By following a few simple guidelines, you can extend the playing time available 

from a battery charge.

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 “Setting to the Power Save Screen (Power Save Mode)” ( page 60) for the 

setting method.

The playing time varies, as battery charge can be affected by the format and bit 

rate of the audio files that are played.

For example, a full battery charge offers about 50 hours of playing time for 

songs in ATRAC format at 132 kbps, but only about 40 hours for songs in 

WMA format at 128 kbps (For NW-S603/S605, or when the Noise Canceling 

function is set to “OFF” for NW-S703F/S705F/S706F). For details, see “Battery 

life (continuous playback)” ( page 110). The exact playing time available 

from a full charge varies with the operating conditions and environment of the 

player.

If you press the  button to stop playback or receiving an FM broadcast 

(NW-S703F/S705F/S706F only), the display disappears and the player enters 

the Sleep status automatically after a few seconds. The batteries are consumed a 

little in the Sleep status.

 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.
