Precautions
On installation
• Never use your Network Walkman where it
will be subjected to extremes of light,
temperature, moisture or vibration.
• Never leave the Network Walkman
exposed to high temperature, such as in a
car parked in the sun or under direct
sunlight.
On water resistance
• Do not immerse the Network Walkman in
water, as it is not water resistant.
• Before opening or closing the case cover,
be sure to wipe off water, dust or sand on
the exterior of the unit. (The unit is not
water-resistant with the upper lid open.)
• Do not touch the Network Walkman with
wet hands when the case cover is open.
• The supplied headphones 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.
• 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.
On the headphones
Road Safety

cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle.
It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in

dangerous to play your Network Walkman at
a high volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise
extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

Avoid using the headphones at a high
volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous, loud and extended play. If you

volume or discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This
will allow you to hear outside sounds and to
be considerate to the people around you.
