Notes on water resistant feature
(Read before using the system)
Water resistant performance of the system
This system has a water resistant specification*
against ingress of water" of the IeC60529 "Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)." however, this
system is not completely water-tight.
Do not drop the system into hot water in a bathtub or purposely use it in water. Depending on
usage, water entering the system may cause fire, electric shock or malfunction.
Use the system with full understanding of the following.
Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to
Applicable :
fresh water, tap water, sweat
Not applicable :
liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with detergent or
bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, hot water, pool water,
seawater, etc.)

IPX5 (Degree of protection against jets of water): The system has been tested and found to
remain functional after exposure to direct jet streams of water using a nozzle of 6.3 mm (about
1/4 in) internal diameter from any direction where approximately 12.5 l/ min of water is applied
for a period of more than 3 minutes from a distance of about 3 meters (about 10 ft).
The water resistant performance of the system is based on our measurements under the
conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion caused by
misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.
To avoid the deterioration of the water resistant performance
Check the following and use the system correctly.
ˎ Do not use or leave the system in an extremely hot or cold environment (temperature outside the

as specified in "Degrees of protection
range of 5 °C – 35 °C (41 °F – 95 °F)). If the system is used or left in outside the above range, the
system may automatically stop to protect internal circuitry.
ˎ Be careful not to drop the system or subject it to mechanical shock. Deformation or damage may
ˎ
cause deterioration of the water resistant performance.
ˎ Do not use the system in a location where large amount of water or hot water may splash on it.
ˎ
The system does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the system in the
above location may cause a malfunction.
ˎ Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on
ˎ
the system directly. Also, never use the system in high temperature locations such as in saunas or
near a stove.
ˎ handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water
ˎ
resistant performance. When using the system, make sure that the cap is closed completely.
When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not closed
completely the water resistant performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the
system as a result of water entering the system.

How to care for the system when wet
If the system gets wet, first remove the water from the system, and then wipe off the moisture on
the system using a soft, dry cloth. especially in cold regions, leaving moisture on its surface may
cause the system to freeze and malfunction. Be sure to wipe off the moisture after using the
system.
Put the system on towel or dry cloth. Then leave it at room temperature and dry the system until no
moisture remains.

lDAC is an audio coding technology developed by Sony that enables the transmission of
high-Resolution (hi-Res) Audio content, even over a BlUeTooTh connection. Unlike other
BlUeTooTh compatible coding technologies such as SBC, it operates without any down-
conversion of the hi-Res Audio content*7, and allows approximately three times more data*8
than those other technologies to be transmitted over a BlUeTooTh wireless network with
unprecedented sound quality, by means of efficient coding and optimized packetization.
