• The operation indicator (R) lights (red) during charging and goes out when charging finishes.

A USB charging cord (supplied)
B USB AC adaptor, etc.

Charging time
Approx. 4.0 hours

• When using a USB AC adaptor (optional) that is capable of supplying an output current of 1500 mA at 5 V DC
• Ambient temperature 25 oC (77 oF)/When recharging a fully discharged battery

Note:

• When using a USB AC adapter first connect the SC-GNW10 to the charger, then plug the charger into the AC power source.
• Use a USB AC adaptor that is capable of supplying an output current of at least 1500 mA at 5 V DC. It is also possible to use a device that has an output current of less than 1500 mA, but it may not be able to charge correctly.
• Charging by connecting the supplied USB cable to the USB port that supports USB charging on a computer is also possible. However, this operation is not guaranteed on all computers.
• Charging may not be performed or may stop if the computer is in or switched to standby or sleep mode.
• Do not use any other USB charging cord except the one which is supplied. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• The built-in rechargeable battery may deteriorate if it is not used for long periods, so recharge once every 6 months.
• The volume reduces if you use the SC-GNW10 with the USB cable connected.

Battery level notification

• When the battery level drops to 20 %, the operation indicator (R) blinks (red) and an operation tone sounds.
• When you press and hold the [ ] button while the SC-GNW10 is on, you can see the remaining battery charge with the operation indicators.

Connecting the transmitter

Connect the transmitter to your game console’s/PC’s USB port. This device supports PC, PS4/PS5 Nintendo Switch. This device does not support Xbox.
