Design and specifications are subject to change without 

notice.

Optional replacement earbuds can be ordered from 

your nearest authorized Sony retailer or www.sony.

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications 

not expressly approved in this manual could void your 

authority to operate this equipment.

Supplied noise isolation earbuds provide a snug fit for 

effective attenuation of ambient noise.



  Prolonged use of snugly fitting earbuds may strain 

your ears. If you experience discomfort, discontinue 

use.



  The pressure-relieving urethane cushion is extremely 

soft. If it breaks or detaches from the earbuds, it will 

not take its correct position and the earbuds will lose 

their noise isolation function.



  The urethane cushion may deteriorate over time. If 

the pressure-relieving power is lost and the urethane 

cushion hardens, the earbuds may lose their noise 

isolation function.



  Do not wash the earbuds. Keep them dry, otherwise 

they may deteriorate quickly.

Keep earbuds clean. To clean the earbuds, wash them 

with a mild detergent solution.

After use, remove the headphones slowly.

Headphones are designed to fit closely in your ears. If the 

headphones are pressed hard while in use or taken off too 

quickly, they may cause injury.

Wearing headphones may produce a diaphragm click 

sound. This is not a malfunction.

High volume may affect your hearing. 

For traffic safety, do not use while 

driving or cycling.

Install the earbuds firmly. If an earbud 

accidentally detaches and is left in 

your ear, it may cause injury.



  Do not leave the stereo headphones in a location 

subject to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.

Static electricity accumulated in the body may cause 

mild tingling in your ears.

To minimise the effect, wear clothes made from natural 

materials.

Plays/pauses a track of the connected iPod product 

with a single press. Skips to the next track with a double 

press. Skips to the previous track with a triple press. 

Starts the “VoiceOver*” feature with a long press (if 

available).

Press once to answer the call. Press again to end. Hold 

down for about two seconds to reject an incoming call. 

When you let go, two low beeps confirm the call was 

rejected.
*  Availability of the “VoiceOver” feature depends on 

iPod and its software version.

Be careful not to unintentionally press any buttons 

when you carry your iPod with this unit connected.
