• When you are not going to use your Walkman for a long time,

remove the battery to prevent damage from battery leakage
and corrosion.

• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a

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.

• The LCD display may become hard to see or slow down when

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
start using it again.

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 headphones/earphones at high volume while
walking, especially at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

Do not use headphones/earphones at high volume.  Hearing
experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play.  If
you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.

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 tape head and tape path using a cotton swab and

commercially available cleaning solvent after every 10 hours
of use.

• To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly moistened in

water. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.

• Clean the headphones/earphones plugs periodically.
