The following are notes regarding use of the Bluetooth function.
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.
Notes on the built-in antenna
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 your
“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.

The following are notes regarding use of Wi-Fi.
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.

The location information function finds your current position using GPS* or a wireless
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.
* GPS stands for Global Positioning System. GPS satellites emit positioning signals toward
the earth, and your “WALKMAN” uses those to display your current position.

In tunnels or underground
Under elevated tracks
Between tall buildings
In dense trees
In valleys
The GPS antenna is built in to your “WALKMAN.” If you cover the antenna with your

The following are notes regarding charging.
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 your
“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 your
“WALKMAN” to malfunction. Disconnect your “WALKMAN” from the computer before
conducting those operations.
Heat may build up in your “WALKMAN” while charging. This is not a malfunction.

To enjoy better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size or adjust the earbud
position to fit your ears comfortably and snugly.
The M size earbuds are attached to the headphones before shipment. If you feel the M size
earbuds do not suit your ears, replace them with the S or L size earbuds (supplied). Confirm
the size of the earbuds by checking the color inside.
When you change the earbuds, turn them to install firmly on the headphones and prevent the
earbud from detaching and remaining in your ear.
In addition to the supplied earbuds, SS size earbuds that are smaller than S size ones are
also available (not supplied).

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.
Notes regarding the LCD screen
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 your “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.

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.
Listening for a Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of
your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer, the Consumer Electronics Association
(CEA)® and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) want you to get
the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level; a level that lets the sound come
through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without
damaging your sensitive hearing.
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 ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
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 SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WHEN WEARING YOUR
HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS:
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.
DECIBEL LEVEL EXAMPLES:
30
40
50
60
70
80
Whisper
Quiet room
Moderate rainfall
Normal conversation
Busy traffic, vacuum cleaner
Alarm clock
CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO THESE NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS:
90 Lawn mower, motorcycle
100 Chain saw
110 Rock concert
120 Jet plane takeoff
130 Jackhammer
140 Firecrackers
