Motion playback stops after 1 track. You cannot continue playing tracks together with motion.Charging the Battery (continued)NotesThe playback times on the table may differ, depending on surrounding temperatures, operating conditions, type of music files, and type of motion.The playback times on the table are valid when the player is used at 25 °C (77 °F). The battery life will be shorter in lower temperatures, when playing either music or music with motion.When you use the player after a long interval, the playback time may be shorter than expected, because the battery cannot yet be charged to its full capacity. After the battery is fully discharged and charged several times, it can be charged to its full capacity.If the playback time becomes about half of the normal length of time, even if it is charged sufficiently, the useful life of the battery has run out. Replace the battery with a new one.Getting Started

SEP-30BT 3-870-834-11(1)66SEP-30BT 3-870-834-11(1)67 Others Bluetooth Wireless TechnologyBluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology linking digital devices, such as personal computers and digital still cameras. Using the Bluetooth wireless technology, you can operate the units involved within a range of about 10 meters (30 feet). The Bluetooth wireless technology is commonly used between two devices, but a single device can be connected to multiple devices. You do not need wires to get connected as you do with a USB connection, and you do not need to place the devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared technology. You can use the technology with one Bluetooth device in your bag or pocket. Bluetooth wireless technology is a global standard supported by thousands of companies. These companies produce products that meet the global standard. Supported Bluetooth version and profiles Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various Bluetooth product capabilities. This system supports the following Bluetooth version and profiles. Supported Bluetooth version: Bluetooth Standard version 2.0 Supported Bluetooth profiles: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)SPP (Serial Port Profile)Effective communication rangeBluetooth devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (30 feet) (unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective communication range may become shorter under the following conditions. When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the devices with a Bluetooth connection Locations where a wireless LAN is installed Around microwave ovens that are in use Locations where other electromagnetic waves occurEffects of other devicesBluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth device near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may occur. This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies:Try connecting this player and a Bluetooth device when you are at least 10 meters (30 feet) away from the wireless LAN equipment.Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your Bluetooth device within 10 meters (30 feet).Effects on other devicesThe radio waves broadcast by this system may interfere with the operation of some medical devices. Since this interference may result in malfunction, always turn off the power on this player and a Bluetooth device in the following locations:In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place where flammable gasses may be presentNear automatic doors or fire alarmsNotesThis player supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth specification as a means of ensuring security during communication using Bluetooth technology. However, this security may be insufficient depending on the setting contents and other factors, so always be careful when performing communication using Bluetooth technology.Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss resulting from information leaks during communication using Bluetooth technology.continued 
