B Additional information  
On headphones/earphones  
Road safety  
Precautions  
Do not use headphones/earphones while  
driving, cycling, or operating any motorized  
vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is  
illegal in some 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.  
On safety  
• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into  
the CD player, unplug it and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC  
IN 4.5 V (external power input) jack.  
On the CD player  
• Keep the lens on the CD player clean and  
do not touch it. If you do so, the lens may  
be damaged and the CD player will not  
operate properly.  
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the  
CD player. The CD player and the CD may  
be damaged.  
Preventing hearing damage  
Avoid using 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.  
• Do not leave the CD player in a location  
near heat sources, or in a place subject to  
direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,  
moisture, rain, mechanical shock,  
unleveled surface, or in a car with its  
windows closed.  
• If the CD player causes interference to the  
radio or television reception, turn off the  
CD player or move it away from the radio  
or television.  
Consideration 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.  
On the water resistance  
• Before unfastening the buckle to open the  
lid, be sure to wipe off water, dust or sand  
on the exterior of the unit. Open and close  
the lid where water or sand cannot fall in  
the unit, and make sure that your hands are  
dry. If water or sand falls in the unit,  
trouble may occur.  
• When closing the lid, check that there is no  
dust or sand on the rubber packing around  
the lid. Then close the lid firmly with the  
buckle.  
On handling CDs  
• To keep the CD clean, handle it by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not stick paper or tape onto the CD.  
• 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.  
Not these ways  
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or  
heat sources such as hot air ducts. Do not  
leave the CD in a car parked under direct  
sunlight.  
20  
 
• The supplied AC power adaptor is not  
water resistant. To prevent shock hazard,  
avoid using the player near water during  
AC operation.  
• Cover the DC IN 4.5 V jack and i jack  
with the attached rubber caps when  
nothing is connected to these jacks. If the  
inside of the jacks are contaminated with  
water or sand, rust may develop and cause  
trouble.  
Maintenance  
To clean the casing  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water  
or a mild detergent solution. Do not use  
alcohol, benzine or thinner.  
To clean the headphones  
plug  
Keep the plug of your headphones clean to  
obtain optimum sound. Wipe it with a dry,  
soft cloth.  
Notes  
• Since the unit is airtight, you may not be able to  
open the lid when there is a sudden change in air  
pressure inside the unit. This happens when the  
unit is transported on a plane or moved from a  
warm place to a cold place. In this case, open the  
rubber cap on the DC IN 4.5 V jack.  
• To prevent water from leaking in, the buckle is  
designed to be slightly stiff. Be careful not to  
catch a fingernail on the buckle when unfastening  
the lid.  
To remove any dust or sand  
from the rubber packing  
Any sand or dust on the rubber packing will  
prevent the lid from shutting tightly, and  
water may leak in. Brush off the dust once in  
a while.  
We recommend the replacement of the  
rubber packing every year which is available  
optionally at an authorized Sony service  
facility.  
Do not hold the player with the buckle  
by itself. Doing so may damage the  
unit.
