Recharge your battery. Plug the supplied USB cable cord into the bottom of your Walkman and the AC power adapter. Plug the AC adapter into a functional wall outlet, and allow the Walkman to charge until you see the plug icon appear on the display (approximately two hours). If the battery won't hold a charge after a full recharge, then the battery needs to be replaced.
