SONY-YY1301B1-Digital-Media-Player-product

Product Information

This is a digital media player with the model number YY1301B1. It supports multiple languages and is compliant with EU directives and/or UK statutory requirements. The device contains a license-exempt transmitter/receiver and complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s license- exempt RSS(s).

Product Usage Instructions

To use this digital media player:

Make sure that the device is properly set up according to the instructions provided in the manual.
Power on the device.
Select your preferred language from the list of available options.
Familiarize yourself with the controls and features of the device by referring to the manual.
To play digital media, connect the device to your computer or other compatible device and follow the instructions provided in the manual.
Adjust the volume to a safe level before listening to any audio content. Refer to the list of decibel levels provided in the manual for guidance.
If you experience any issues or operational failure, refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual for assistance.

Important Information

For customers in the U.S.A., any changes or modifications not expressly approved in the manual could void the authority to operate this unit. Additionally, this unit must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
For customers in Canada, it is important to note that sound levels can be deceiving and can cause hearing damage if prolonged exposure occurs. It is recommended to set the equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
Data transmission is always initiated by software, passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this unit shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

NOTE:
This unit 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 unit 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 unit does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the unit 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 unit and receiver.
Connect the unit into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Frequency Tolerance: ±20 ppm

For customers in the U.S.A.
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 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. The unit has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

Listening for a Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® and the American Speech-Language- Hearing Association (ASHA) want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level; a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without damaging your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

Set your volume control to the lowest level where you can hear the music comfortably and clearly. Prolonged exposure to anything over 85 decibels can cause gradual hearing loss.
Once you have established a sound level where you can hear the audio comfortably, clearly and without distortion, set the dial and leave it there.
See if your music player has a volume limiter that allows you to set a safe listening level by establishing a maximum volume level on your player. This is a great solution for parents to ensure their children listen at a safe level.
Limit listening time to give your hearing “quiet breaks.”

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WHEN WEARING YOUR HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS:

Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear sounds around you.
Do not use headphones or earbuds while operating a motorized vehicle; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide years of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer, CEA, and ASHA recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. The following list of sound levels is included for your information so that you can better protect your hearing.

DECIBEL LEVEL EXAMPLES:

30 Whisper
40 Quiet room
50 Moderate rainfall
60 Normal conversation
70 Busy traffic, vacuum cleaner
80 Alarm clock

CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO THESE NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS:

90 Lawn mower, motorcycle
100 Chain saw
110 Rock concert
120 Jet plane takeoff
130 Jackhammer
140 Firecrackers
