“Power Management”
Power management helps you to avoid unnecessary battery consumption. “On” is set by default.
Power management operates as follows:
After 60 minutes of inactivity, the Reader enters sleep mode automatically and battery consumption is minimized.
After 5 days of inactivity, the Reader automatically shuts down and stops consuming the battery power.
If battery power is at a low level, the Reader will shut down after 60 minutes of inactivity.
For details, refer to “About power management” ( page 20 )
Note
The Reader does not enter sleep mode after 60 minutes of inactivity even if “Power Management” is set to “On,” when:
– connected to a computer using the supplied USB cable
– connected to an AC outlet
– playing a track or slideshow
The Reader does not wake up from sleep mode when receiving periodicals. Therefore, if other operations are not performed for 5 days, the Reader will automatically shut down by power management.

Radio Frequency exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR)
This Reader is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP and IEEE, through periodic and through evaluation of scientific studies.
These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population.
The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a Reader.
Continued
177
Other Information
The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual
SAR level of the Reader while it is operating can be well below this value.
This is because the Reader is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
Variation in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.
While there may be difference in SAR levels among
Readers, all Sony Reader models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
The tests are performed in positions and locations
(that is, at the worn on the body) as required by FCC for each model.
This Reader model PRS-900 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the Reader transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
SAR data information for residents in countries that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the
ICNIRP, which is 2W/kg averaged over 10g of issue.
In other countries, such as the US, the adopted limit is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1g of issue.
Continued
178
Other Information
This Reader only meets the RF Exposure guidelines when used with the supplied cover accessory
(PRSA-ZC9).
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
On the battery pack
If the battery pack is mishandled, the battery pack can burst, cause a fire or even chemical burns. Observe the following cautions.
