ear and the one marked L in your left ear. Push
the earbud into your ear carefully so that the

so that they fit your ears snugly.
3 Turn on the power of the headphones.

and you can listen to music more clearly at a

system that are not covered in this manual, please consult
the nearest Sony dealer.

Notes

canceled completely.

hands. The noise canceling function may not work properly.
The noise canceling function may not work properly unless
the headphones are put on firmly.
You can use the headphones even without turning on the
power. In this case, the noise canceling function is not active,
and the headphones operate as passive headphones.
After you turn on the power of the headphones, you may hear
a slight hiss. This is the operating sound of the noise canceling
function, not a malfunction.
In a quiet place, or depending on certain noises, you may feel
that the noise canceling function is not effective, or that noise
is accentuated. In this case, turn off the power of the
headphone.
Interference noise can occur from nearby cellular phones.
Should this occur, locate the headphones further away from
the cellular phone(s).

To clean the earbuds, first remove them from the
headphones, and then clean them with water and mild
detergent. After cleaning, dry each earbud carefully
before use.
The earbuds will need to be replaced from time to time. If
they are worn out by daily use or longtime storage,
replace them with new ones.

memory audio players. Sony is not liable for damage to

Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.

traffic accident. Also, avoid listening with your headphones
in situations where hearing must not be impaired, for
example, a railroad crossing, a construction site, etc.

Si les oreillettes ne s’adaptent pas bien à vos oreilles, vous
n’entendrez peut-être pas les sons très graves. Pour profiter d’un
son de meilleure qualité, changez la taille des oreillettes ou réglez-
les afin qu’elles s’adaptent bien à la forme de vos oreilles et
qu’elles soient confortablement installées. Les oreillettes de taille
M sont déjà fixées sur les écouteurs à l’achat. Si vous constatez
que les oreillettes de taille M ne conviennent pas à vos oreilles,
remplacez-les par les oreillettes de taille S ou L fournies.
Lorsque vous changez les oreillettes, fixez-les correctement sur les
écouteurs pour éviter qu’elles se ne détachent et restent dans vos
oreilles.
