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.

Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity

Trade Name: ………….. SONY
Model:……………………….. YY7856E
Responsible Party: ……………..Sony Electronics Inc.
Address:………………….. 16535 Via Esprillo, San Diego, CA 92127 U.S.A.
Telephone Number:………………….. 858-942-2230
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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 absolutely 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/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
Never insert the USB plug when the main unit or charging cable is wet. If the USB plug is inserted while the main unit or charging cable is wet, a short circuit may occur due to liquid (tap water, seawater, soft drink, etc.) or foreign matter on the main unit or charging cable, and cause abnormal heat generation or malfunction.

Notes on waterproof and dustproof features
(Read before using the unit)
The supplied accessories are neither waterproof nor dustproof.
Waterproof and dustproof performance of the unit The unit, with the cap fastened securely, has a waterproof specification of IPX7 as specified in “Degree of protection against water immersion” of the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)”, and a dustproof specification of IP6X as specified in “Degrees of protection against solid
foreign objects”.

The supplied accessories and the connectors of this unit (USB) are neither water resistant nor dustproof. To reduce the risk of fires or electric shocks, do not expose the unit to water or droplets while using any connectors (USB).

Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion or dust intrusion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.
To avoid the deterioration of waterproof and dustproof performance Carefully note the precautions below to ensure proper use of the unit.

This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the unit in a location where high water pressure is applied, such as in the shower, may cause a malfunction.
Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the unit directly. Also never use the unit in a place subject to high temperatures, such as in a sauna or near a heat source.

CAUTION : Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant and dustproof performance. When using the unit, make sure that the cap is closed completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not closed completely the water resistant and dustproof performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the unit as a result of water or dust particles entering the unit.

How to care for the unit

You can use the unit more comfortably and for a longer period of time by following the maintenance procedure below.

If the surface of the unit gets dirty in the following cases, wash the unit with fresh water (tap water, etc.) promptly to remove the dirt. Leaving dirt on its surface may cause the surface to discolor or deteriorate, or the unit to malfunction. Ex.
– When salt, sand, etc. is stuck on the unit after using it on a beach, pool side, etc.
– When the unit is stained with foreign substances (sunscreen, suntan oil, etc.)
The sound quality may change when water enters the speaker or passive radiator section of the unit. It is not malfunction. Wipe off the moisture on its surface, and put the unit on a dry soft cloth to drain the collected water inside the unit. Then, dry the unit in an airy place until no moisture remains.

Note

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, do not use detergent, thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. to clean the unit because it will affect the water repellent function of the unit.
Especially in cold regions, be sure to wipe off the moisture after using the unit. Leaving moisture on its surface may cause the unit to freeze and malfunction.
