fréquence (2,4 GHz), des interférences en
hyperfréquences peuvent se produire et
entraîner des parasites, des pertes de
niveau audio ou l'interruption des
communications si cet appareil est utilisé à
proximité d'un périphérique Wi-Fi. En
pareil cas, prenez les mesures suivantes.
– Utilisez cet appareil à une distance d'au
moins 10 m (30 pieds) du périphérique
Wi-Fi.
– Si cet appareil est utilisé à moins de 10 m
(30 pieds) d'un périphérique Wi-Fi,
éteignez le périphérique Wi-Fi.
– Installez cet appareil et le périphérique
BLUETOOTH aussi près que possible l'un
de l'autre.
• Les émissions d'hyperfréquences d'un
périphérique BLUETOOTH peuvent
perturber le fonctionnement des appareils
médicaux électroniques. Pour éviter de
causer un accident, éteignez cet appareil
et les autres périphériques BLUETOOTH
dans les endroits suivants :
– en présence de gaz inflammable, dans
un hôpital ou une station-service
– à proximité de portes automatiques ou
d'un avertisseur d'incendie
• N'utilisez pas l'appareil dans un avion.
Les ondes radio risquent de perturber les
instruments et de provoquer un accident
en raison d'un problème de
fonctionnement.
• En raison des caractéristiques de la
technologie sans fil BLUETOOTH, le son
reproduit sur cet appareil est légèrement
décalé par rapport au son en cours de
lecture sur le périphérique BLUETOOTH
pendant une conversation téléphonique
ou l'écoute de la musique.
• Cet appareil prend en charge les
caractéristiques de sécurité conformes à la
norme BLUETOOTH pour offrir une
connexion sécurisée lors de l'utilisation de
la technologie sans fil BLUETOOTH;
cependant, la sécurité pourrait être
insuffisante selon le réglage. Soyez
prudent lorsque vous communiquez au
moyen de la technologie sans fil
BLUETOOTH.
• Nous ne pouvons être tenus responsables
de la fuite d'informations survenant lors
de communications BLUETOOTH.
• La connexion ne peut pas être garantie
avec tous les périphériques BLUETOOTH.
– Un périphérique doté de la fonction
BLUETOOTH est nécessaire pour la
conformité à la norme BLUETOOTH
spécifiée par Bluetooth SIG, Inc. et pour
l'authentification.
– Même si le périphérique connecté est
conforme à la norme BLUETOOTH
mentionnée précédemment, certains
périphériques peuvent ne pas se
connecter ou ne pas fonctionner
correctement, selon leurs
caractéristiques ou spécifications.
– Selon le périphérique ou
l'environnement de communication, des
parasites peuvent se produire lors des
communications téléphoniques en
mains libres.
• Selon le périphérique à connecter, le
démarrage des communications peut
prendre un certain temps.
À propos de l'utilisation d'applications
d'appel pour les téléphones intelligents
et ordinateurs
• Cet appareil prend uniquement en charge
les appels entrants normaux. Les
applications d'appel pour les téléphones
intelligents et ordinateurs ne sont pas
prises en charge.
Si le son est fréquemment saccadé
pendant la lecture
• Vous pourriez améliorer la situation en
modifiant les réglages de qualité de
lecture sans fil ou en réglant le mode de
lecture sans fil à SBC sur le périphérique
émetteur. Pour plus de détails,
reportez-vous au mode d'emploi fourni
avec le périphérique émetteur.
Chargement de l'appareil
• Cet appareil peut être chargé uniquement
par USB. Un ordinateur personnel avec
port USB est requis pour le chargement.
• Lors du chargement, il n'est pas possible
de mettre cet appareil en marche ni
d'utiliser la fonction BLUETOOTH.
• Si vous n'utilisez pas l'appareil pendant
une période prolongée, la batterie
rechargeable risque de ne pas fournir une
charge suffisante. La batterie pourra
fournir une charge adéquate après
plusieurs chargements et déchargements.
• Si vous rangez l'appareil pendant une
période prolongée, chargez la batterie tous
les six mois pour éviter un déchargement
excessif.
• Si la durée d'utilisation de l'appareil
devient très courte, vous devez remplacer
la batterie rechargeable par une nouvelle.
Veuillez contacter votre détaillant Sony le
plus proche afin de remplacer la batterie.
Remarque sur l'électricité statique
• L'électricité statique qui s'accumule dans le
corps peut causer de légers picotements
dans les oreilles. Pour réduire cet effet,
portez des vêtements fabriqués en
matières naturelles.
Si l'appareil ne fonctionne pas
correctement
• Réinitialisez l'appareil.
Connectez le casque d'écoute à un
ordinateur démarré en utilisant le câble
micro-USB fourni, puis appuyez sur les
boutons  et - simultanément. L'appareil
sera réinitialisé. Les informations de
jumelage ne sont pas supprimées.
