Regulatory Information Declaration of Conformity Trade Name : SONY Model No. : WG-C10 Responsible Party : Sony Electronics Inc. Address : 16530 Via Esprillo, San Diego, CA 92127 U.S.A. Telephone No. : 858-942-2230 This device complies with Part15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. CAUTION You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. NOTE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The supplied interface cable must be used with the equipment in order to comply with the limits for a digital device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules. When you attach a strap and use it, the strap can get pulled, which is dangerous, so be careful. Also, when you turn around, you can hit another person, which is dangerous, so be careful. When you quickly bring this product from a cold place to a warm place, or if it is in a room where you just turned on the heat on a winter morning etc, condensation can form on its surface or in this product. Condensation is when moisture in the air attaches to metal plates etc, and water drops form. When condensation forms, do not turn on its power until the condensation goes away, and leave it alone. Using it with condensation can cause failure. This device communicates data by using 2.4GHz radio waves, so if there is a device near it which uses the same frequency, interference can prevent it from communicating. If you do not use it for a long time, you may be unable to fully charge this device. But after charging and using up the battery 2 to 3 times, you will be able to fully charge it. When you do not use this device for a long time, disconnect the USB cable, and store it. Also read the Operating Instructions of other devices you use. Depending on the device, some operation may be needed to charge the battery. Only use the USB cable supplied with this product. For an iOS* device, use the special cable supplied when you purchased that device.
* iOS is the operating system for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The power output from the USB port is 500 mA maximum. If the output exceeds 500 mA while power is being supplied, a safety function turns off the power supply. When powering a device from this product, the charging time differs depending on the remaining battery charge. Maintenance When this products surface is dirty Wipe it with a soft cloth (a cloth designed for wiping reading glasses, etc). When it is very dirty, wipe it with a cloth sprinkled with diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Do not use paint thinner, gasoline, alcohol, etc. These can damage the finish of its surface. Take care so water does not get inside. Notes on about memory card Notes on the memory card For the latest information on memory cards you can use, check the online manual. http://rd1.sony.net/help/pws/c10/gb/
Do not remove the memory card while data is being read or saved. Data can be destroyed in the following situations. While reading or saving data, if the memory card is removed, or if this devices power is turned off When used in a place affected by static electricity or electrical noise It is recommended that you make a back-up of important data. Do not touch terminal with your hand or any metal object. Do not strike, bend, drop or wet this card. Do not attempt to disassemble or convert this card. Do not use or store this card in the following locations:
Where the range of recommended operating conditions is exceeded.
(Inside a closed car in summer or in strong sunshine/in direct sunlight/near a heater, etc.) Humid or corrosive locations. Check the correct insertion direction before using. Incorrect use can damage the device. When inserting the memory card, if you use too much force, you can damage the memory card or this device. Memory Stick Duo You cannot read or record data that requires MagicGate copyright protection technology. MagicGate is the name of a technology developed by Sony to protect copyright using encryption technology. The file systems design limits the file size which can be saved to or played from Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO-HG, and Memory Stick Micro media. Each file must be less than 4 GB. When using Memory Stick Micro media in this device, be sure to put it in a special adaptor (sold separately). If you insert it not mounted in the adaptor, then you may be unable to remove the Memory Stick Micro media. SD memory card You cannot read or record data that requires copyright protection technology. The file systems design limits the file size which can be saved to or played from an SD memory card and SDHC memory card. Each file must be less than 4 GB. RECYCLING LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES Lithium-Ion batteries are recyclable. You can help preserve our environment by returning your used rechargeable batteries to the collection and recycling location nearest you. For more information regarding recycling of rechargeable batteries, call toll free 1-800-822-8837, or visit http://www.rbrc.org/
Caution: Do not handle damaged or leaking Lithium-Ion Batteries. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-
level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. WG-C10 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
