On power
DC 3.7V : the built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery
DC 5.0V :  when charged using USB

Rated current consumption : 500mA

On safety
Do not operate the unit while driving, cycling or operating any motorized 
vehicle.

On handling
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject 

to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the battery 

and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any 
further.

• When using your linear PCM recorder, remember to follow the 

precautions below in order to avoid warping the cabinet or causing the 
linear PCM recorder to malfunction.

 

– Do not sit down with the linear PCM recorder in your back pocket.

 

– Do not put your linear PCM recorder into a bag with the headphones/

earphones cord wrapped around it and subject the bag to strong impact.

• Be careful not to allow water to splash on the unit. The unit is not 

waterproof. In particular, be careful in the following situations.

 

– When you have the unit in your pocket and go to the bathroom, etc.

When you bend down, the unit may drop into the water and may get 
wet.

 

– When you use the unit in an environment where the unit is exposed to 

rain, snow, or humidity.

 

– In circumstances where you get sweaty. If you touch the unit with wet 

hands or if you put the unit in the pocket of sweaty clothes, the unit may 
get wet.

• Listening with this unit at high volume may affect your hearing. 
• For traffic safety, do not use this unit while driving or cycling.
• Do not use this unit at a place where the inability to hear surrounding 

sounds may present a danger.

• You may feel pain in your ears if you use the headphones when the 

ambient air is very dry.
This is not because of a malfunction of the headphones, but because of 
static electricity accumulated in your body. You can reduce static electricity 
by wearing non-synthetic clothes that prevent the emergence of static 
electricity.

On noise
• Noise may be heard when the unit is placed near an AC power source, a 

fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during recording or playback.

• Noise may be recorded when an object, such as your finger, etc., rubs or 

scratches the unit during recording.

On maintenance
To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water. Then use a 
soft dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult 
your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on the Bluetooth function
• Bluetooth wireless technology allows connection at a distance of up to 

about 10 m (33 feet). However, the effective range may vary depending on 
obstructions (people, metals, walls, etc.) or signal status.

• Because Bluetooth and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) devices use the 

same frequency (2.4 GHz), signal interference may occur, resulting in 
communication speed decrease, noise, or inability to connect, if Bluetooth 
communications are used near a wireless LAN device. In such cases, take 
the following measures.

 

– Perform Bluetooth communications at least 10 m (33 feet) away from the 

wireless LAN device when connecting your linear PCM recorder and a 
Bluetooth device.

 

– Place your linear PCM recorder and the Bluetooth device as close 

together as possible.

 

– Turn off the wireless LAN device when performing Bluetooth 

communications within about 10 m (33 feet) of a wireless LAN device.

• Radio waves emitted from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of 

equipment such as electronic medical devices. Turn off your linear PCM 
recorder and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations as failure 
to do so may cause an accident.

 

– In hospitals, near priority seats on trains, in airplanes, in places such as 

gasoline stations where flammable gases are present, near automatic 
doors or fire alarms.

• Do not expose the batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) to 

excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like for a long time.

• Do not dismantle, open or shred secondary cells or batteries.
• Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct 

sunlight.

• In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact 

with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area 
with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.

• Secondary cells and batteries need to be charged before use. Always  

refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or equipment manual for proper 
charging instructions.

• After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge 

and discharge the cells or batteries several times to obtain maximum 
performance.

• Dispose of properly.

ͫ Press Ă or è to select the optimum recording volume level for 

the sound source.
You can check the current recording volume level on the peak level 
meters. Adjust the recording volume so that the recording volume 
level stays around -12 dB (

Ƀ), which fits within the optimum range.

If too loud sounds are detected during recording, “OVER” (

Ʉ) 

appears on the display window and the peak indicator lights. In such 
a case, turn down the recording volume by pressing 

è until “OVER” 

disappears and the peak indicator goes out to avoid sound distortion.
You can press and hold 

Ă or è to keep turning up or down the

With the Bluetooth function of your linear PCM recorder, you can operate 
your linear PCM recorder (recording, changing the recording settings, etc.) 
using a smartphone.

To operate your linear PCM recorder using a smartphone
You need to install REC Remote on the smartphone and make a pairing 
between the smartphone and your linear PCM recorder.
Pairing means having Bluetooth devices registered with each other to 
establish a wireless connection for the first time.
To make a pairing with the linear PCM recorder using REC Remote, you 
need the latest version of REC Remote. If your smartphone has REC 
Remote already installed, be sure to upgrade it to the latest version.

                         

ͦ  Search Google Play or App Store for REC Remote and install it 

on the smartphone.

ͧ  On the linear PCM recorder, select “   Bluetooth” - “REC Remote”- 

“Add Device (Pairing)” from the HOME menu and follow the 
on-screen instruction to turn on the Bluetooth function.

ͨ  On the smartphone, start REC Remote and select “PCM-A10” 

(your linear PCM recorder) from the available device list. For 
detailed instructions, refer to the help of REC Remote and the 
manual supplied with the smartphone.
Now you can use the smartphone for linear PCM recorder operations.

To turn on or off the Bluetooth function of your 
linear PCM recorder
When you turn off the Bluetooth function, the linear PCM recorder is 
disconnected from all the devices connected via Bluetooth connections, 
including a Bluetooth audio device and a smartphone with REC Remote 
installed.

ͦ Select “   Bluetooth” - “Bluetooth ON/OFF” from the HOME 

menu.

ͧ  To turn on the Bluetooth function, select “ON.” To turn it off, 

select “OFF.”

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used 
batteries according to the instructions.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems 
are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, 
however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low 
power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the 
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce 
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not 
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many 
studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. 
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but 
such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The model 
has been tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set 
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio 
frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an 
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure 
Guidelines. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are 
deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).

For the customer in Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation 
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may 
cause undesired operation of the device.

RECYCLING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
