SONY MDR-ZX330BT (01) PDF DOCUMENT

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the SONY MDR-ZX330BT to rain or moisture.

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

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

The indicators (blue/red) on the SONY MDR-ZX330BT light up or flash to show the status of the unit. There are two types of flashing indicators (blue/red) that show the status of the unit.

Listening with this unit at high volume may affect your hearing. For traffic safety, do not use this unit while driving, cycling, or operating a motor vehicle.

Do not use the SONY MDR-ZX330BT at any place where it would be dangerous if you are unable to hear ambient sound, such as at a railroad crossing, a train station platform, and a construction site.

Do not put weight or pressure on this unit as it may cause the unit to deform during long storage.

Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.

Clean the unit with a soft dry cloth.

Do not expose the unit to water. The unit is not waterproof. Remember to follow the precautions below:

• Be careful not to drop the unit into a sink or other container filled with water.

• Do not use the unit in humid locations or bad weather, such as in the rain or snow.

• BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m. Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (human body, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.

• BLUETOOTH communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions:

– When there is a human body between the unit and the BLUETOOTH device. This situation may be improved by placing the BLUETOOTH device facing the antenna of the unit.

– When there is an obstacle, such as a metal or a wall, between the unit and the BLUETOOTH device.

– When a Wi-Fi device or microwave oven is in use, or microwaves are emitted near the unit.

– The antenna is built into the unit as illustrated in the dotted line (Fig. A). The sensitivity of the BLUETOOTH communications can be improved by removing any obstacles between the connected BLUETOOTH device and the antenna of this unit.

• Because BLUETOOTH devices and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency (2.4 GHz), microwave interference may occur resulting in noise or audio dropout or communications being disabled if this unit is used near a Wi-Fi device. In such a case, perform the following:

– Use this unit at least 10 m away from the Wi-Fi device.

– If this unit is used within 10 m of a Wi-Fi device, turn off the Wi-Fi device.

– Install this unit and the BLUETOOTH device as near to each other as possible.

• Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident:

– where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, or a gas station

– near automatic doors or a fire alarm.

• Due to the characteristic of the wireless technology, the sound played on this unit is delayed from the sound and music played on the sending device. Therefore, the image and sound may be misaligned when viewing a movie or playing a game.

• This product emits radio waves when used in wireless mode. When used in wireless mode on an airplane, follow flight crew directions regarding permissible use of products in wireless mode.

• The unit supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the wireless technology is used, but security may not be sufficient depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.

• We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during BLUETOOTH communications.

• A device featuring the BLUETOOTH function is required to conform to the BLUETOOTH standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. 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.

• Depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with this unit, the communications environment, or the usage environment, noise may occur or the audio may cut off.

• This unit can be charged using USB only. Personal computer with USB port is required for charging.

• This unit cannot be turned on, nor can the BLUETOOTH function be used, during charging.

• If you do not use the unit for a long time, the rechargeable battery may be depleted. The battery will be able to hold a charge again after it is discharged and recharged a few times. If you store the unit for a long time, charge the battery once every half year to prevent over-discharge.

• If the length of time you can use the unit becomes extremely short, the rechargeable battery should be replaced with a new one. Please contact your nearest Sony dealer for a battery replacement.

• After use, remove the headphones slowly.

• Because the headphones are of a high-density enclosure, forcing them against your ears may result in eardrum damage. Pressing the headphones against your ears may produce a diaphragm click sound. This is not a malfunction.

• The earpads may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use.

• Do not leave the stereo headset in a place subject to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.

• Static electricity accumulated in the body may cause mild tingling in your ears. To minimize the effect, wear clothes made from natural materials.

If the SONY MDR-ZX330BT unit does not operate correctly, reset the unit. To reset, press and hold the POWER button and the button simultaneously while the USB cable is connected. The unit will be reset. Pairing information is not deleted. If the problem persists even after the resetting operation above, initialize the unit as follows. Disconnect the USB cable, turn off the unit, then press and hold the POWER button and the button for more than 7 seconds. The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, and the unit is reset to the factory settings. All pairing information is deleted. After the unit is initialized, it may not connect to your iPhone or computer. In this case, delete the pairing information of the unit from the iPhone or computer, and then pair them again.
