Avoiding water and moisture

•Note that condensation may form temporarily in cases such as when the player is moved quickly from a low-temperature environment to a high temperature environment or used in a room that has a heater just turned on. Condensation creates a phenomenon where moisture in the air adheres to surfaces such as metal panels, etc., and then changes to liquid. If condensation forms in the device, leave it turned off until the condensation disappears. If you use the device with condensation present, a malfunction may result.

•The device is not waterproof. Remember to follow the precautions below.

– Be careful not to drop the device into a sink or other

container filled with water.

– Do not use the device in humid locations or bad weather,

such as in the rain or snow.

– Do not get the device wet. If you touch the device with wet hands, or put it in a damp article of clothing, the device may get wet and this may cause a malfunction.

Charging the device

•Heat may build up in the device while charging, or if it is used

for an extended period of time.

•Use the supplied USB cable only. Do not use any other USB

cable.

•Never wrap the device in anything when it is being charged.

Heat build-up in the device may cause malfunction or damage.

•If the battery lasts only half the normal time even after being

fully charged, it may be reaching the end of its life.

Cleaning the device

•Clean the device with a soft cloth, such as a cleaning cloth for

eyeglasses. Make sure that there is no dust or dirt on the soft cloth, as the device may be damaged.

•Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or

solvent, such as alcohol or benzene, as it may mar the finish of the case.

For customers in the USA FCC Compliance Statement

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

If you have any questions about this product, you may call: Sony Customer Information Center 1-800-222-SONY (7669) or http://www.sony.com/ The number below is for the FCC related matters only. Regulatory Information

Declaration of Conformity Trade Name: SONY Model No.: DPT-RP1 Responsible Party: Sony Electronics Inc. Address: 16535 Via Esprillo, San Diego, CA92127 U.S.A. Telephone Number: 858-942-2230 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

•In order to comply with FCC radio-frequency radiation exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled exposure, this device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. DPT-RP1 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
