Sony NWZ-W252 Manual

NWZ-W252   4-180-980-44(1)

When you close the USB jack cover, be careful not to allow sand, hair, dust or other minute dirt 

to keep the cover from closing properly. Even a minute foreign object can cause a water leak.

Never open or close the USB jack cover when using the player outdoors, or when water, sweat, 

or sand adheres to your hands. Water or sand entering the inside of the player may cause a 

malfunction. See “Cleaning after use” before opening the cover. 

Be sure that the player is completely dry when you open the USB jack cover.

Do not immerse the player in soapy water, shampoo, chemicals, water with detergent or bath 

agents, hot spring water, or seawater, etc., and do not pour these liquids on the player. Do not 

allow foreign objects, such as sand or dirt, etc., to adhere to the player. If foreign objects adhere 

to the player, rinse them off with normal temperature fresh water or gently running tap water 

immediately, and dry the player using a soft dry cloth. When you wash the player, make sure 

that the USB jack cover is closed securely, and wash it by hand without using a brush, etc. Do 

not wash the player in a washing machine, etc.

Do not expose the player to strong running water from a tap, etc.

Do not pour hot water on the player directly, and do not blow hot air from a hair dryer, etc., on 

the player directly. Never use the player in high temperature locations such as in saunas or near a 

stove.

Do not bring the player from a cold location to a warm location suddenly. Rapid temperature 

change causes condensation, and moisture may condense inside of the player.

When sweat, sand, or dirt adheres to the player, rinse them off with normal temperature fresh 

water or gently running tap water immediately. When you wash the player, make sure that the 

USB jack cover is closed securely, and wash it by hand without using a brush, etc. Do not wash 

the player in a washing machine or ultrasound bath, etc. Do not use detergent, chemicals, or wet 

tissues.

After washing the player, wipe away the water on the player using a soft cloth, and then leave the 

player in the breezy shade to dry. Do not dry the player using hot air from a hair dryer. Doing so 

may cause deformation and deterioration of the water resistant performance.

Because the headphone sections (see the figure on the front side) are not 

water-tight, if water enters the interior of the headphones, it may become 

difficult to hear sound from the player properly. In that case, follow the 

procedures below to remove water from the headphones. Do not use the 

player until it dries completely.
 Wipe the moisture off the player using a dry cloth.

 Put a dry cloth over the aperture of the headphone, and shake the 

headphone about 20 times.

 Put a dry cloth under the headphones, and leave the player at normal 

room temperature for about 2 or 3 hours.

•

The rubber gasket used in the USB jack cover may become cracked or deformed by prolonged 

use or due to use in certain environments. We recommend that you check condition or the 

USB jack cover periodically to maintain the water resistant performance.

USB jack covers matching each individual player color are available as repair parts for a fee.

For more details, consult your nearest Sony dealer or Sony Service Center.

 Pull the USB jack cover off to remove it. 

 Push the new USB jack cover back into the 

same position.

If the USB jack cover has come off, you can put it 

back on by pushing it back into the same position 

as that shown in Figure .
