Sony Walkman NWZ-W273 Manual page 19

Never use the USB cradle (supplied) with wet hands or with your Walkman
wet. Doing so may cause an electric shock, smoke emission, or a fire, etc.
Notes on using your Walkman
Do not pour hot water directly on your Walkman and do not blow hot air from a hair dryer,
etc., directly on the Walkman. Never use the Walkman in high temperature locations such as
in saunas or near a stove.
The earbuds seal your ears. Therefore, be aware that there is a risk of damage to your ears
or eardrums if strong pressure is applied to the earbuds, or the earbuds are suddenly
removed from your ears. Due to this risk, do not do vigorous exercise, dive into a swimming
pool, etc., while wearing your Walkman.
