Precautions
On safety- Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the CD player, unplug it and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.- Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 4.5 V (external power input) jack.
On power sources- When you are not using the CD player for a long time, disconnect all power sources from the CD player.
On the AC power adaptor - Use only the AC power adaptor supplied. If your player is not supplied with an AC power adaptor, use an AC-E45HG AC power adaptor*. Do not use any other AC power adaptor. It may cause a malfunction.
Polarity of the plug
* Not available in Australia and some other regions. Ask your dealer for detailed information.- Do not touch the AC power adaptor with wet hands.- Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adaptor, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately.
On dry batteries- Do not throw the batteries into fire.- Do not carry the batteries with coins or other metallic objects. It can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the battery are accidentally contacted by a metallic object.- Do not mix new batteries with old ones.- Do not use different types of batteries together.- When the batteries are not to be used for a long time, remove them.- If battery leakage occurs, wipe off any deposit in the battery compartment, and install new batteries. In case the deposit adheres to you, wash it off thoroughly.
On the CD player- Keep the lens on the CD player clean and do not touch it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the CD player will not operate properly.- Do not put any heavy object on top of the CD player. The CD player and the CD may be damaged.- Do not leave the CD player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock, unleveled surface, or in a car with its windows closed.- If the CD player causes interference to the radio or television reception, turn off the CD player or move it away from the radio or television.- Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this CD player. Attempting to do so may damage the CD player. Do not use such discs.
On headphones/earphones
Road safetyDo not use headphones 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 at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damageAvoid using headphones 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.
Consideration for othersKeep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
On the water resistance- Before unfastening the buckle to open the lid, be sure to wipe off water, dust or sand on the exterior of the unit. Open and close the lid where water or sand cannot fall in the unit, and make sure that your hands are dry. If water or sand falls in the unit, trouble may occur.- When closing the lid, check that there is no dust or sand on the rubber packing around the lid. Then close the lid firmly with the buckle.- The supplied headphones are not meant to be immersed in water or come in continuous contact with water. If they are accidentally dropped into water or get wet, dry them with a soft cloth. Never use an electric hair dryer.- The AC power adaptor is not water resistant. To prevent shock hazard, avoid using the player near water during AC operation.- Cover the DC IN 4.5 V jack and jack with the attached rubber caps when nothing is connected to these jacks. If the inside of the jacks are contaminated with water or sand, rust may develop and cause trouble.
Notes- Since the unit is airtight, you may not be able to open the lid when there is a sudden change in air pressure inside the unit. This happens when the unit is transported on a plane or moved from a warm place to a cold place. In this case, open the rubber cap on the DC IN 4.5 V jack.- To prevent water from leaking in, the buckle is designed to be slightly stiff. Be careful not to catch a fingernail on the buckle when unfastening the lid.
Do not hold the player with the buckle by itself. Doing so may damage the unit.
Maintenance
To clean the casingUse a soft cloth slightly moistened in water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.
To clean the headphones plugKeep the plug of your headphones clean to obtain optimum sound. Wipe it with a dry, soft cloth.
To remove any dust or sand from the rubber packingAny sand or dust on the rubber packing will prevent the lid from shutting tightly, and water may leak in. Brush off the dust once in a while.We recommend the replacement of the rubber packing every year which is available optionally at an authorized Sony service facility.
To clean the strapWipe the strap with a soft cloth moistened in water. Do not wash it.
TroubleshootingShould any problem persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
