Precautions

On BLUETOOTH® communications

• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m. The maximum communication distance may vary depending on the presence of obstacles (people, metal objects, walls, etc.) or the electromagnetic environment.

• Bluetooth communications may not be possible, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions:
  – When there is a person between the unit and the Bluetooth device. This situation may be improved by positioning the Bluetooth device so that it faces the aerial of the unit.
  – When there is an obstacle, such as a metal object or a wall, between the unit and the Bluetooth device.
  – When a Wi-Fi device or microwave oven is in use, or microwaves are emitted near the unit.
  – Compared to use indoors, use outdoors is subjected little to signal reflection from walls, floors, and ceilings, which results in audio dropout occurring more frequently than use indoors.
  – The aerial is built into the unit as indicated by the dotted line in the illustration (Fig. A). The sensitivity of the Bluetooth communications can be improved by removing any obstacles between the connected Bluetooth device and the aerial of this unit.

• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n) devices use the same frequency (2.4 GHz). When using the unit near a Wi-Fi device,  electromagnetic interference may occur, resulting in noise, audio dropout, or the inability to connect. If this happens, try performing the following remedies:
  – Establish a connection between the unit and the Bluetooth device when they are at least 10 m away from the Wi-Fi device.
  – Turn off the Wi-Fi device when using the unit within 10 m of the Wi-Fi device.
  – Position the unit and the Bluetooth device as near as possible to each other.

• 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.

• The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

• This product emits radio waves when used in wireless mode.
  When used in wireless mode on an airplane, follow flight crew directions regarding the permissible use of products in wireless mode.

• The unit supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth standard as a means of ensuring security during communication using Bluetooth wireless technology. However, depending on the configured settings and other factors, this security may not be sufficient. Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology.

• Sony shall assume no responsibility for any damages or losses resulting from information leaks that occur when using Bluetooth communications.

• Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed.
  – Bluetooth devices connected with the unit must comply with the Bluetooth standard prescribed by Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and must be certified as compliant.
  – Even when a connected device complies with the Bluetooth standard, there may be cases where the characteristics or specifications of the Bluetooth device make it unable to connect or result in different control methods, display, or operation.
  – When using the unit to perform hands-free talking on the phone, noise may occur depending on the connected device or the communication environment.

• Depending on the device to be connected, it may require some time to start communications.

If sound skips frequently during playback

• The situation may be improved by changing the wireless playback quality settings or fixing the wireless playback mode to SBC on the transmitting device. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the transmitting device.
• When listening to music from a smartphone, the situation may be improved by closing unnecessary apps or restarting the smartphone.

On the use of calling apps for smartphones and computers

• This unit supports normal incoming calls only. Calling apps for smartphones and computers are not supported.

On charging the unit

• This unit can be charged using USB only. A computer with a USB port or a USB AC adaptor is required for charging.

• Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable.

• When charging, the unit cannot be turned on and the Bluetooth function cannot be used.

• If the unit is not used for a long time, the rechargeable battery may become depleted quickly. The battery will be able to hold a proper charge after it is discharged and recharged several times. When storing the unit for a long time, charge the battery once every six months to prevent over-discharge.

• If the rechargeable battery becomes depleted extremely quickly, it should be replaced with a new one. Please contact your nearest Sony dealer for a battery replacement. If the unit does not operate properly

• Follow the procedure below to reset the unit(Fig. B).
  Press the and − buttons simultaneously while the unit is charging. The unit is reset. When the unit is reset, the pairing information in the unit is not deleted.
