 Even if your Walkman is compatible with the NFC function, it may not be able to make a BLUETOOTH connection with the

speaker by one touch. For details on the compatible models, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your Walkman.

NFC

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology enabling short-range wireless communication between various

devices, such as smartphones and IC tags.

Thanks to the NFC function, data communication - for example, BLUETOOTH pairing - can be achieved easily by simply

touching NFC-compatible devices together (i.e., at the N-mark symbol or location designated on each device).

Note

Stop playback on a BLUETOOTH device beforehand to avoid sudden loud sound output from the speaker.

1.  Set the NFC function of the device to on.

For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device.

If your smartphone OS is Android 2.3.3 or later, and less than Android 4.1:

proceed to step 2.

If your smartphone OS is Android 4.1 or later: proceed to step 4.

NFC-compatible Walkman models

: proceed to step 4.

 The procedures for the NFC settings may vary depending on Walkman models. For details, refer to the operating

instructions supplied with your Walkman.

2.  Download and install the app “NFC Easy Connect” on the smartphone.

“NFC Easy Connect” 

is a free Android app you can download from Google Play.

Download the app by searching for
