Precautions

On rechargeable battery and charger

• Remove the charger unit from the wall outlet as soon as possible after the rechargeable battery has been charged. Overcharging may damage the rechargeable battery.

•The battery charger and the rechargeable battery may become warm during charging, but this is not a problem.

• Do not tear off the film on the rechargeable battery.

•Use only the supplied battery charger to charge the supplied rechargeable battery.

• Be sure not to short-circuit the battery. When you carry it with you, use the supplied carrying case. If you are not using the case, do not carry the battery with other metallic objects such as keys, rings in your pocket.

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

• The nameplate indicating the operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior of the battery charger.

On batteries

•Do not charge a dry battery.

•Do not carry the dry or rechargeable 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 do not use the Walkman for a long time, remove the battery to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.

On the unit

•Do not drop the unit or give a shock to the unit, or it may cause a malfunction.

• 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.

• 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 long period of time, set it in the playback mode and warm it up for a few minutes before you start using again.

On tapes longer than 90 minutes

We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90 minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback. They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

On the remote control

Use the supplied remote control only with this unit.

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 and remote control plugs and the terminals periodically with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.
