•When using the unit on AC power, we recommend that you remove the dry batteries to avoid possible battery leakage.

•When the AC power adaptor is not to be used for a long period of time, be sure to unplug it both from the DC IN 6V jack and from the wall outlet.

•Do not remove the lithium battery even when operating the unit on house current, as it serves as backup power for the memory.

•If power from the AC power adaptor is disrupted due to power interruption, etc., the unit switches to battery power when available.

•Use only the supplied Sony AC power adaptor. Using any other adaptor may cause damage to the unit.

Power Sources

The unit cannot be played on manganese batteries. Use only alkaline batteries.

Installing the Lithium Battery for Clock Backup

(see Fig. A)

1Insert a pointed object into the hole beside the lithium battery compartment to eject the tray.

2Place the lithium battery CR 2025 on the tray with the e side facing up, and slide the tray into the compartment until you hear a click.

Note

The lithium battery is only for clock backup. The unit cannot play a CD or the radio unless it is powered by alkaline batteries or the AC power adaptor.

Replacing the lithium battery

The battery life of the backup lithium battery is 3 months when both the alkaline batteries or house current are not connceted. The lithium battery will last longer with these power sources, since either source will supply power for clock backup as well. If the clock flashes “AM 12:00” when you replace the alkaline batteries, the lithium battery is exhausted. Replace the lithium battery.

Reset the clock and the station presets if needed.

Installing Alkaline Batteries (see Fig. B)

1Slide the battery compartment lid in the direction of the arrow and lift it up.

2Install four LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries with correct polarity.

Insert the batteries with the polarity as shown in the diagram at the bottom of the unit. Be sure

to insert the batteries from the E terminal (see Fig. B-A).Battery lifeUsing Sony alkaline LR6 (size AA)

CD (ESP on)	Approx. 7 hours
Radio	Approx. 17 hours

Replacing batteries

•When the batteries become weak, “E” flashes in the display. When the batteries are exhausted, “E” stops flashing and remains in the display. Replace all the four batteries with new alkaline batteries of the same kind.

•When “E” is lit in the display, the unit stops all operation. Only the clock display will appear in the display.

After replacing the batteries, press CDu or RADIO•SLEEP so that “E” disappears in the display.

When the battery compartment lid becomes detached (see Fig.C)

The battery compartment lid is designed to become detached if opened with excessive force. In such a case, reattach it as shown in the illustration.

Note

When the unit is not being used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Using House Current

Connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN 6V jack, and plug it into a wall outlet.

Be sure to plug in the adaptor securely to both the DC IN 6V jack and to the wall outlet. The unit automatically switches to external power even with the batteries inserted.

•Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (a rug, a blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain) which might block the ventilation holes.

•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the unit, unplug (or remove batteries from) the unit and have it checked by a qualified personnel before operating it further.

•When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.

•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

If you have any question, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on HeadphonesRoad safety

Do not use headphones 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 at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones 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 people around you.
