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 recharge-
able 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 handling
• 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 a
long period of time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for
a few minutes before you start
using again.
On tapes longer than 90
minutes

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 the
volume or discontinue use.
Caring for others

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