WARNING
Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a
bookcase or built-in cabinet.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the ventilation
opening of the appliance with newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc. Do not expose the appliance to naked flame
sources (for example, lighted candles).
Batteries or batteries installed apparatus shall not be
exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the
like.
Precautions
• Operate the unit only on 4.5 V DC with three R20/LR20
(size D) batteries.
• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct
sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock.
Never leave in a car parked under the sun.
• Should anything fall into the unit, remove the batteries,
and have the unit checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic coding or
spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent
possible damage from the magnet.
• When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft
dry cloth moistened with mild detergent solution.
• Never use abrasive cleansers or chemical solvents, as
they may deform the casing.
• Make sure not to splash water on the unit. This unit is
not waterproof.
• If the attached carrying strap comes off, the unit may
drop. Attach the carrying strap securely.
• Always keep this product out of the reach of small
children. The carrying strap or headphone cord may
become twisted around a child’s neck and cause
strangulation.
• Listening with this unit at high volume may affect your
hearing. For traffic safety, do not use this unit while
driving or cycling.
• Under certain circumstances, especially when the air is
very dry, it is not uncommon to experience a discharge
of static electricity, or shock, when your body comes in
contact with another object, in this case the ear buds
touching your ear(s). The energy from this natural
discharge is extremely small and is not emitted by your
product but rather a natural environmental occurrence.
• Depending on the strength of radio signals, the TUNE
(tuning) indicator may not light up even if a broadcast
is being received. Furthermore, the indicator may light
up incorrectly due to extraneous noise even when a
broadcast is not being received. Use the TUNE indicator
as a reference.
• When connecting headphones (not supplied) to the
unit, use headphones with a stereo (3-pole) or
monaural (2-pole) mini plug. Sound may not be heard
when using other types of plugs.
* When connecting stereo headphones, you
will hear monaural sound in both ears.

safety are located on the bottom exterior.
When to replace the batteries
Replace all three batteries with new ones when the
BATT (battery) indicator goes out. As the batteries
become drained, the BATT indicator may gradually grow
dimmer before it goes out or static from the radio may
grow louder. Although you may still be able to use the
radio for a while in this state, please replace the batteries
as soon as possible.
Notes on batteries
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or mix
different type of batteries.
• When you are not going to use the unit for a long time,
remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery
leakage and corrosion.
• Check if the batteries are inserted in the correct
orientation (
and
) when the radio does not turn on
after battery replacement.
• Batteries have a recommended use-by date for proper
use. When using expired batteries, battery life will be
extremely short. Check the use-by date on the
batteries and if they are expired, replace them with
new ones.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
