Notes on using the unit
To avoid the deterioration of
the water resistant

malfunction of the unit and
“WALKMAN”
Do not leave a “WALKMAN” in the unit when
not in use. Restore the WM-PORT plug in the
WM-PORT plug storage space securely.
Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
mechanical shock. Deformation or damage may
cause deterioration of the water resistant
performance. It is recommended to consult
your nearest Sony dealer or Sony Service
Center in the event of impact to the unit.
Do not insert foreign objects or pointed objects
in a hole of the speaker or operating sheet.
Damage to the surface of the speaker inside
may cause deterioration of water resistant
performance.
When closing the unit cover, be careful not to
allow sand, hair, dust or other minute dirt to
keep the cover from closing properly. If the
cover is not closed completely water resistant
performance may deteriorate and may cause a
malfunction of the unit as a result of water
entering the unit.
Do not store the unit in a bag that contains a
pointed object. Damage to the operating sheet
may cause deterioration of the water resistant
performance.
If you use the unit outdoors, be careful not to
allow sand or other minute dirt to enter the
speaker holes, which may cause a malfunction
of the unit.
Notes on usage environment

temperatures may become high. Also, if you use
the unit in such locations, after use, be sure to
open the unit cover to cool the unit before closing.
Never place the unit at the following places.
The unit may become discolored, distorted or
damaged.
– Exposed to high temperature, such as in a car
parked in the sun or under direct sunlight

Never leave the unit exposed to high
temperature for many hours. If you use in such
an environment, cover with a towel, etc.
Do not blow hot air from a hair dryer, etc., on

Especially in cold regions, leaving moisture on
its surface may cause the unit to freeze and
malfunction. Be sure to wipe off the moisture
after using the unit.
