With the supplied belt clip, you can wear your Walkman
on a belt for convenient use.

Lift the tab slightly and push
down with your finger to
remove the belt clip from the
Walkman.

Align the belt clip with the grooves
on the back of the Walkman and
slide the belt clip up until you hear
a click, to firmly attach it to the
Walkman.

Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any
motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many 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.

Do not use 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.

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear
outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.

•Do not expose the Walkman to extreme temperatures, direct

sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never
leave the Walkman in a car parked in the sun.

•Prolonged use may contaminate the tape head. If sound

drop-out or excessive noise occurs, clean the head and tape
path with alcohol.

•Clean the headphones plug periodically for optimum sound.
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the case.

If the battery compartment lid is detached by an accidental drop,
excessive force, etc., attach it as illustrated in the numbered
order.

If you have any question or problem concerning your
Walkman, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
