•Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 4.5 V (external power input) jack.

On power sources

When you are not using the CD player for a long time, disconnect all power sources from the CD player.

On AC power adaptor

•Use only the supplied AC power adaptor. If your CD player is not supplied with the one, use the optional AC-E45HG AC power adaptor. Do not use any other AC power adaptor. It may cause a malfunction.

Polarity of the plug

•Do not touch the AC power adaptor with wet hands.

•Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adaptor, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately.

On rechargeable batteries and dry batteries

•Do not charge the dry batteries.

•Do not mix rechargeable batteries with dry batteries.

•Do not mix new batteries with old ones.

•Do not use different types of batteries together.

•When the batteries are not to be used for a long time, remove them from the CD player.

•If battery leakage occurs, wipe off any deposit in the battery compartment, and install new batteries. In case the deposit adheres to you, wash it off thoroughly.

Notes on the rechargeable batteries

•To keep the original battery capacity for a long time, charge the batteries only when they are completely depleted.

•If the battery is new or has not been used for a long time, it may not be charged completely until you charge and discharge it several times.

•If the rechargeable batteries and the metallic objects get

contacted, heat or fire may occur due to a short circuit.

When to replace the rechargeable batteries

If the battery life becomes shorter by about half, replace the batteries with new rechargeable batteries.

•Keep the lens on the CD player clean and do not touch it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the CD player will not operate properly.

•Do not put any heavy object on top of the CD player. The CD player and the CD may be damaged.

•Do not leave the CD player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock, unleveled surface, or in a car with its windows closed.

•If the CD player causes interference to the radio or television reception, turn off the CD player or move it away from the radio or television.

•Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this CD player. Attempting to do so may damage the CD player. Do not use such discs.

Note on moisture condensation

If the CD player is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, it may result in moisture condensation on the pickup lens and malfunction or playback difficulties.

Should this occur, leave the CD player for a few hours, then try playback again.

On headphones

Road safety

Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Consideration for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.

Do not immerse in water

This product is not meant to be immersed in water or come in continuous contact with water.

•Before turning the OPEN/LOCK knob to open the lid, be sure to wipe off water, dust or sand on the exterior of the CD player. Open and close the lid where water or sand cannot fall in the CD player, and make sure that your hands are dry. If water or sand falls in the CD player, trouble may occur.

•When closing the lid, check that there is no dust or sand on the rubber packing around the lid. Then close the lid firmly and lock it by turning the OPEN/LOCK knob.

•If the CD player is splashed with salt water, wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash under running water; do not use soap or detergent; or do not dry with an electric hair dryer.

•The supplied headphones are not meant to be immersed in water or come in continuous contact with water. If they are accidentally dropped into water or get wet, dry them with a soft cloth. Never use an electric hair dryer.

•The supplied or optional AC power adaptor is not water resistant. To prevent shock hazard, avoid using the CD player near water during AC operation.

•Cover the DC IN 4.5 V jack and \jack with the attached rubber caps when nothing is connected to these jacks. If the inside of the jacks are contaminated with water or sand, rust may develop and cause trouble.

Note

Since the CD player is airtight, you may not be able to open the lid when there is a sudden change in air pressure inside the CD player. This happens when the CD player is transported on a plane or moved from a warm place to a cold place. In this case, open the rubber cap on the DC IN 4.5 V jack.

Maintenance

To clean the casing

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.

To clean the plugs

If the plugs become dirty, there is no sound or noise is heard. Clean them with a dry soft cloth periodically.

To remove dust or sand from the rubber packing

Any sand or dust on the rubber packing will prevent the lid from shutting tightly, and water may leak in. Brush off the dust once in a while.

We recommend the replacement of the rubber packing every year which is available optionally at an authorized Sony service facility.
