Additional information
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 the CD player
On headphones/earphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones 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.
• 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.
On handling CDs
• To keep the CD clean, handle it by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto the CD.
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts. Do not
leave the CD in a car parked under direct
sunlight.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones/earphones 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.
22
Page 23
The supplied 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 d 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.
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
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.
Keep the plug of your headphones clean to
obtain optimum sound. Wipe it with a dry,
soft cloth.
To remove any 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.
