Troubleshooting
Should any problems persist after
you have made the following checks,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
General
Display is dim, or no indication is
displayed.
•
The unit is being used in extremely
high or low temperatures or in a place
with excessive moisture.
The volume cannot be turned up
when the unit is powered by the
built-in battery.
•
When the remaining battery level gets
low (when the battery icon is empty),
the maximum volume level is limited to
“22.” Charge the unit by connecting the
AC adaptor (supplied).
The volume level is low in the
“Bluetooth” function or the
“AUDIO IN” function compared with
the volume level when listening to
the radio.
•
Adjust the volume on the connected
device.
The unit enters standby mode
automatically.
•
By default, this unit is set to enter
standby mode automatically after
about 15 minutes of no operation or
audio signal output. See
“Auto power off” in “Setting Menu
Options” for details.
Radio
Very weak or interrupted sound, or
unsatisfactory reception.
•
If you are in a building, listen near a
window.
•
Extend the antenna and adjust the
length and the angle for best reception.
•
If a mobile phone is placed close to the
unit, a loud noise may be heard from
the unit. Keep the phone away from
the unit.
A desired station cannot be received
when a preset button is pressed.
•
Make sure you have selected the
desired band (FM or AM) before you
press the preset button. One station for
each band can be set to each button.
•
You may have held down the preset
button to which the station was
assigned, causing the station to be
replaced by a new one. Assign the
desired station again.
•
Preset buttons cannot be used when
the setting menu is displayed.
•
If you have moved to another region,
assign the new station to a preset
button.
BLUETOOTH
There is no sound.
•
Make sure that this unit is not too far
from the BLUETOOTH device, or that
this unit is not receiving interference
from a wireless LAN, another 2.4 GHz
wireless device, or a microwave oven.
•
Check that the BLUETOOTH connection
was completed properly between this
unit and the BLUETOOTH device.
•
Perform pairing again. (See
“Connecting with a BLUETOOTH
device.”)
•
Keep away from metal objects or
surfaces.
•
Make sure that the BLUETOOTH
function is activated on the
BLUETOOTH device.
The sound skips or the
correspondence distance is short.
•
If a device that generates
electromagnetic radiation, such as a
wireless LAN, other BLUETOOTH
device(s), or a microwave oven is
nearby, move away if possible. Or use
the device and the unit away from such
sources.
•
Remove any obstacle between this unit
and the device or move the device and
the unit away from the obstacle.
•
Locate this unit and the device as close
to each other as possible.
•
Re-position this unit.
•
Try using the BLUETOOTH device in
another position.
A connection cannot be established.
•
Depending on the device to be
connected, it may require some time to
start communication.
•
Perform pairing again. (See steps 2 and
3 of “Connecting with a BLUETOOTH
device.”)
•
To listen to music on a device that does
not have a BLUETOOTH function, such
as a PC without BLUETOOTH function,
connect the device to the AUDIO IN
jack on the unit. (See “Listening to
Music from an External Device” for
details.)
•
A BLUETOOTH connection with two
BLUETOOTH devices cannot be
established at the same time.
Pairing fails.
•
Bring the BLUETOOTH device closer to
the unit.
•
Make sure that the BLUETOOTH
function is activated on the
BLUETOOTH device.
•
If the BLUETOOTH connection cannot
be established after pairing is
completed, perform step 3 of
“Connecting with a BLUETOOTH
device.”
•
Delete the model name of this unit
from the BLUETOOTH device and
perform pairing again. (See steps 2 and
3 of “Connecting with a BLUETOOTH
device.”)
Pairing using the NFC function fails.
•
Try pairing manually. (See “Connecting
with a BLUETOOTH device.”) Some
NFC-compatible smartphones may not
be paired using the NFC function of this
unit, depending on the features or
specifications of the device.
•
Check that the smartphone meets the
compatibility requirements. (See
“Compatible smartphones” in
“Connecting by One-touch (NFC).”)
If the unit still does not operate
properly
Try pressing
RESET
on the bottom using a thin
rod. The unit will restart, retaining the
user-configured settings.
If maintenance service is performed
All user-configured settings, such as preset
radio stations, the sleep timer, and the clock,
may be initialized.
Please note your settings in case you need to
configure them again.

Do not expose the appliance to
naked flame sources (for example,
lighted candles).
Excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss.
Do not dismantle, open or shred
secondary cells or batteries.
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.
Do not use any charger other than
that specifically provided for use
with the equipment.
Do not use any cell or battery which
is not designed for use with the
equipment.
Secondary cells and batteries need
to be charged before use. Always
use the correct charger and 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.
Precautions
•
Operate the unit only on the power
sources specified in “Specifications.”
For AC operation, use only the supplied
AC adaptor. Do not use any other type
of AC adaptor.
•
Failure to use the supplied AC adaptor
may cause the unit to malfunction, as
the polarity of the plugs of other
manufacturers may be different.
•
When operating the unit on the built-in
battery, it is recommended that you
remove the AC adaptor from the wall
outlet and the DC IN jack. Disconnect
the plug of the external power source
before operating the unit.
•
Avoid exposure to temperature
extremes, direct sunlight, moisture,
sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never
leave in a car parked in the sun.
•
Do not expose the unit to strong
impact or excessive force. A glass
material is used for the display in some
models. If the glass chips or cracks, it
may cause injury. In that case, stop
using the unit immediately and make
sure not to touch the damaged parts.
•
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the unit, disconnect the AC
adaptor, and have the unit checked by
a qualified personnel before operating
it any further.
•
Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the unit to
prevent possible damage from the
magnetism.
•
To clean the casing, use a soft dry cloth.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as
alcohol or benzine, which may damage
the finish.
•
Do not operate the unit with wet hands
since it may cause a short circuit.
•
Make sure not to splash water on the
unit. This unit is not waterproof.
•
When you do not use the unit for a
long time, charge the battery every 6
months.
•
Under certain circumstances, especially
when the air is very dry, it is not
uncommon to experience a discharge
of static electricity, or shock, when your
body comes in contact with another
object, in this case the ear buds
touching your ear(s). The energy from
this natural discharge is extremely
small and is not emitted by your
product but rather a natural
environmental occurrence.
•
Listening with this unit at high volume
may affect your hearing. For traffic
safety, do not use this unit while driving
or cycling.
If you have any questions or
problems concerning your unit,
please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
