you connect the plug of the micro-USB cable in the direction as shown in the illustration below.

Charging starts when the system and the computer are connected. Make sure that the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) lights up. Charging is completed in about 3 hours* and the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) goes off automatically. * Time required to charge the empty battery to its full capacity

Notes

If the system is not used for a long time, the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) may not light up when you connect the micro-USB cable to charge the system. In this case, do not disconnect the micro-USB cable from the system and wait until the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) lights up.

By connecting the system to a computer via USB, you can charge the system, but

SearchSearch

cannot play music.

Tip

To charge the system from an AC outlet, use a USB Charging AC Power Adaptor (sold separately). For details, refer to the manuals supplied with the USB Charging AC Power Adaptor.

Caution

If the system detects a problem while charging, the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) may turn off, although charging is not complete. Check for the following causes:

Ambient temperature exceeds the range of 5 °C – 35 °C (41 °F – 95 °F). There is a problem with the battery. In this case, charge again within the above-mentioned temperature range. If the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes

Charging time varies depending on conditions of use of the battery. Charge the system in the ambient temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F). Charging the system using the computer you assembled or converted is not guaranteed to work. If you connect the system to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power source, the laptop computer battery will discharge faster than normal. The system will get warm during charging. This is not a malfunction. Even if you do not intend to use the system for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to maintain its performance. If the system 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 system in a car parked in the sun. Use the supplied micro-USB cable only, and connect directly to a computer. Charging will not be completed properly by an indirect connection, such as via a USB hub.

Battery life (when using the BLUETOOTH connection)

About 5 hours Time stated above may vary, depending on ambient temperature or conditions of use.

When the battery is almost empty

The BATT/CHG indicator (orange) flashes. When the battery becomes empty, the system turns off automatically.

Auto power off function

If the system is left in any of the following conditions for more than 20 minutes, it turns off automatically.

No BLUETOOTH connection has been established between the system and the smartphone or mobile phone. No music (audio) is played, when the system is connected to a BLUETOOTH device without a communication function, such as a “Walkman.” No music (audio) is played on an audio device connected to the AUDIO IN jack.

What is BLUETOOTH wireless technology?

Getting Started

BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless

BLUETOOTH

One touch connection (NFC)

Music

Phone calls

Troubleshooting

Important information

Contents list

data communication between digital devices, such as a computer and digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 30 ft). Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. BLUETOOTH standard is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

Maximum communication range

Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions.

There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between the system and BLUETOOTH device. A wireless LAN device is in use near the system. A microwave oven is in use near the system. A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near the system.

Interference from other devices

Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if the system is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following.

Use the system at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN device. If the system is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.

Interference to other devices

Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off the system and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident.

where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station near automatic doors or a fire alarm

Notes

To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be connected requires the same profile as the system’s. Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may vary in function depending on their specifications. Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, the sound played on the system is slightly delayed from the sound played on the BLUETOOTH device during talking on the telephone or listening to the music. This system supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
