Charging the system
The system contains a lithium ion rechargeable battery, which should be charged before
using the system for the first time. You can use the speaker while charging the battery.
System requirements for battery charge using USB
Personal Computer with pre-installed with any of the following operating systems and USB
port:
Operating Systems
(when using Windows)
Windows® 7
Home Basic / Home Premium / Professional / Ultimate
Windows Vista® (Service Pack 2 or later)
Home Basic / Home Premium / Business / Ultimate
Windows® XP (Service Pack 3 or later)
Home Edition / Professional / Media Center Edition 2004 / Media Center Edition 2005
(when using Macintosh)
Mac OS X (version 10.3 or later)
Charging the system
1. Open the jack cover of the system.
2. Connect the supplied micro-USB cable to the system, and then connect the other end
to a computer.
Make sure that you connect the plug of the micro-USB cable in the direction as shown
in the illustration below.
Charging starts when the system and the computer are connected.
Make sure that the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) lights up. Charging is completed in about 3
hours* and the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) goes off automatically.
* Time required to charge the empty battery to its full capacity
Notes
If the system is not used for a long time, the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) may not light
up when you connect the micro-USB cable to charge the system. In this case, do not
disconnect the micro-USB cable from the system and wait until the BATT/CHG indicator
(orange) lights up.
15

By connecting the system to a computer via USB, you can charge the system, but
cannot play music.
TipTo charge the system from an AC outlet, use a USB Charging AC Power Adaptor (sold
separately). For details, refer to the manuals supplied with the USB Charging AC Power
Adaptor.
Caution
If the system detects a problem while charging, the BATT/CHG indicator (orange) may turn
off, although charging is not complete.
Check for the following causes:
Ambient temperature exceeds the range of 5 °C – 35 °C (41 °F – 95 °F).
There is a problem with the battery.
In this case, charge again within the above-mentioned temperature range. If the problem
persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes
Charging time varies depending on conditions of use of the battery.
Charge the system in the ambient temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and
95 °F).
Charging the system using the computer you assembled or converted is not guaranteed
to work.
If you connect the system to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power source,
the laptop computer battery will discharge faster than normal.
The system will get warm during charging. This is not a malfunction.
Even if you do not intend to use the system for a long time, charge the battery to its full
capacity once every 6 months to maintain its performance.
If the system is not used for a long time, it may take longer to charge the battery.
If the life of the built-in rechargeable battery drops to half the normal length, the battery
should be replaced. Consult your nearest Sony dealer for replacement of the
rechargeable battery.
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or
mechanical shock. Never leave the system in a car parked in the sun.
Use the supplied micro-USB cable only, and connect directly to a computer. Charging
will not be completed properly by an indirect connection, such as via a USB hub.
Battery life (when using the BLUETOOTH connection)
About 5 hours
Time stated above may vary, depending on ambient temperature or conditions of use.
When the battery is almost empty
The BATT/CHG indicator (orange) flashes. When the battery becomes empty, the system
turns off automatically.
Auto power off function
If the system is left in any of the following conditions for more than 20 minutes, it turns off
automatically.
No BLUETOOTH connection has been established between the system and the
smartphone or mobile phone.
No music (audio) is played, when the system is connected to a BLUETOOTH device
without a communication function, such as a “Walkman.”

What is BLUETOOTH wireless technology?
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless
data communication between digital devices, such as a computer and digital camera.
BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 30 ft).
Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to
multiple devices at the same time.
You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one
another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device
in a bag or pocket.
BLUETOOTH standard is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all
over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.
Maximum communication range
Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between the system and
BLUETOOTH device.
A wireless LAN device is in use near the system.
A microwave oven is in use near the system.
A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near the system.
Interference from other devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency,
microwave interference may occur and resulting in communication speed deterioration,
noise, or invalid connection if the system is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a
case, perform the following.
Use the system at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN device.
If the system is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the
wireless LAN device.
Interference to other devices
Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic
medical devices. Turn off the system and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following
locations, as it may cause an accident.
where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station
near automatic doors or a fire alarm
Notes
To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be connected
requires the same profile as the system’s.
Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may vary in function depending on
their specifications.
Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, the sound played on the
system is slightly delayed from the sound played on the BLUETOOTH device during
talking on the telephone or listening to the music.
This system supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard
to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but
security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating
using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
17

We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during BLUETOOTH
communication.
A device featuring the BLUETOOTH function is required to conform to the BLUETOOTH
standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be authenticated.
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.
Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with
the system, the communication environment or the usage environment.
