To avoid deterioration of waterproof and dust proof performance
Check the following and use the system correctly.

• The system passes the drop test from 1.22 m on plywood of 5 cm thickness conforming to MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5-Shock. However, this does not guarantee no damage, no breakdown, or waterproof and dust proof performance in all conditions. Deformation or damage from dropping the system or subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the waterproof and dust proof performance.
• This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the unit in a location where high water pressure is applied, such as in the shower, may cause a malfunction.
• Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the system directly. Also, never use the system in high temperature locations such as in saunas or near a stove.
• Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the waterproof and dust proof 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 waterproof and dust proof performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the system as a result of water or dust particles entering the system.

How to care for the system
Although the fabric part of the system has water repellent treatment applied, you can use the system more comfortably and for a longer period of time by following the maintenance procedure below.

• If the surface of the system gets dirty in the following cases, wash the system with fresh water (tap water, etc.) promptly to remove the dirt. Leaving dirt on its surface may cause the fabric part to discolor or deteriorate, or the system to malfunction. Ex.
  – When salt, sand, etc. is stuck on the system after using it on a beach, pool side, etc.
  – When the system is stained with foreign substances (sunscreen, suntan oil, etc.)
• If the system gets wet, wipe off the moisture using a dry soft cloth immediately. In addition, dry the system in an airy place until no moisture remains.
• The sound quality may change when water enters the speaker section of the system. It is not malfunction. Wipe off the moisture on its surface, and put the system on a dry soft cloth with the SONY logo facing down to drain the collected water inside the system. Then, dry the system in an airy place until no moisture remains.

Note

• If the surface of the system gets dirty, do not use detergent, thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. to clean the system because it will affect the water repellent function of the fabric part of the system.
• Especially in cold regions, be sure to wipe off the moisture after using the system. Leaving moisture on its surface may cause the system to freeze and malfunction.

The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, the unit is initialized, and the unit is reset to the factory settings. When the unit is initialized, all pairing information is deleted.
• After the unit is initialized, it may not connect to your iPhone or computer. If this happens, delete the pairing information of the unit from the iPhone or computer, and then pair them again.

On the noise cancelling function

• The noise cancelling function senses external ambient noise (such as the noise inside a vehicle or the sound of air conditioning inside a room) with built-in microphones, and produces an equal-but-opposite sound that cancels out the ambient noise.
  – The noise cancelling effect may not be pronounced in a very quiet environment, or some noise may be heard.
  – The noise cancelling function works for noise in the low frequency band primarily. Although noise is reduced, it is not cancelled completely.
  – When you use the unit in a train or a car, noise may occur depending on street conditions.
  – Mobile phones may cause interference and noise. Should this occur, locate the unit further away from the mobile phone.
  – Depending on how you wear the unit, the noise cancelling effect may vary or a beeping sound (howling) may occur. If this happens, take off the unit and put it back on again.
  – Do not cover the microphones of the unit with your hands or other objects. Doing so may prevent the noise cancelling function or the Ambient Sound Mode from working properly, or may cause a beeping sound (howling) to occur. If this happens, take your hands or other object off of the microphones of the unit (Fig. [C]).

Notes on wearing the unit

• Because the headphones achieve a tight seal over the ears, forcibly pressing them against your ears or quickly pulling them off can result in eardrum damage. When wearing the headphones, the speaker diaphragm may produce a click sound. This is not a malfunction.

Other notes

• Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
• When you use the unit as wired headphones, use the supplied headphone cable only. Make sure that the headphone cable is firmly inserted.
• The Bluetooth function may not work with a mobile phone, depending on the signal conditions and the surrounding environment.
• Do not apply weight or pressure to the unit for long periods, including when it is stored, as it may cause deformation.
• If you experience discomfort while using the unit, stop using it immediately.
• The earpads may be damaged or deteriorate with long-term use and storage.

Cleaning the unit

• When the outside of the unit is dirty, clean it by wiping with a soft dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, soak a cloth in a dilute solution of neutral detergent, and wring it well before wiping. Do not use solvents such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol, as they may damage the surface.
• If you have any questions or problems concerning this unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
