zAdditional Information

• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the

unit, 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.

• When you are not using the unit for a long

time, disconnect all power sources from the
unit.

• The nameplate indicating operating voltage,

power consumption, etc. is located at the
bottom of the AC power adaptor (for Middle
East only.)

• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor. If

your unit is not supplied with it, use AC-
E45HG AC power adaptor. Do not use any
other AC power adaptor.

• To unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall

outlet, grasp the adaptor itself, do not pull its
cord.

• Do not throw the batteries into fire.
• Do not carry the rechargeable battery with

coins or other metallic objects.  It can generate

metallic object.

• Keep the lens of the unit clean and do not touch

it.  If you do so, the lens may be damaged and
the unit will not operate properly.

The unit and the CD may be damaged.

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 unit causes interference to radio or

television reception, turn off the unit or move it
away from the radio or television.

• Do not wrap the unit in a cloth or blanket

during use as it may cause malfunction or
serious accidents.

Road safety
Do not use headphones 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.

Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones 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.

Caring 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.

Clean the lens with a lens cleaning kit KK-DM1.

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water or a
mild detergent solution.  Do not use alcohol,
benzine or thinner.

Should any problem persist after you have made
these checks, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
