BLUETOOTH® capabilities

devices such as headphones or speakers.

You can also listen to music stored on your smartphone or computer

through the Walkman. Refer to the “Help Guide” for details on using the

Bluetooth function.

I I

Pairing (first time the device is used)

When you connect Bluetooth audio devices wirelessly for the first time,

the devices must be registered to each other. This registration is called

“pairing.”

1. Set the Bluetooth audio device to pairing mode. (Refer to the

device’s instruction manual.)

2. Tap – [ Settings] – [Connect to/Add Audio Device] under

[Bluetooth].

3. Tap the Bluetooth switch ( ) to turn on the Bluetooth function.

4. Tap [Add Device (Pairing)] to start pairing.

5. Select the device from the paired device list to make the Bluetooth

connection.

After the Bluetooth connection is established, [Connected] is

displayed.

Connecting (subsequent uses)

1. Turn on the paired Bluetooth audio device and set it to standby.

2. Tap – [ Settings] – [Connect to/Add Audio Device] under

[Bluetooth].

3. Tap the Bluetooth switch ( ) to turn on the Bluetooth function.

4. Select the device from the paired device list to make the Bluetooth

connection.

Disconnecting

1. Tap – [ Settings] – [Connect to/Add Audio Device] under

[Bluetooth].

2. Tap the connecting device name on the paired device list, and tap

[OK] on the disconnection dialog.

Note

• Pairing information is deleted in the following situations. Pair the devices again.

– One or both of the devices are reset to the factory settings.

– Pairing information is deleted from the devices, such as when the devices are

repaired.

Troubleshooting

Your Walkman cannot charge the battery or is not recognized on

your computer.

• The USB cable (supplied) is not connected to a USB connector

on your computer properly. Disconnect the USB cable, and then

reconnect it.

• The charge lamp on the Walkman lights up in orange while the

battery is charging, and goes off when the charging is completed.

• When you use your Walkman for the first time, or if you have not

used the Walkman for a long time, it may take a few minutes to be

recognized by the computer. Check that the computer recognizes the

Walkman after you have connected it to the computer for about 10

minutes.

Compliance & Information

Information on laws and trademarks

• For information on laws, regulations, and trademark rights, refer to

“Important Information” in the internal memory of your unit.

To read it, open the following folders in the system storage after you

connect the unit to your computer.

[WALKMAN] - [Information_HelpGuide] - [Important_Information]

After you double-click the [index.html] file, select a language.

• The N-Mark is a trademark or registered trademark of NFC Forum, Inc.

in the United States and in other countries.

About the in-ear headphones

• When you use in-ear headphones with a high degree of adhesion,

note the following. Otherwise, you may damage your ears or

eardrums.

– Do not insert the earbuds forcefully into your ears.

– Do not remove the earbuds from your ears suddenly. When you

take off the headphones, move the earbuds up and down gently.

About the headphones

• Avoid playing the unit at so loud a volume that extended play might

affect your hearing.

• At a high volume outside sounds may become inaudible. Avoid

listening to the unit in situations where hearing must not be

impaired, for example, while driving or cycling.

• As the headphones are of open-air design, sounds go out through

the headphones. Remember not to disturb those close to you.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

For purchases made

the product,

Your

purchase and/or

use

of the product, the terms of this Limited

Warranty, or any service provided under the terms of this

Lim

ited Warranty (including any repair or replacement) ("Dispute"),

You

the

Dispute

shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU ARE

GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) IN ANY DISPUTES IN COURT.

You

also agree that ANY

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL ONLY CONSIDER YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS, AND BOTH PARTIES AGREE NOT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE

HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Despite the above,

You

have

the right

to

litigate any Dispute

on

an

individual basis

in

small claims court or other similar court of limited jurisdiction, to the extent the amount

at

issue does

not exceed $15,000, and

as

long as such court has proper jurisdiction and all other requirements (including the amount

in

controversy) are satisfied.

Arbitration Instructions.

To

begin Arbitration, either

You

or Sony must

make

a written demand

to

the other for arbitration.The Arbitration

will

take place before a single

arbitrator. The arbitration will

be

administered

in

keeping with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules

and

the Supplementary Proceedings

for

Consumer-Related disputes ("Rules") of

the

American Arbitration Association ("

AAA

"),

when

applicable

and

in

effect

when

the claim

is

filed.

You

may

get a copy

of

AAA's Rules

by

contacting

AAA

at (800) 778-7879

or

visiting www.adr.org.The filing

fees

to

begin and carry out arbitration

will

be

shared between

You

and

Sony,

but

in

no

event

shall

Your

fees ever exceed

the

amount allowable

by

the

special

rules

for Consumers Disputes provided for

by

AAA

,

at

which point Sony

will

cover

all

additional administrative fees and expenses. This does not prohibit

the

Arbitrator from giving

the

winning party their fees and expenses of the arbitration when

appropriate pursuant

to

the

Rules. Unless

You

and

Sony agree differently,

the

arbitration will take place

in

the county

and

state where

You

live, and applicable federal

or

state law shall govern the substance of any Dispute during

the

arbitration. However, the Federal Arbitration

Act,

9 U.S.C.§ 1, et

seq

.,

will

govern the arbitration itself

and

not

any state law

on

arbitration.The Arbitrator's decision

will

be

binding and final, except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration

Act.
