Operating Instructions
WARNING
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 to 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the
FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to
OET65.
This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly
approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
When you use the AIR-PC10T connected to a notebook PC with the
wireless function (wireless LAN, etc.), switch off the wireless function, or
place the AIR-PC10T with supplied cradle attached more than 20cm (7 7/8
feet) away from your computer.

About the S-AIR
AIR-PC10T is compatible with the Sony’s S-AIR products, which allows
transmission of sound between S-AIR products wirelessly.
S-AIR (Sony Audio Interactive Radio frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of DVD media, Digital
Broadcasting, and other high-quality media.
To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high-quality media are
transmitted with no deterioration, Sony has developed a technology
called “S-AIR” for the radio transmission of digital audio signals with
no compression, and has incorporated this technology into the
AIR-PC10T.
This technology transfers digital audio signals with no compression
using the 2.4 GHz band range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and
Medical band), such as wireless LANs and Bluetooth applications.
About S-AIR products
There are two types of S-AIR product.
S-AIR main unit (this unit): This is for transmitting sound.
S-AIR sub unit: This is for receiving sound (speaker, music receiver,
etc.).
By connecting the AIR-PC10T to a USB port of your computer, the
AIR-PC10T can transmit music stored on your computer to an S-AIR sub
unit for playback.
Furthermore, if you install the supplied application software S-AIR Cast
on your computer and select Remote Mode or Advanced Remote Mode,
you can also control the contents on an S-AIR sub unit. For example, you
can install S-AIR sub units, one in the study room and the other in the
bedroom, and then install your computer with the AIR-PC10T connected
in the living room. You can then listen to music from the computer by
controlling the S-AIR sub unit.

Establishing sound transmission between the AIR-PC10T
and the S-AIR sub unit (ID setting)
Simply by matching the ID of the AIR-PC10T and the S-AIR sub unit, you
can establish sound transmission.
Identifying the AIR-PC10T with a specific S-AIR sub unit
(Pairing operation)
It is easy to set the same ID for the AIR-PC10T and the S-AIR sub unit to
establish sound transmission.
However, neighbors may also receive your systems sound if IDs are the
same, or you may receive sound from your neighbors. To prevent this, you
can identify the AIR-PC10T with a specific S-AIR sub unit by performing
the pairing operation. To perform the pairing operation, you need to install
the supplied S-AIR Cast software. For details, refer to the S-AIR Cast
installation instructions.

Precautions
As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio waves, sound may skip
when radio waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves
and is not malfunction.
As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio waves, equipment that
generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave oven, may
interfere with sound transmission.
As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves that share the same
frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth,
interference or poor transmission may result. In this case, take the
following steps:
- Do not install the system near other wireless systems.
- Do not use the system and the other wireless systems at the same
time.
The transmission distance differs depending on the usage environment.
Find a location where transmission between the AIR-PC10T and the
S-AIR sub unit is most effective, and install the AIR-PC10T and the
S-AIR sub unit there.
Troubleshooting
1 Make sure the power of your computer and S-AIR sub unit is on.
2 Find your problem in the checklist below, and take the indicated
