Listening to music wirelessly (Bluetooth
function)
By using Bluetooth connection, you can listen to the sound from a Bluetooth device such
as a "WALKMAN" that supports the Bluetooth function with the unit wirelessly.
Refer to the manual provided with the Bluetooth device to be connected.
Getting started: pairing
What is pairing?
Bluetooth devices need to be "paired" with each other beforehand.
Once Bluetooth devices are paired, the unit memorizes these devices even after
disconnection the device. There is no need for pairing again to listen to music.*
The unit can only pair with one device at a time. To pair with multiple devices, each
device needs to be paired individually.
*Pairing will be necessary again in the following cases.
If pairing information is deleted after repair, etc.
The unit can be paired with up to 9 devices. If a new device is paired after 9 devices

Precautions
On placement
Do not install the AC adaptor in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
Do not keep, use or place the unit in the following places as damage to the unit may
result.
In a high-temperature environment
- In a location where heat sources exist, or in a place subject to direct sunlight
The unit may become discolored, distorted or damaged.
- In a car dashboard compartment, or in a locked car in hot weather (especially in the summertime)
In a location subject to excessive dust, moisture, rain, etc.
- The unit may become distorted or damaged.
In a location subject to vibration
In a strong magnetic field
In a sandy location, such as a beach, etc.
The unit may become severely damaged.
On an unstable surface, or in an inclined position
The unit might fall down, resulting in property damage, or personal injury.
On use
The AC adaptor generates heat during use. This is normal and not a malfunction.
Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
Do not use the unit near a TV set, AM radio or other such tuner. These devices can generate RF
interference noise in the unit.
Keep the surfaces of the AC adaptor, cords, and cables away from metal objects to avoid short-
circuits.
Do not connect the AC adaptor to a voltage conversion transformer. It may cause damage to the
adaptor/unit which could lead to a fire.
Plug the AC adaptor into an easily accessible mains outlet. In the case of a problem, unplug from the
mains outlet immediately.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to dripping or splashing, and do
not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the unit.
On using an FM radio-equipped "WALKMAN"
You cannot listen to FM radio broadcasts using the function of "WALKMAN" (except
some models).
On cleaning
Should the unit become dirty, clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or mild
detergent solution, then finish off with a dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol, thinner or benzene, etc., as these solvents may mar the finish of the unit.
When using a chemical cloth, follow the notes supplied with the product.
Spraying a volatile substance such as an insecticide on the unit, or allowing the unit to come in
contact with rubber or plastic materials for extended periods may damage the unit's finish.
About Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless
data communication between digital devices, such as compact stereos or digital music
players. Connecting two devices as needed is the typical method, but simultaneous
connection of multiple devices is also possible.
You do not need to use a cable for connection since Bluetooth technology is a wireless
technology, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another; such is the case with
infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.
Bluetooth technology is an international standard employed and supported by thousands
of companies worldwide.
Compatible Bluetooth profiles
Bluetooth profiles are standardized according to the purpose of the Bluetooth device.

-near automatic doors
-near a fire alarm
Note
To use the Bluetooth function of the unit, check that the Bluetooth device supports the same profiles
as your unit does. Even if the connected device supports the same Bluetooth profile, some devices
may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features or specifications of the device.
Due to the characteristic of Bluetooth wireless technology, the sound played on the Bluetooth device
is slightly delayed from the sound played on the unit.
Your unit supports security capabilities that comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide a secure
connection when Bluetooth wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending
on the setting. Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology.
We do not take any responsibility for leakage of information during Bluetooth communication.
A Bluetooth device is required to conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and
be authenticated. Even if the connected device conforms to the above mentioned Bluetooth
standard, some devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features or
specifications of the device.
There might be noise, or the sound might skip depending on the usage environment, certain
communication conditions, or the connected Bluetooth device.
