Precautions
Notes on headphones
Concerning road safety
Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or
operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas. It can also be poten-
tially dangerous to play your headsets 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 at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If
you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce 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.
Taking Care of Your Walkman
• Do not expose the Walkman to extreme temperatures,
direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical
shock. Never leave the Walkman in a car parked in the
sun.
• Prolonged use may contaminate the tape head. If
sound
drop-out or excessive noise occurs, clean the head and
tape path with alcohol.
• Clean the headphones plug periodically for optimum
sound.
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the case.
About the Battery Compartment Lid
If the battery compartment lid is detached by an acciden-
tal drop, excessive force etc., attach it as illustrated in the
numbered order.
If you have any question or problem concerning your
Walkman, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
