state. (*1)
(*1) If the computer enters a power saving mode such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode while your
Walkman is connected via the USB cradle (supplied), the battery of the Walkman will not be charged.
Instead, the Walkman continues to draw power from the battery, discharging it.
Hint
The procedure to cancel Sleep mode or Hibernation mode may vary depending on the
computer. Please contact the manufacturer of your computer for details.

The USB cradle (supplied) is not water resistant. Before charging the battery, make sure your
Walkman is not wet.
[Details]

try to charge the battery in an ambient temperature outside this range, it will not properly
charge. In such a case, the OPR lamp blinks red.
The number of times the battery can be recharged before it is used up is approximately 500
times. This number may vary depending on the conditions under which you use your
Walkman.
The control buttons on your Walkman become inoperatable while connected to a computer.
To prevent battery deterioration, charge the battery at an interval of at least every six months
to a year.
If the computer enters a power saving mode such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode while
your Walkman is connected via the USB cradle (supplied), the battery of the Walkman will not
be charged. Instead, the Walkman continues to draw power from the battery, discharging it.
