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 it 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 get burned or injured by the liquid from the battery, consult a doctor.

• If your Walkman causes interference to radio or television reception, turn the 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 not a malfunction of your Walkman.
  The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.

• When using a strap (not supplied), be careful to avoid catching it on objects you pass by. Furthermore be careful not to swing your Walkman by the strap to avoid bumping people.

• Refrain from using your Walkman as requested by in-flight announcements during takeoff or landing in an aircraft.
