Notes on charging the battery
The battery of your Walkman is recharged while the Walkman is connected to a running computer using the USB cable (supplied).
When the remaining battery indication in the upper right corner of the display shows 
, charging is completed. (Charging time is approx. 3 hours.)
When you use your Walkman for the first time, or if you have not used the Walkman for a long
time, recharge it fully (to 
in the remaining battery indication of the display).
Hint
Using the [Battery Care] mode shortens usage time at one time but you can extend the battery lifespan [Details].
Note
When charging is complete, the screen will turn off.
About the battery indicator
The battery indicator in the information area shows the remaining battery charge.
Charge the battery when the battery indicator flashes. See [Details] on battery duration.
Notes on charging the battery
If you charge your Walkman when it has not been used for a long period, your computer may not recognize it, or nothing may appear on the display. Charge the Walkman for about 5 minutes, after which it should start operating normally again.
Charge the battery in an ambient temperature of between 5 °C to 35 °C (41 ºF to 95 ºF). If
you try to charge the battery in an ambient temperature outside this range, the 
icon may appear, and charging cannot be performed.
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 inoperative while it is connected to a computer.
