While pressing the gray buttons on both sides, 
push the USB adaptor inward, and then pull 
it outward.

Turn on your computer and connect the USB 
cable to your computer (

 page 14). The 

CHG lamp lights up on the USB adaptor 
and charging of the battery starts. It takes 
approximately 5 hours to charge. When the 
player is connected to the AC power adaptor, 
the power is supplied from the AC power 
adaptor.

•  When charging the battery using a USB 

connection, if your computer’s power supply is 
insuffi cient, the charging time will be longer.

•  When charging the battery using a USB 

connection, the charging will stop depending on 
your system environment.

•  If the player is connected to the computer for 

a long time while charging, charging may stop 
to prevent the temperature of the player from 
increasing too much. In this case, the CHG lamp 
goes out. Remove the USB adaptor from the 
player and start charging again after a while.

•  If the player will not be used for three months or 

more, set the BUILT-IN BATTERY switch to OFF 
to prevent degradation of the battery.

•  Charge the battery in an ambient temperature of 

between 5 to 35ºC (41 to 95ºF).

• Use only the AC power adaptor and the 

USB adaptor supplied with the player. Do 
not use any other AC power adaptor since 
this may cause the player to malfunction.

• The player is not disconnected from the 

AC power source (mains) as long as it is 
connected to the wall outlet, even if the 
player itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a 

long time, be sure to disconnect the power 
supply. To remove the AC power adaptor 
from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor plug 
itself; never pull the cord.

The remaining power of the battery is 
indicated in the display. As the black indicator 
section decreases, the remaining power is 
depleted further.

may increase or decrease relative to the actual 
power remaining.
