Troubleshooting

in the Help Guide (HTML document), and try any
corrective actions listed.

or paper clip, etc.
When you reset your Walkman, please make
sure of the following.

Symptom Cause/Remedy
The computer does
not recognize your
Walkman.
ÿ ˎ Your Walkman is not attached to the USB
cradle (supplied) properly.
ÿ q Attach your Walkman to the USB cradle
properly and firmly. Charging will start (the
OPR lamp lights up in red) even if the
connection was not made properly, but there
is a possibility that the computer has not
recognized the Walkman. In such a case,
remove the Walkman from the USB cradle
and then attach to the USB cradle again.
ÿ ˎ The remaining battery power is low or
insufficient.
ÿ q Recharge the battery. When you use your
Walkman for the first time, or if you have not
used the Walkman for a long time, it may
take a few minutes to be recognized by the
computer, even if charging has already
started (the OPR lamp lights up in red).
Check that the computer recognizes the
Walkman after you have connected it to the
computer for about 5 minutes.

Precautions
About the in-ear headphones
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. When taking your Walkman
off, move the Walkman slowly up and down. Gently take the Walkman off
your ears.
About the headphones
ÿ ˎ Avoid playing the unit at so loud a volume that extended play might affect
your hearing.
ÿ ˎ At a high volume outside sounds may become inaudible. Avoid listening to
the unit in situations where hearing must not be impaired, for example,
while driving or cycling.
ÿ ˎ As the headphones are of open-air design, sounds go out through the
headphones. Remember not to disturb those close to you.
