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.

Installing the Lithium Battery for Clock Backup

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

BottomPush

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.

CR2025Note

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.

Notes on batteries

•Keep the lithium battery out of reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

•Wipe the batteries with a dry cloth to assure good contact.

•Be sure to install the batteries in the correct polarity position.

•Do not hold the batteries with metallic tweezers, as doing so may cause a short-circuit.

•Do not break up the batteries or throw them into a fire, which might cause them to explode. Carefully dispose of used batteries.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

•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.
