About the genuine leather carrying 
case
ˎ This product is made of genuine leather. Unlike artificial leather, genuine 
leather may have scratches, wrinkles, or vein marks on the surface. Every 
case has a unique appearance and color.
ˎ Wrapping the headphone cord around the leather carrying case when 
storing may leave headphone cord marks as the leather is soft.
ˎ When using cleaner, read the instructions carefully and try it on an 
inconspicuous part first.
ˎ Do not use any type of solvents such as alcohol or thinner for cleaning. 
Doing so will cause color fading, deformation or degradation which may 
damage the leather carrying case.
ˎ Moisture such as rain or sweat, or friction may cause discoloration or color 
migration to your clothes, etc.
ˎ Do not use or store the leather carrying case in a location exposed to direct 
sunlight (such as in a car), extremely high/low temperatures, high humidity 
or dust.
ˎ Be careful that your Walkman does not come in contact with the snap 
button of the leather carrying case when you put the Walkman in or remove 
it from the case. Otherwise, the Walkman may become scratched.

About volume operation (Only for

protect your ears when you raise the volume setting beyond a specific 
level for the first time. You can cancel the alarm and warning by tapping 
[OK] on the alert dialog.
*  The alarm (beep) does not sound when connecting a Bluetooth audio 
device.
Note
ˎ You can turn up the volume beyond the specific level after canceling the 
alarm and warning.
ˎ After the initial warning, the alarm and warning repeat for every 20 
cumulative hours that the volume is set beyond the specific level; when this 
happens, the volume is changed to the initial setting automatically.
ˎ If the volume is set beyond the specific level and you turn off your Walkman, 
the volume returns to the specific level automatically.
