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 “Saving Power Consumption (Power Save)” ( page 54) for the setting 

method.

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

rate of the audio songs that are played.

For example, a full battery charge offers about 18 hours of playing time for 

songs in ATRAC format at 48 kbps, but only about 15 hours for songs in WMA 

format at 128 kbps. The exact playing time available from a full charge varies 

with the operating conditions and environment of the player.

 The player’s built-in G Sensor recognizes speed variation and provides various 

functions. However, with the G Sensor active, battery consumption is higher 

when G Sensor active than when not. In order to save power and prolong use 

of the player, it is recommended to deactivate the G Sensor ( page 40).

When you stop song playback or FM reception (NW-S202F/S203F/S205F only) 

by pressing the  button, after about a few seconds, the display goes off 

automatically and the player enters Sleep status.

When the G Sensor menu is deactivated in Sleep status, the player consumes 

very little battery power.

 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.
