Precautions
Notes on Headphones/Earphones
Concerning 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 many 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.
Taking Care of Your Walkman
•Do not expose the Walkman to extreme temperatures, direct
sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never
leave the Walkman in a car parked in the sun.
•Prolonged use may contaminate the tape head. If sound drop-
out or excessive noise occurs, clean the head and tape path
with alcohol.
Cleaning the head and tape path
•Clean the headphones/earphones plug periodically for
optimum sound.
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the case.
