If this does not remove the water, remove the earbuds and pat part (A) of the headphones 5 to
10 times on a dry cloth.
Cleaning after use
If perspiration, sand, or dirt gets on your Walkman, rinse it off with fresh water at room
temperature or gently running tap water immediately. When you wash the Walkman, wash it
by hand without using a brush, etc. However, do not expose the headphone sections to direct
strong streames of water when doing so. Do not wash the Walkman in a washing machine or
ultrasound bath, etc. Do not use detergent, chemicals, or wet wipes.
After washing your Walkman, wipe away the water on the Walkman using a soft cloth, and
then leave the Walkman in a well-ventilated shady place to dry. Do not dry the Walkman
using hot air from a hair dryer. Doing so may cause deformation and deterioration of the water
resistant performance.
Because the headphone sections (A) on the second figure are not water-tight, sound quality
of your Walkman may deteriorate if water gets inside the headphones. If water gets in the
headphones, follow the procedures below to remove water. Do not use the Walkman until it
dries completely.
Wipe the moisture off your Walkman using a dry cloth.
Pat the headphones dry with a soft dry cloth. Repeat patting about 20 times.
Put a dry cloth under the headphones, and leave your Walkman at room temperature for
about 2 or 3 hours.
Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications
apply to
Applicable fresh water, tap water, perspiration, pool water
Not
applicable
liquids other than those above (examples: soapy water, detergent water, water
with bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, seawater, etc.)
The water resistant performance of your Walkman is based on our
measurements under the conditions described above. Note that malfunctions
as a result of water immersion caused by misuse by the customer are not
covered by the warranty.
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.
