Do not immerse in water

This product is not meant to be immersed in water or come in continuous contact with water.

•Before turning the OPEN/LOCK knob to open the lid, be sure to wipe off water, dust or sand on the exterior of the CD player. Open and close the lid where water or sand cannot fall in the CD player, and make sure that your hands are dry. If water or sand falls in the CD player, 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 and lock it by turning the OPEN/LOCK knob.

•If the player is splashed with salt water, wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash under running water; do not use soap or detergent; do not dry with an electric hair dryer.

•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 supplied or optional AC power adaptor is not water resistant. To prevent shock hazard, avoid using the CD 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 cause trouble.

Note

Since the CD player is airtight, you may not be able to open the lid when there is a sudden change in air pressure inside the CD player. This happens when the CD player 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.

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 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.
