Preparing the Player
Charging the Player
The player’s battery is recharged while the player is connected to a running 
computer.
When you connect the player to your computer, use 
the supplied USB cable. When you insert the 
connector of the USB cable into the player, do so with 
the   mark facing up.
When the remaining battery indication of the display shows: 
, charging is 
completed (charging time is approx. 3 hours).
When you use the player for the first time, or if you have not used the player 
for a long time, recharge it fully (to 
 in the remaining battery indication of 
the display).
Recharging the player
The battery icon in the display changes as shown below. See  page 129 o
battery duration.
As the battery power gets lower, the bar of the icon decreases. If “LOW 
BATTERY. Please Charge.” appears, you cannot use the player. In this case, 
charge the battery by connecting to your computer.
Notes
 Charge the battery in an ambient temperature of between 5 to 35 ºC (41 to 95 ºF).
 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 the 
player.
 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.
 “Do not disconnect.” appears in the display while the player accesses the computer. Do 
not disconnect the supplied USB cable while “Do not disconnect.” appears or the data 
being transferred may be damaged.
 The control buttons on the player are all disabled while it is connected to a computer.
 Some USB devices connected to the computer may interfere with the proper operation 
of the player.
 We do not guarantee the recharge of the battery using personally assembled computers 
or modified computers.
 If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the sleep or hibernation mode, 
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.
