the batteries are accidentally contacted by a metallic object.
• When you are not going to use your Walkman for a long time,
remove the batteries to prevent damage from battery leakage
and 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.
• Do not use cassettes longer than 90 minutes except for long
continuous playback.
• 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.
• If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before you
start using again.
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 at 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/C-1KW (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 plugs periodically.
Troubleshooting
The display shows incorrect information.
• The batteries are weak. Replace the batteries with new ones.
The display and the operation are not normal.
• Remove the batteries for 30 seconds or more, and then insert
them again. If this does not solve the problem, remove the
batteries and leave the unit without batteries for 30 minutes or
more, and then insert them again. In this case, preset the
stations again, since the preset stations are erased from the
memory.
