Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the CD player, unplug
it and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• 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 the AC power adaptor
• Use only the AC power adaptor supplied.
If your player is not supplied with an AC
power adaptor, use an AC-E45HG AC power
adaptor*. Do not use any other AC power
adaptor. It may cause a malfunction.
* Not available in Australia and some other regions. Ask your
dealer for detailed information.
• 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 dry batteries
• Do not throw the batteries into fire.
• Do not carry the batteries with coins or other metallic objects.
It can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the
battery are accidentally contacted by a metallic object.
• 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.
• 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.
On the CD player
• 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.
On headphones/earphones
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
headphones 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.
On the water resistance
• Before unfastening the buckle to open the lid, be sure to wipe off
water, dust or sand on the exterior of the unit. Open and close the
lid where water or sand cannot fall in the unit, and make sure that
your hands are dry. If water or sand falls in the unit, 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 with the
buckle.
• 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 AC power adaptor is not water resistant. To prevent shock
hazard, avoid using the 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.
Notes
• Since the unit is airtight, you may not be able to open the lid
when there is a sudden change in air pressure inside the unit. This
happens when the unit 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.
• To prevent water from leaking in, the buckle is designed to be
slightly stiff. Be careful not to catch a fingernail on the buckle
when unfastening the lid.

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 headphones plug
Keep the plug of your headphones clean to obtain optimum sound.

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.
To clean the strap
Wipe the strap with a soft cloth moistened in water. Do not wash it.
