Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing this Sony Portable Stereo Transmitter. This unit uses BLUETOOTH™ wireless technology.

This unit can transmit stereo audio signal to a BLUETOOTH stereo audio receiving device (headset, car audio unit, stereo component system, etc.) *. By converting a regular stereo audio signal input (analog) from the connected stereo audio source device to digital stereo audio signal and transmitting it wirelessly, you can enjoy listening to the music of your stereo audio source device connected to this unit (portable audio player, computer, etc.).

Enjoy listening to music

* BLUETOOTH devices to be connected with this unit are required to support A2DP

(Advanced Audio Distribution Profile).

Caution

If this unit detects a problem while charging, the indicator (red) may turn off, although charging is not complete. Check for the following causes:

– Ambient temperature exceeds the range

of 0 °C – 40 °C (32 °F – 104 °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

• If the battery is not used for a long time, battery may be quickly depleted, however, after a few recharges, battery life will improve.

• 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 in a car parked in the sun.

Pairing

What is pairing?

BLUETOOTH devices need to be “paired” with each other beforehand. Once BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need for pairing again, except in the following cases:

• When pairing information is deleted after repair, etc.

• When this unit is paired with 9 or more devices. This unit can be paired with 8 BLUETOOTH devices; if a new device is paired after 8 devices have been paired, the device whose latest connection time is the oldest among the 8 paired devices is replaced by the new one.

• When recognition of the unit by the device to be connected is deleted.

• When this unit is initialized. All pairing information is deleted.

Note

Passcode* of this unit is fixed at “0000.” This unit cannot be paired with a BLUETOOTH receiving device whose Passcode is not “0000.”

* Passcode may be called “Passkey,”

“PIN code,” “PIN number,” or “Password.”

Procedures of pairing

1 Place a BLUETOOTH

receiving device within 1 m (3 ft) of this unit.

Press and hold the POWER button for 7 seconds or more to standby for pairing while the unit is turned off.

The indicator (blue) and the indicator (red) start flashing together and this unit starts searching the BLUETOOTH receiving device.

Notes

• After about 3 seconds, power is turned on and the indicator (blue) and indicator (red) flash together twice. Keep the button pressed without releasing until both indicators start flashing together, then release the button. This unit enters into pairing mode.

•

If pairing is not established within about 5 minutes, pairing mode will be canceled and this unit will turn off. In this case, start over from step 1.

Continued

3 Set the BLUETOOTH

receiving device to pairing mode.

This unit searches the BLUETOOTH receiving device automatically, and pairs the device. The unit tries to connect the BLUETOOTH receiving device soon after detecting it. When the BLUETOOTH connection is made properly, the indicator (red) goes off and the indicator (blue) starts flashing more slowly, indicating pairing is complete and pairing information is memorized on this unit.

Notes

• If Passcode input is required on the BLUETOOTH receiving device, input “0000.”

• The message standing for “Pairing complete” appears on the display of some BLUETOOTH receiving devices.

• When pairing is complete, some BLUETOOTH devices may connect with the unit automatically.

Tips

• To pair with other BLUETOOTH

devices, repeat steps 1 to 3 for each device.

• To delete all pairing information, see “Initializing the unit” (page 20).
