preserve our environment
by returning your
unwanted batteries to your
nearest point for collection,
recycling or proper disposal.
Note: In some areas the disposal of
nickel-cadmium batteries in household or
business trash may be prohibited.
RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) advises you about spent
battery collection by the following phone
number.
Call toll free number: 1-800-822-8837

On rechargeable battery
and charger
• Remove the charger unit from the wall
outlet as soon as possible after the
rechargeable battery has been charged.
Overcharging may damage the
rechargeable battery.
• The battery charger 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 battery charger
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.
• The nameplate indicating the operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located on the bottom exterior of the
battery charger.
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 the unit

situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Do not use headphones/earphones 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.
