Precautions

On battery

• Do not carry dry batteries with coins or other metallic objects. It can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the batteries are accidentally contacted by a metallic object.

• When you are not going to use the Walkman for a long time, remove the battery to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.

On handling

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

•We do not recommend the use of tape longer than 90 minutes. They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. This may cause malfunction of the unit or sound deterioration.

• The LCD display may become hard to see or slow down when using the unit at high temperatures (above 40°C/104°F) or at low temperatures (below 0°C/32°F). At room temperature, the display will return to its normal operating condition.

• If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before you start using again.

On water resistance

•Before opening or closing the lid, be sure to wipe off water, dust or sand on the exterior of the Walkman. (The Walkman is not water-resistant with the lid open.)

• Since water in the headphones/earphones jack may cause rust, cover it with the attached rubber cap when the headphones/ earphones are not in use.

• Since the Walkman is airtight, you may not be able to open the lid because of sudden change in air pressure inside the Walkman, which happens after being transported on a plane or moving from a warm place to a cold place. To open the lid see “Troubleshooting”.

• The supplied headphones/earphones 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.

•If the Walkman or the headphones/earphones are immersed in salt water, be sure to wash them in non-running fresh water. Never wash them under running water, and never use soap or detergent.

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

•We recommend the packing to be changed every year. Replacement packing is available at an authorized Sony Service Facility.

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 headphones/earphones at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Do not use 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.

Caring for others

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

On maintenance

• Clean the tape head and tape path, using a cotton swab and commercially available cleaning solvent after every 10 hours of use.

•To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.

• Clean the headphones/earphones plugs periodically.

Troubleshooting

The display shows incorrect information.

• The battery is weak. Replace the battery with a new one.

The display and the operation are not normal.

•Remove the battery for 30 seconds or more, and then insert it again. If this does not solve the problem, remove the battery and leave the unit without battery for 30 minutes or more, and then insert it again. In this case, preset the stations again, since the preset stations are erased from the memory.

The cassette lid cannot be opened.

• Open the rubber cap, then open the cassette lid. When the cassette lid opens, remember to close the rubber cap to prevent intrusion of water.

The sound is distorted.

•Set the Y switch firmly to the correct position.

電池須知

• 不要把乾電池和硬幣或其他金屬小件放在一起攜帶。因為電池的正負極如果同時與金屬小件接觸而通電，將產生熱。

• 當長期間不要用Walkman 時，請取出電池以免因電池漏液而腐蝕損壞機器。

處理須知

• 別把機器放在靠近熱源或會直接照射到陽光，多沙塵或潮濕，會淋到雨，有機械衝擊的地方，或放在關閉著門窗的汽車裡。

• 請不要使用9 0 分鐘以上長度的盒帶，這些盒帶很薄，容易被拉伸。這可能導致本機故障或音質變差。

• 在高溫（40℃以上）或低溫（0℃以下）環境中使用機器時，液晶顯示器可能變成較難看清。但如果放在室溫中，顯示器便可恢復正常的功能。

• 機器如果長期放置沒用，請打開使成播放模式並等數分鐘之後再開始使用機器。

耐水須知

• 要打開或關上蓋子之前，一定要擦乾 Walkman外面的水分，塵埃或沙粒。（當打開著機蓋時，Walkman 是不耐水的。）

• 頭戴耳機耳機插孔中如果留有水分，可能引起生鏽。不用頭戴耳機耳機時，請蓋上附有的橡皮罩。

• Walkman是完全密封的。當Walkman內部氣壓發生變化時，您可能會打不開蓋子。例如容易發生在飛行中的飛機裡或從溫暖處搬到寒冷處。此時，要打開蓋子，請參看“故障排除”。

• 附帶的頭戴耳機耳機並不能浸水或連續接觸著水分。如果不慎掉進水裡，或弄潮濕了，即請用軟布擦乾。切勿吹風機吹乾。

• Walkman或頭戴耳機耳機如果浸了鹽水，即請用非流動的淡水洗淨。不可用流動的淡水洗，也不可使用肥皂或洗滌劑。

• 橡皮襯墊上如果沾有沙塵，將會妨礙關閉時的密封性。因此，可能會漏水。每次都請刷乾淨其上面的塵埃。

• 襯墊最好能每年更換一次。更換用襯墊，可在指定的Sony服務中心買到。

頭戴耳機耳機須知

路上安全

在駕車，騎單車或操作任何機動車輛時，請勿使用頭戴耳機耳機。因為可能會引起交通事故，某些地區甚至有法律禁止使用。步行中，尤其是在橫渡馬路時，如果用大音量使用頭戴耳機耳機也會有潛在性危險的。在有潛在危險的地方，必須特別注意或暫停使用。

預防損傷聽覺

別用太大音量聽頭戴耳機耳機。聽覺專家勸告避免連續，大聲地使用耳機。您的耳朵若有耳鳴經驗，便須減小音量或不連續使用耳機。

其他顧慮

保持適當的音量聽耳機。這不但可以同時聽到您周圍的動靜，還可顧慮到周圍人們的安寧。

保養須知

• 每使用了10個小時，即請用棉棒和市售清潔液清潔一下磁頭和磁帶通道。

• 要清潔機殼時，請用軟布輕蘸濕水分擦拭。不可使用酒精，汽油或稀釋溶劑。

• 定期清潔頭戴耳機耳機插頭。

故障排除

顯示器顯示錯誤的資訊。

• 電池變弱了。請更換新的電池。

顯示器和操作不正常。

• 取出一下電池，等30秒或以上時間之後，再把它裝上。這仍然不能解決問題時，請再取出電池而讓沒裝電池的機器放置30分鐘或以上的時間之後再裝入電池。此時，請再預設一下電台。因為存儲器中的預設電台已被清除。

不能打開機蓋。

• 請打開橡皮罩，然後再打開機蓋。機蓋開著時，請記著要關上橡皮罩以防侵水。

聲音失真。

• 請把Y 開關穩當設定於正確的位置。
