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 potentially 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
•Before opening or closing the cassette holder, be sure to wipe
off water, dust or sand on the exterior of the 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.
•Since water in the headphones jack may cause rust, cover it
with the attached rubber cap when the headphones are not in
use.
•The supplied headphones are not meant to be immersed in
water or come in continuous contact with water. If they are
accidentally dropped into water or get wet, dry them with a
soft cloth. Never use an electric hair dryer.
•If the Walkman or the headphones are immersed in salt water,
be sure to wash them in non-running fresh water. Never wash
them under running water, and never use soap or detergent.
•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 rubber packing
•Any sand or dust on the rubber packing will prevent the
cassette holder from closing tightly, and water may leak in.
Brush off the dust once in a while.
•We recommend the packing to be changed every year.
Replacement packing is available at an authorized Sony
Service Facility.
If you have any question or problem concerning your Walkman,
please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
