Notes on use
The following descriptions are important for using your Walkman. Be sure to follow the
instructions below.
Do not touch the rechargeable battery with bare hands if it is leaking. Since battery liquid may
remain in your Walkman, consult your nearest Sony dealer if the battery has leaked. If the
liquid gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes as it may lead to blindness. Wash out your
eyes with clean water, and consult a doctor.
Also, if the liquid gets on to your body or clothes, wash it off immediately. If you do not, it may
cause burns or injury. If you get burned or injured by the liquid from the battery, consult a
doctor.
If your Walkman causes interference to radio or television reception, turn the Walkman off
and move it away from the radio or television.
In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a result of
static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction of your Walkman.
The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.
When using a strap (not supplied), be careful to avoid catching it on objects you pass by.
Furthermore be careful not to swing your Walkman by the strap to avoid bumping people.
Refrain from using your Walkman as requested by in-flight announcements during takeoff or
landing in an aircraft.
If you see lightning or hear thunder, take off the headphones immediately and refrain from
using your Walkman.
If you experience an allergic reaction to the supplied headphones, stop using them at once
and contact a doctor.
Notes on usage environment
Never use your Walkman where it will be subjected to extremes of light, temperature,
moisture or vibration. For example, never leave the Walkman in a car parked in the sun or
under direct sunlight. It may become discolored, distorted or damaged.
Do not leave your Walkman in a place subject to excessive dust.
Do not leave your Walkman on an unstable surface or in an inclined position.
Notes on handling your “WALKMAN”
When you unplug the headphones from your Walkman, make sure to hold the headphone
plug to unplug it. Pulling by the headphone cord itself may damage it.
Do not apply strong force to the surface of the LCD. This may cause a distortion in colors or
brightness, or cause a malfunction of the LCD.
When using your Walkman, remember to follow the precautions below in order to avoid
warping the cabinet or causing the Walkman to malfunction.
Do not sit down with the Walkman in your back pocket.
