Help Guide Wireless Speaker SRS-XB10 Notes on water resistant feature Water resistant performance of the speaker The speaker has a water resistant specification*1*2 and IPX5*3 as specified in “Degrees of protection against ingress of water” of the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code).” However, the speaker is not completely water- tight. Do not drop the speaker into hot water in a bathtub or purposely use it in water. Depending on usage, water entering the speaker may cause fire, electric shock or malfunction. Use the speaker with full understanding of the following. Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to Applicable: fresh water, tap water Not applicable: liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with detergent or bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, hot water, pool water, seawater, etc.) The water resistant performance of the speaker is based on our measurements under the conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty. To avoid the deterioration of the water resistant performance Check the following and use the speaker correctly. Do not use or leave the speaker in an extremely hot or cold environment (temperature outside the range of 5 °C – 35 °C (41 °F – 95 °F)). If the speaker is used or left in outside the above range, the speaker may automatically stop to protect internal circuitry. Be careful not to drop the speaker or subject it to mechanical shock. Deformation or damage may cause deterioration of the water resistant performance. Do not use the speaker in a location where large amount of water or hot water may splash on it. The speaker does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the speaker in the above location may cause a malfunction. Do not pour high- temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the speaker directly. Also, never use the speaker in high temperature locations such as in saunas or near a stove. Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant performance. When using the speaker, make sure that the cap is closed completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. Mark is on the upper side of the cap. If the cap is not closed completely the water resistant performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the speaker as a result of water entering the speaker. Requires that the cap is fastened securely.*1 The supplied accessories are not water resistant.*2 IPX5 (Degree of protection against jets of water): The speaker has been tested and found to remain functional after exposure to direct jet streams of water using a nozzle of 6.3 mm (about 1/4 in) internal diameter from any direction where approximately 12.5 L/min of water is applied for a period of more than 3 minutes from a distance of about 3 meters (about 10 ft).*3 71

Help Guide Wireless Speaker SRS-XB10 What is BLUETOOTH wireless technology? BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short- range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a computer and digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 30 ft). Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another (such is the case with infrared technology). For example, you can use the device in a bag or pocket. BLUETOOTH standard is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all over the world and employed by various companies worldwide. Maximum communication range Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions. There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between the speaker and BLUETOOTH device. A wireless LAN device is in use near the speaker. A microwave oven is in use near the speaker. A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near the speaker. Interference from other devices Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN ( IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and result in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if the speaker is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following. Use the speaker at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN device. If the speaker is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device. Interference to other devices Microwaves emitted from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off the speaker and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident. where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station near automatic doors or a fire alarm Note To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be connected requires the same profile as the speaker’s. Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may vary in function depending on their specifications. Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, the sound played on the speaker is slightly delayed from the sound played on the BLUETOOTH device while talking on the telephone or listening to music. The speaker supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology. 74
We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during BLUETOOTH communication. A device featuring the BLUETOOTH function 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. Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with the speaker, the communication environment or the usage environment. The device with a built -in radio or tuner cannot be connected to the speaker via BLUETOOTH since noise may occur in broadcasts. Locate the speaker farther away from a TV, radio or tuner, etc. since noise may occur in broadcasts. 4- 694- 214- 11(2) Copyright 2017 Sony Corporation 75
