On water resistant performance of the unit
With the cap securely closed, this unit has a water resistant performance equivalent to IPX4, which is a “protection against ingress of water” rating defined by IEC 60529 “Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)” for electrical equipment.
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 maintain water resistant 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. Do not put the unit in the water or directly under the water gushing out of the faucet to avoid 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 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 performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the unit as a result of water entering the unit. SONY YY7861E Wireless Neckband Speaker - Fig 1

On placement

To eliminate the risk of malfunctions, avoid the following locations when placing or leaving this unit.
– A place subject to high temperatures, such as under direct sunlight or lighting equipment, near a heat source, or in a sauna
– Inside a vehicle with the windows closed (especially in summertime)
– A place where cosmetics, such as a sunscreen, as well as chemical products, such as a bug spray, are stored
Place this unit on a flat, level surface. When placed on a sloped surface, the unit may fall over or fall off the surface due to its own vibration, resulting in injuries, malfunctions, or performance degradation.
This unit is not anti-magnetic. Keep objects susceptible to magnetism (recorded tapes, watches, cash cards and credit cards with magnetic coding, etc.) away from the unit. When you carry around the unit, keep this in mind as well.

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.

Keep the unit from being exposed to chemical ingredients of a product, such as a bug spray or a tanning oil. When the unit is soiled on the surface, remove the soil by gently dabbing at it with a dry, soft cloth or a well-wrung cloth dipped in tap or lukewarm water before the surface is stained with the soil. Depending on the type of soils, however, this may fail to remove the soil.

Note

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, do not use detergent, thinner, benzine, etc. to clean the unit because it will affect the water repellent function of the unit.
If sand grains, etc. enter the fabric or other part of the unit, remove them carefully. Never use a vacuum cleaner, etc. on the unit. It may cause damage of the speaker section or other part of the unit.
