In order to comply with FCC radio-frequency radiation exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled exposure, this device and its antenna
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
If the Reader causes interference to radio or television reception, turn the Reader off and move it away from the radio or television.
Refrain from using the Reader according to the in-flight announcements during take off or landing in an aircraft.
Do not drop, or put any heavy object on top of the Reader or apply a strong shock to the Reader. It may cause a malfunction or damage.
Never subject the Reader to extremes of light, temperature, moisture or vibration.
If part of the Reader that generates heat contacts your skin for a prolonged period, you may suffer from symptom of burn, such as
redness, swelling, even if temperature is moderate. Avoid prolonged contact, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Do not leave the Reader on an unstable surface.
Do not poke people using the supplied stylus.
Do not treat or use the supplied stylus roughly, such as bending it, or scratching the touchscreen with it.
Use the supplied stylus only for touchscreen operations.
Do not use the stylus if it is damaged or deformed.
If any object is placed on the touchscreen, it may cause a malfunction. When not in use, leave the Reader in sleep mode, or turn it off.
When using the Reader internationally, it is your responsibility to ensure that the Reader is used in compliance with the following
specifications:
● AC voltage
● Wireless products regulations
● Other safety regulations or requirements
Be sure not to short-circuit the terminals of the Reader with metallic objects.
Never leave the Reader exposed to high temperature, such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.
Avoiding water and moisture
●
●
Note that condensation may form temporarily in cases such as when the player is moved quickly from a low-temperature environment to
a high temperature environment or used in a room that has a heater just turned on. Condensation creates a phenomenon where
moisture in the air adheres to surfaces such as metal panels, etc., and then changes to liquid. If condensation forms in the Reader, leave
it turned off until the condensation disappears. If you use the Reader with condensation present, a malfunction may result.
The Reader is not waterproof. Remember to follow the precautions below.
● Be careful not to drop the Reader into a sink or other container filled with water.
● Do not use the Reader in humid locations or bad weather, such as in the rain or snow.
● Do not get the Reader wet.
If you touch the Reader with wet hands, or put the Reader in a damp article of clothing, the Reader may get wet and this may cause a
malfunction.
Charging the Reader
●
●
●
●
Heat may build up in the Reader while charging, or if it is used for an extended period of time.
Use the supplied USB cable or the optional AC adapter (PRSA-AC10/PRSA-AC1A, not supplied) only. Do not use other USB cable and
AC adapter.
Never wrap the Reader in anything when it is being charged. Heat build-up in the Reader may cause malfunction or damage.
If the battery quickly runs out of power after being fully charged, it may be reaching the end of its life and should be replaced. Consult
Sony support center.
Road safety
Do not use headphones (not supplied) while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play at a high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should
exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using the headphones (not supplied) at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

PRS-T1 | Safety Information | Reader™ User Guide
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
Warning for headphones (not supplied)
If lightning occurs while you are using the Reader, take off your headphones (not supplied) immediately.
Wi-Fi connectivity
The Wireless LAN functionality has passed Wi-Fi certification and complies with the interoperability specifications established by WFA (Wi-Fi
Alliance).
Cleaning the Reader
●
●
●
●
●
Clean the Reader with a soft cloth, such as a cleaning cloth for eyeglasses.
If the Reader becomes very dirty, clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene, as it may mar the finish of the case.
Wipe the stylus with a dry cloth when it gets dirty. Tapping or dragging on the touchscreen using a dirty stylus may damage the surface.
Be sure to keep the Reader away from water or spills.
Touchscreen
●
●
●
Do not apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen. The color or lighting may become blurred or uneven, and the Reader may become
damaged.
When using the Reader in a cold environment, thin lines may appear on the touchscreen. This is not a malfunction.
The outside cover of the touchscreen is made of glass. This glass could break if the Reader is dropped on a hard surface or receives a
substantial impact. It could also be damaged by scratching and abrasion while being carried in a bag. If you are concerned about
damages to the touchscreen, you can use a protective case (sold separately).
Wireless feature
●
●
●
●
Turn off the wireless feature when you are in a location in which radio communications are prohibited. When you are in such a location,
you must obtain permission from the appropriate authorities before enabling the wireless feature of this device.
Turn off the wireless feature in health care facilities where any regulations posted in such areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may be using equipment that could be effected by radio frequency (RF) energy which is generated by wireless
communication.
Do not use your Reader near medical equipment without first obtaining permission to do so.
General notes on using the Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN) function.
In some countries or regions, use of Wi-Fi products may be restricted by the local regulations (e.g. limited number of channels).

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.

Declaration of Conformity
Trade Name: SONY
Model No.: PRS-T1
Responsible Party: Sony Electronics Inc.
Address: 16530 Via Esprillo, San Diego, CA 92127 U.S.A
Telephone Number: 858-942-2230
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 of the device.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
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. PRS-T1 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. The maximum SAR levels tested for PRS-T1 has been shown to be 0.897 W/kg at Body.
