(*1) Charging time is approx. 2 hours. When charging is completed, disconnect your Walkman from the USB connector of your computer.
(*2) If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode, the screen of your Walkman may turn off. In this case, the Walkman consumes battery power.
Hint
Depending on the computer, changing the settings of the Sleep or Hibernation mode varies. Refer to the manufacturer.
When you use your Walkman for the first time, or if you have not used the Walkman for a
long time, recharge it fully (until the battery charge indicator displays 
).
Note
When charging by the optional AC power adaptor, soon after charging is completed and 
is displayed, the screen turns off. Press any button, or disconnect the AC power adaptor to return to the normal screen.
