The rechargeable built-in battery has a life span. As time passes and the number of times that the built-in battery is
used increases, the capacity of the rechargeable built-in battery slowly decreases. When the amount of time that the
built-in battery can be used seems significantly shorter, despite having been fully charged, contact your nearest Sony
dealer.
When the amount of time that the built-in battery can be used seems significantly shorter, it could mean that the

Note
Charging time varies depending on built-in battery usage conditions.
Charge the speaker in an ambient temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F).
The speaker becomes warm during charging. This is not a malfunction.

speaker in a car parked in the sun.
As long as the speaker is connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available), the speaker's built-in battery
is capable of charging itself even while the speaker is turned on. However, it may take a long time before charging completes
depending on the usage of the speaker. It is recommended that you turn off the speaker before battery charging.
