Maximizing Battery Life

By following a few simple guidelines, you can extend the playing time 
available from a battery charge.

Screen display auto-off

Setting the display to turn off after a certain period of time of not using the 
player (approx. 15 seconds), can help to save battery power.
See 

“

Saving Power Consumption (Power Save Mode)” ( page 41) for the 

setting method.

Adjust track format and bit rate

The playing time varies, as battery charge can be affected by the format and bit 
rate of the audio tracks that are played.
For example, a full battery charge offers about 45 hours of playing time for 
tracks in ATRAC format at 48 kbps, but only about 40 hours for tracks in MP3 
format at 128 kbps. The exact playing time available from a full charge varies 
with the operating conditions and environment of the player.

Do not let your computer sleep when the player is connected

If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the system suspend, sleep 
or hibernation while the player is connected via the USB cable, the player’s 
battery is not charged. Instead, the player continues to draw power from the 
battery, discharging it.

•  Do not leave the player connected for extended periods to a laptop computer that is not 

connected to AC power, because the player may discharge the computer’s battery.
