On battery
To remove the arm belt from the

• Do not carry dry 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.

remove the battery to avoid any damage caused by battery
leakage and subsequent corrosion.
While pulling “LIFT RELEASE” of the arm

place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,
moisture, rain, mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows
closed.
• We do not recommend the use of tape longer than 90 minutes.
They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. This may
cause malfunction of the unit or sound deterioration.

using the unit at high temperatures (above 40°C/104°F) or at
low temperatures (below 0°C/32°F). At room temperature, the
display will return to its normal operating condition.
• If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before you

On water resistance
To insert a battery D
• Before opening or closing the cassette lid, be sure to wipe off
water, dust or sand on the exterior of the Walkman. (The
Walkman is not water-resistant with the cassette lid open.)
• Since water in the headphones/earphones jack may cause
rust, cover it with the attached rubber cap when the
headphones/earphones are not in use.
• Since the Walkman is airtight, you may not be able to open the
cassette lid because of sudden change in air pressure inside
the Walkman, which happens after being transported on a
plane or moving from a warm place to a cold place. To open
the cassette lid see “Troubleshooting”.
1 Unfasten the buckle.
2 Open the cassette lid.
3 Release the catch to open the battery
compartment lid and insert one size AA
(R6) dry battery with correct polarity.
• The supplied headphones/earphones 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/earphones 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.
• Any sand or dust on the rubber packing will prevent the
cassette lid 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.
