Caution

Notes on use

• Do not touch the rechargeable battery with bare hands if it is leaking. Since battery liquid may remain in your Walkman, consult your nearest Sony dealer if the battery has leaked. If the liquid gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes as doing so may lead to blindness. Wash out your eyes with clean water, and consult a doctor.
  Also, if the liquid gets on to your body or clothes, wash it off immediately. If you do not, it may cause burns or injury. If you are burned or injured by the liquid from the battery, consult a doctor.

• If your Walkman causes interference to radio or television reception, turn your Walkman off and move it away from the radio or television.

• In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and it is not a malfunction of your Walkman.
  The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.

• Refrain from using your Walkman according to the in-flight announcements during take off or landing in an aircraft.

• If you see lightning or hear thunder, take off your Walkman immediately.

• If you experience an allergic reaction to your Walkman, stop using it at once and contact a doctor.

Notes on usage environment

• Never use your Walkman in a place subject to extremes of light, temperature, moisture or vibration. Also, never leave your Walkman exposed to high temperature such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight. Your Walkman may become discolored, distorted or damaged.

• Do not leave your Walkman in a place subject to excessive dust.

• Do not leave your Walkman on an unstable surface or in an inclined position.
