Connecting Your Device to USB Accessories

You can use a USB host adapter to connect your device to USB accessories such as

USB mass storage devices, game controllers, USB keyboards, and USB mice. If the

USB accessory has a micro USB connector, a USB host adapter is not necessary.

USB host adapters are sold separately. Sony does not guarantee that all USB accessories are

supported by your device.
