Sony SRS-XV500, YY7855E Manual

Introduction

The term "product" in this document refers to the unit or its accessories.

Do not expose the unit to naked flame sources (for example, lighted candles).

Do not install the product in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

As the power cord is used to disconnect the unit from the mains, connect the unit to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the unit, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet immediately.

This product has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices. Do not place this product close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use any such medical device.

Do not expose the batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) to excessive heat, such as sunshine, fire or the like, for a long time.

Do not subject the batteries to extreme low temperature conditions that may result in overheating and thermal runaway.

Do not dismantle, open, or shred secondary batteries.

In the event of a secondary battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.

Secondary batteries need to be charged before use. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions or product manual for proper charging instructions.

After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the secondary batteries several times to obtain maximum performance. Dispose of properly.

Inserting the USB plug or AC plug while it is wet may cause a short circuit due to foreign matter or liquid (tap water, seawater, soft drinks, etc.) getting on the main unit or charging cable.

This may cause malfunctions or abnormal overheating.

Never insert the USB plug or AC plug while the main unit or charging cable is wet.

Notes on water resistant feature
(Read before using the unit)
The supplied accessories are not water resistant.
On water resistant performance of the unit
With the cap securely closed, this unit has a water resistant performance equivalent to IPX4, which is a "protection against ingress of water" rating defined by IEC 60529 "Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)" for electrical equipment.

• The supplied accessories and the connectors of this unit (AC IN/USB/AUDIO IN/MIC/GUITAR) are neither water resistant nor dustproof. To reduce the risk of fires or electric shocks, do not expose the unit to water or droplets while using any connectors (AC IN/USB/AUDIO IN/MIC/GUITAR).

• This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Do not put the unit in the water or directly under the water gushing out of the faucet to avoid a malfunction.
• Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the unit directly. Also never use the unit in a place subject to high temperatures, such as in a sauna or near a heat source.

Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant performance. When using the unit, 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 unit as a result of water entering the unit.

How to care for the unit
You can use the unit more comfortably and for a longer period of time by following the maintenance procedure below.

• If the surface becomes dirty, wipe the surface using a soft, dry cloth or a cloth soaked in water or lukewarm water and wrung well. Depending on the type of dirt, it may not be possible to remove it.

Note

• If the surface of the unit gets dirty, do not use detergent, thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. to clean the unit because it will affect the water repellent function of the unit.

Precautions

About the power cord

If the unit is not used for an extended period, unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet. When unplugging the unit, be sure to grasp the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.

On placement

• Do not insert foreign objects from the opening of the speaker unit.
• To eliminate the risk of malfunctions, avoid the following locations when placing or leaving this unit.
  • A place subject to high temperatures, such as under direct sunlight or lighting equipment, near a heat source, or in a sauna
  • Inside a vehicle with the windows closed (especially in summertime)
  • A place exposed to hot air, such as from a hair dryer
• Place this unit on a flat, level surface. When placed on a sloped surface, the unit may fall over or fall off the surface due to its own vibration, resulting in injuries, malfunctions, or performance degradation.
• This unit is not anti-magnetic. Keep objects susceptible to magnetism (recorded tapes, watches, cash cards and credit cards with magnetic coding, etc.) away from the unit. When you carry around the unit, keep this in mind as well.
• If your skin remains in contact with the handle for a long time while the light is turned on, there is a risk of low-temperature burns. To carry a speaker while it is powered on, turn the light (lighting function) off.

Other notes

• Do not use or leave the unit in an extremely cold or hot environment (temperature outside the range of 5°C – 35°C). If the unit is used or left in outside the above range, the unit may automatically stop to protect internal circuitry.
• When the unit's light seems bright or glaring, turn up the room lights or turn off the lighting function.
• Put your fingertip directly onto the touch sensor for operations.
• Do not operate the touch sensor with a wet hand to avoid a malfunction.
• Even if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to maintain its performance.
