Precautions
On charging
• The supplied charging stand can be used
only with this unit. No other model can
be charged using this stand.
• Remove the AC power adaptor from the
wall outlet as soon as possible after the
rechargeable battery has been charged.
Overcharging may damage the
rechargeable battery.
• The charging stand and the rechargeable
battery may become warm during
charging, but this is not a problem.
• Do not tear off the film on the
rechargeable battery.
• Use only the supplied charging stand to
charge the supplied rechargeable battery.
• Be sure not to short-circuit the battery.
When you carry it with you, use the
supplied carrying case. If you are not
using the case, do not carry the battery
with other metallic objects such as keys,
rings in your pocket.
• If the rechargeable battery is new or has
not been used for a long time, it may not
be charged completely until you use it
several times.
On batteries
• Do not charge a dry battery.
• Do not carry the dry or rechargeable
batteries with coins or other metallic
objects. It can generate heat if the
positive and negative terminals of the
batteries are accidentally contacted by a
metallic object.
• When you do not use the Walkman for a
long time, remove the battery to avoid
any damage caused by battery leakage
and subsequent corrosion.
On handling
• Do not leave the unit in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,
moisture, rain, mechanical shock, or in a
car with its windows closed.
• The LCD display may become hard to
see or slow down when using the unit at
high temperatures (above 40˚C/104°F)
or at low temperatures (below 0˚C/
32°F). At room temperature, the display
will return to its normal operating
condition.
• We do not recommend the use of tape
longer than 90 minutes. They are very
thin and tend to be stretched easily. This
may cause malfunction of the unit or
sound deterioration.
• If the unit has not been used for long, set
it in the playback mode to warm up for a
few minutes before you start using
again.
