The speaker has caster wheels so that you can roll it easily. Grasp the center of the rear handle, which is on the same side of the speaker as the caster wheels, with one hand, and then tug and move the speaker while making sure that it rolls on the caster wheels. The caster wheels can be used only on flat surfaces. On uneven surfaces, lift the speaker by two people using the handles on the speaker. The correct hand placement for carrying the speaker is very important to avoid personal injuries and/or property damage. Note To avoid personal injuries and/or property damage, place your hands properly on the speaker to hold and carry the speaker. Exercise extreme caution when carrying the speaker on a slope. Do not carry the speaker with a person, luggage, etc. on it. Do not let children or infants be near when carrying the speaker. If your skin remains in contact with the handle for a long time while the light is turned on, there is a risk of low-temperature burns. To carry a speaker while it is powered on, turn the light (lighting function) off. To place the speaker in the horizontal orientation The speaker can be placed in the horizontal orientation as well. (Be sure to place the side with the rubber feet down.) 8 Note The water resistant performance of the speaker when placed in the vertical orientation (IPX4) is not the same as the one when in the horizontal orientation (IPX2).

When using the speaker for the first time, be sure to charge the built-in battery for more than 1 hour before turning on the speaker. With the built-in battery charged in advance, you can use the speaker solely with battery power. Hint For charging the built-in battery of the speaker, the Battery Care mode option is available in addition to the normal charging method. Battery Care mode limits the maximum charge capacity to approximately 90% and makes the battery life last longer. The playback time available in Battery Care mode is shorter than the time available when the built-in battery is charged by the normal charging method. At the time of purchase, the speaker is not in Battery Care mode. While the speaker is turned on, pressing and holding the BATTERY button/ BATTERY CARE button behind the cap on the rear side of the speaker for about 2 seconds places the speaker into Battery Care mode and you hear voice guidance (Battery Care mode, ON) from the speaker. Pressing and holding the BATTERY button/ BATTERY CARE button once again for about 2 seconds brings the speaker out of Battery Care mode and you hear voice guidance (Battery Care mode, OFF) from the speaker. You can place/bring the speaker into/out of Battery Care mode with "Sony | Music Center" as well. 1 Connect the speaker to an AC outlet to charge it. Connect the AC input jack on the speaker and an AC outlet with the supplied AC power cord (mains lead). Battery charging starts and the CHARGE indicator lights up in orange. Charging will complete in about 3 hours* and the indicator will turn off. * Time that is required to charge the empty built-in battery to its full capacity while the speaker is turned off. After you disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) from the speaker upon completion of battery charging, be sure to close the cap securely. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant performance. Checking the charging completion 10 If the built-in battery is fully charged when you connect the speaker to an AC outlet, the CHARGE indicator lights up in orange then turns off after about 1 minute. Checking the built-in battery level of the rechargeable built-in battery After pressing the BATTERY button behind the cap on the rear side of the speaker, when the speaker is turned on, the voice guidance listed below is output from the speaker depending on the remaining built-in battery power. 81% - 100%: "Battery fully charged" 81% - 90% (Battery Care mode): "Battery Care Mode, Fully Charged, Battery About 90%" 61% - 80%: "Battery about 80%" 41% - 60%: "Battery about 60%" 21% - 40%: "Battery about 40%" 1% - 20%: "Low Battery" Hint By using "Sony | Music Center," you can activate/deactivate the voice guidance associated with the remaining battery power that you hear when you turn on the speaker. Built-in battery life (while the speaker is not in Battery Care mode and a BLUETOOTH connection is established) Approx. 25 hours Volume level: 14 Sound: MEGA BASS on Lighting: off Approx. 15 hours (default) Volume level: 14 Sound: MEGA BASS on Lighting: on Approx. 5 hours Volume level: 50 (MAX.) Sound: MEGA BASS on Lighting: off Approx. 3.5 hours Volume level: 50 (MAX.) Sound: MEGA BASS on Lighting: on Time required for charging the built-in rechargeable battery (while Battery Care mode is not activated) Approx. 3 hours* 10 minutes of charging provide approximately 3 hours of music playback. 11 Volume level: 14 Sound: MEGA BASS on Lighting: off * Time required for the empty battery to be fully charged (100%) while the speaker is turned off. The built-in battery life above is measured using our specified music source. Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. When the built-in battery is running low When the voice guidance says "Low Battery" and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, the built-in battery is running low and needs to be charged. While in this state, the speaker is not capable of supplying power to other devices and may automatically turn off. When the remaining battery decreases to such a level that the speaker cannot be turned on, you hear voice guidance (Battery is empty.) and the speaker automatically turns off. In such a case, charge the speaker. In the event that the CHARGE indicator flashes 3 times in orange and then the speaker turns off when the speaker is turned on, the built-in battery is empty and needs to be charged. Note When you use the speaker at a loud volume, the built-in battery may run low even if the speaker is connected to an AC outlet. If you want to use the speaker while charging, lower the volume of the speaker. Otherwise, turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The maximum power output will be lower when the built-in battery is running low. If the ambient temperature is extremely low or high, the speaker will stop charging the built-in battery for safety reasons. It may also stop charging if charging continues for a long period of time. If such an event occurs, bring the temperature up or down to an operating temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F), disconnect and reconnect the supplied AC power cord (mains lead), and then let the speaker charge the built-in battery once again. Do not charge the speaker's built-in battery in places where the speaker is likely to have water splashed on it. The supplied AC power cord (mains lead) as well as the jacks and ports (AC IN/USB/AUDIO IN/OPTICAL IN/MIC/GUITAR) behind the cap are not designed for water resistant. Even if you do not intend to use the speaker for a long time, charge the built-in battery sufficiently once every 6 months to maintain its performance.

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 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. 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, 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. Noise or sound interruption may occur depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with the speaker, the communication environment or the usage environment. A device with a built-in radio or tuner cannot be connected to the speaker via a BLUETOOTH connection since noise may occur in broadcasts. Locate the speaker farther away from a TV, radio or tuner, etc. since noise may occur in broadcasts. 5-047-067-11(1) Copyright 2023 Sony Corporation 96 Help Guide Wireless Speaker SRS-XV800 Licenses This product contains software that Sony uses under a licensing agreement with the owner of its copyright.
