Repeated battery charging

The player’s battery uses a technology that is not subject to “memory effect.” Charging a battery that is not completely discharged does not reduce the battery’s capacity.

Notes

•To charge the battery, connect the player to a wall outlet using the supplied AC power adaptor** and USB cable or using the optional charging cradle.

•For best results, charge the battery in an environment of between 5 to 35ºC (41 to 95ºF).

•The battery indicator on the display is only an estimate. For example, one section of black in the indicator will not always indicate exactly one-fourth of the battery’s charge.

•The accuracy of the battery indicator on the display may vary depending on the operating conditions and environment of the player.

•If you connect the player to the AC power adaptor while a track is playing, playback pauses, an animation is displayed, and the HOME menu appears.

•The battery can be charged from empty approximately 500 times. The actual number of charges possible in the battery’s lifetime varies, depending on the condition of the player and battery.

**Depending on your country and region, an AC power adaptor and AC cord may not be supplied with the player. Use the dedicated AC power adaptor (optional).
