� The supplied 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 i 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 caused 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.
Maintenance
To clean the casing
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.
To clean the headphones plug
Keep 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 packing
Any 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.
Additional information
Do not hold the player with the buckle by itself. Doing so may damage the unit.
