Precautions
On rechargeable battery and
charger
• Remove the charger unit from the wall outlet as soon as
possible after the rechargeable battery has been charged.
Overcharging may damage the rechargeable battery.
• The battery charger and the rechargeable battery may become
warm during charging, but this is not a problem.
• Do not tear off the film on the rechargeable battery.
• Use only the supplied battery charger to charge the supplied
rechargeable battery.
• Be sure not to short-circuit the battery. When you carry it with
you, use the supplied carrying case. If you are not using the
case, do not carry the battery with other metallic objects such as
keys rings in your pocket.
• If the rechargeable battery is new or has not been used for a
long time, it may not be charged completely until you use it
several times.
• The nameplate indicating the operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior of the
battery charger.
On batteries
• Do not charge a dry battery.
• Do not carry the dry or rechargeable batteries with coins or
other metallic objects. It can generate heat if the positive and
negative terminals of the batteries are accidentally contacted by
a metallic object.
• When you do not use the Walkman for a long time, remove the
battery to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and
subsequent corrosion.
On handling
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,
moisture, rain, mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows
closed.
• The LCD display may become hard to see or slow down when
using the unit at high temperatures (above 40˚C/104°F) or at
low temperatures (below 0˚C/32°F). At room temperature, the
display will return to its normal operating condition.
• Do not use cassettes longer than 90 minutes except for long
continuous playback.
• If the unit has not been used for long, set it in the playback
mode to warm up for a few minutes before you start using
again.

Use the supplied remote control only with this unit.
On headphones/earphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or
operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard
and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous
to play your headphones/earphones at high volume while
walking, especially at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Do not use headphones/earphones 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.
Caring for others
Keep the volume to a moderate level. This will allow you to hear
outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
On maintenance
To clean the tape head and path
Use the cleaning cassette CHK-1W (not supplied) every 10 hours
of use.
Use only the recommended cleaning cassette.
To clean the exterior
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water. Do not use alcohol,
benzine or thinner.
Clean the headphones/earphones and remote control plugs and
