your ears.

sound may be distorted or unstable according to the
music (especially the bass boosted part). If this happens,
turn down the volume.

able to enjoy the full volume capability of your
Walkman personal stereo.

*

Open the rubber cap, then open the cassette holder.
When the cassette holder opens, remember to close the rubber
cap. (The Walkman is not water-resistant with the cassette
holder open.)

Since the Walkman is airtight, you may not be able to open the
cassette holder because of a sudden change in air pressure
inside the Walkman which happens after being transported on
a plane or moving from a warm place to a cold place.

the battery to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and
subsequent corrosion.

and the sound will be distorted or unstable. In such a case,
replace both batteries.
