About volume operation (Only for countries/areas

After the initial warning, the alarm and warning repeat for every 20 cumulative
hours that the volume is set beyond the specific level*
1
; when this happens,

If some computer enters a power saving mode such as the Sleep or
Hibernation mode while your Walkman is connected via the USB cable
(supplied), the Walkman may continue to draw power from the battery,
discharging it.
When you use your Walkman for the first time, or if you have not used the
Walkman for a long time, it may take a few minutes to be recognized by the
computer, even if charging has already started (the OPR lamp lights up in
orange). Check that the computer recognizes your Walkman after you have
connected it to the computer for about 10 minutes.
You cannot operate your Walkman while it is charging.
To prevent battery deterioration, charge the battery at least once every six
months or every year.
