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.

•  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).
