Precautions
Operate the unit on the power source specified

pull it out by the plug, not the cord.
The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is connected
to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been
turned off.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker,
keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding
or spring-wound watches away from the unit to
prevent possible damage from the magnet.
Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat
source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration, or shock.
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent
internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on
a surface (a rug, a blanket, etc.) or near
materials (a curtain) which might block the
ventilation holes.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution.
Never touch the wire of the external FM aerial
during a thunderstorm. Furthermore,
immediately disconnect the AC power cord
from the radio.

About the backup
battery
To keep accurate time, this unit contains a

consult a Sony dealer. The preinstalled CR2032
battery is considered part of the product, and is
covered by the warranty.
You are required to show “Note for customers in
Europe” (in this instruction) to a Sony dealer in
order to validate the warranty for this product.
