Notes on the AC adaptor  Use only the supplied AC adaptor. To avoid damaging the system, do not use any other AC adaptor. Polarity of the plug  Plug the AC adaptor into a nearby wall outlet (mains). In the case of a problem, unplug it from the wall outlet (mains) immediately.  Do not place the AC adaptor on a bookshelf or in a confined place, such as a cabinet.  To avoid fire or electric shock, do not use the AC adaptor in a place near liquid or subject to moisture. Furthermore, do not place liquid-filled vessels, such as vases, etc., on the AC adaptor.  The supplied AC power cord (mains lead) is only for this system. Do not use it with any other device. To use the rechargeable battery This system contains a built-in rechargeable battery. You can operate the system with the rechargeable battery instead of the AC adaptor. Charge the rechargeable battery before using the system with it for the first time, and when it is depleted. By connecting the AC adaptor to the wall outlet (mains), charging starts automatically. The CHG indicator (red) lights up when the rechargeable battery is being charged, and turns off when charging is complete. You can operate the system while charging the rechargeable battery. Notes on the BATT/CHG indicators  When using the system with the rechargeable battery by disconnecting the AC adaptor, the BATT indicator (amber) turns on and the CHG indicator (red) turns off.  When using the system with the rechargeable battery, if the battery becomes depleted, the BATT indicator (amber) flashes. In this case, connect the AC adaptor to charge the battery.  When you play music at an extremely high volume or set the volume of the system to the maximum level, the BATT indicator (amber) may flash. In this case, connect the AC adaptor to charge the battery. Battery Life The usage time of the fully charged battery is approximately 5 hours*1*2. *1 Measured by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association) standards. The usage time is measured with the BASS BOOST function set to off. The actual battery life will vary depending on the temperature, the equalizer settings of your iPod or audio input device, etc. *2 When charged and used in an environment where the temperature is 25 ºC. Notes on the rechargeable battery  It will take approximately 10 hours to charge the battery.  When you switch the power source between the AC adaptor and the rechargeable battery by connecting/ disconnecting the AC adaptor, the system stops sound output for a short while. This is not a malfunction.  The maximum power output will be lower when the AC adaptor is disconnected.  In an extremely cold or hot environment, charging may complete too quickly, or may not be possible. Use the system within the designated temperature range (5 ºC to 35 ºC).  Charge the rechargeable battery at least biannually. When the rechargeable battery loses its charge quickly Repeated recharging causes the capacity of the battery to decrease over time. When the battery life drops to half the usual time, even after a full charge, contact your nearest Sony dealer to replace the battery. To charge your iPod (only when using the AC adaptor) You can use the system as a battery charger for your iPod when the power is supplied by the AC adaptor.
