This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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.

This unit must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

For customers in Canada

This unit contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This unit may not cause interference; and
  2. This unit must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the unit.

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.

High volume may adversely affect your hearing.
Do not use the unit while walking, driving, or cycling. Doing so may cause traffic accidents.
Do not use in hazardous areas unless the surrounding sound can be heard.

If water or foreign matter enters the unit, it may result in fire or electric shock. If water or foreign matter enters the unit, stop use immediately and consult your nearest Sony dealer. In particular, be careful in the following cases.

  • When using the unit near a sink or liquid container Be careful that the unit does not fall into a sink or container filled with water.
  • When using the unit in the rain or snow, or in humid locations

For details on the effects of contact with the human body from the mobile phone or other wireless devices connected to the unit, refer to the instruction manual of the wireless device.

If the earbud tips are not securely attached, they may fall off and remain inside the ear during use. Make sure that the earbud tips are securely attached before use.

Never insert the USB plug when the unit or charging cable is wet. If the USB plug is inserted while the 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 unit or charging cable, and cause abnormal heat generation or malfunction.

This product has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices. Do not place this product close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use any such medical device.

This product has magnet(s). Swallowing magnet(s) could cause serious harm, such as choking hazard or intestinal injuries. If magnets (or a magnet) were swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. Keep this product away from children or other supervised individuals to prevent accidental ingestion.

There is a danger that this unit or its small parts may be swallowed. After use, store the unit in the charging case and store in a location out of reach of small children.

Note about static electricity

If you use the unit when the air is dry, you may experience discomfort due to static electricity accumulated on your body. This is not a malfunction of the unit. You can reduce the effect by wearing clothes made of natural materials that do not easily generate static electricity

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 details.

On water resistant of the unit

  • The charging case is not water resistant.
  • Unless the unit is used correctly, water may get into the unit and cause fire, electrocution, or malfunctions. Note the following cautions carefully and use the unit correctly.

To maintain water resistant performance

Carefully note the precautions below to ensure proper use of the unit.

  • Do not splash water forcibly into the sound output holes.
  • Do not drop the unit into water, and do not use underwater.
  • Do not allow the unit to remain wet in a cold environment, as the water may freeze. To prevent malfunction, make sure to wipe off any water after use.
  • Do not place the unit in water or use it in a humid place such as a bathroom.
  • Do not drop the unit or expose it to mechanical shock. Doing so may deform or damage the unit, resulting in deterioration of water resistance performance.

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.

On charging the unit

  • Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause fire, burns, injury, or electric shock.
    • Do not attach metallic objects (such as stickers made of materials containing metal) to the wireless charger or the unit.
    • When using wireless charging, remove the cover attached to the charging case, and do not place metallic objects (such as straps or clips containing metal) on the wireless charger.
    • If something unusual occurs during wireless charging, such as unusual odor, unusual sound, smoke, overheating, or deformation, carefully and safely remove the unit from the wireless charger.
  • When you have medical electric devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators implanted, consult your doctor before using the wireless charging pad. Radio waves may affect the operations of the medical electric devices.
  • Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable.

Notes on wearing the unit

  • After use, remove the headphones slowly.
  • Because the earbud tips achieve a tight seal in the ears, forcibly pressing them in or quickly pulling them out can result in eardrum damage. When wearing the earbud tips, the speaker diaphragm may produce a click sound. This is not a malfunction.

On the earbud tips (Noise Isolation Earbud tips)

  • Earbud tips are fitted within the ear, so there is an increased risk of irritation of the ear canal. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use.
  • Earbud tips are consumables and may deteriorate or break after long-term use and storage. If the tips deteriorate or become damaged, the audio performance such as sound quality and noise canceling will become compromised. Replace them regularly. Also, if an earbud tip becomes damaged, such as cracking, peeling, chipping, or mesh becomes torn, the earbud tip or part of it may remain in your ear and cause injury or illness. If you see any damage, be sure to replace the tip.
  • Avoid washing with water, wet wipes, and the use of organic solvents such as alcohol, as these can cause premature deterioration.

Other notes

  • If you experience discomfort while using the unit, stop using it immediately.
  • If you have any questions or problems concerning this unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
