Notes on charging the battery
The USB cradle supplied with your Walkman is not water resistant.
Before charging the battery, make sure your Walkman is not wet.
If there is moisture on the Walkman, wipe it off completely, and leave the Walkman at
room temperature to dry it until no moisture remains on the Walkman before you start
charging.
Never use the USB cradle (supplied) with wet hands or with your Walkman wet. Doing so
may cause an electric shock, smoke emission, or a fire, etc.
Notes on using your Walkman
Do not pour hot water directly on your Walkman and do not blow hot air from a hair dryer,
etc., directly on the Walkman. Never use the Walkman in high temperature locations such as
in saunas or near a stove.
The earbuds seal your ears. Therefore, be aware that there is a risk of damage to your ears or
eardrums if strong pressure is applied to the earbuds, or the earbuds are suddenly removed
from your ears. Due to this risk, do not do vigorous exercise, dive into a swimming pool, etc.,
while wearing your Walkman.
