Precautions

The two-dimensional code or the URL on the cover will help you access the help guide that describes useful notes or procedures in detail. On BLUETOOTH® communications

  • Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident: – in hospitals, near priority seating in trains, locations where inflammable gas is present, near automatic doors, or near fire alarms.
  • The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

On charging the unit

  • Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable.
  • After charging is complete, disconnect the USB Type-C cable.
  • While connecting the USB cable, do not apply excessive force to the connection part.
  • When connecting or disconnecting the USB cable, do not apply excessive force, such as by pulling the cable, and connect or disconnect the connector straight to the port to be connected.
  • If the USB cable connector is deformed, such as by it being bent, stop use immediately.

Notes on wearing the unit

  • After use, remove the headphones slowly.
  • Because the headphones achieve a tight seal over the ears, forcibly pressing them against your ears or quickly pulling them off can result in eardrum damage. Pressing the headphones against your ears may cause the speaker’s diaphragm to produce a clicking sound. This is not a malfunction.

Other notes

  • Do not apply weight or pressure to the unit for long periods, including when it is stored, as it may cause deformation.
  • If you experience discomfort while using the unit, stop using it immediately.
  • Be careful that the boom microphone does not hit your eyes while wearing, removing, and using the unit.
  • If you have any questions or problems concerning this unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
