RECYCLING NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE

BATTERIES

Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are

recyclable. You can help preserve

our environment by returning

your used rechargeable batteries to

the collection and recycling

location nearest you.

For more information regarding recycling of

rechargeable batteries, call toll free 1-800-822-8837 or

visit http://www.rbrc.org/

Caution:

Do not handle damaged or leaking Nickel

Metal Hydride batteries.

Precautions

 To disconnect the AC adaptor, pull it out by the

plug, not the cord.

 Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker,

keep credit cards using magnetic coding or

spring-wound watches, CRT-based TVs, or

projectors, etc., away from the unit to prevent

possible damage from the magnet.

 Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat

source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a

place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,

mechanical vibration, or shock.

 Allow adequate air circulation to prevent

internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on

a surface (a rug, a blanket, etc.) or near

materials (a curtain) which might block the

ventilation holes.

 Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by

qualified personnel before operating it any

further.

 Do not handle the unit with wet hands.

 Do not place the unit anywhere near water.

NOTES ON LITHIUM BATTERY

 Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a

good contact.

 Be sure to observe the correct polarity when

installing the battery.

 Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,

otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Note
 In this Reference Guide, “iPod” is used as a

general reference to functions on an iPod or

iPhone, unless otherwise specified by the text

or illustrations.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
