How to use
Wearing the headphones (see fig. )

There is a tactile dot on the unit marked to distinguish the left side.
Tactile dot
Using the supplied cord adjuster (see fig. )
You can adjust the cord length by winding the cord (see fig. -) on the cord adjuster
and then push the cord into the slot hole to secure in place (see fig. -).
(The cord can be wound on the cord adjuster up to 50 cm. If you wind more, the cord
comes off from the cord adjuster easily.)
Note
Do not wind the plug or split section of the cord, as it will strain the cord and may cause
a wire break.
Using the cord slider (see fig. -)
Move up and down to change the split position of the cord.
Using the volume control (see fig. -)
Rotate up to increase the volume, or down to decrease.
Installing the earbuds correctly (see fig. )
If the earbuds do not fit your ears correctly, low-bass sound may not be heard. To enjoy
better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size, or adjust the earbuds position to
sit on your ears comfortably and fit your ears snugly.
If the earbuds do not fit your ears, try another size. Confirm the size of the earbuds by
checking the color inside (see fig. -).
When you change the earbuds, install them firmly on the headphones to prevent the
earbud from detaching and remaining in your ear.

To attach an earbud (see fig. -)
Push the parts inside of the earbud into the headphone until the projecting part of the
headphone is fully covered.

Precautions
Please keep your headphones clean at all times especially inside the rubber earbud.
(see fig. )
If any dust or ear wax is inside the earbud, you may experience some listening
difficulties.
Listening with headphones at high volume may affect your hearing. For traffic safety,
do not use while driving or cycling.
The earbuds may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use.
Install the earbuds firmly onto the headphones. If an earbud accidentally detaches and
is left in your ear, it may cause injury.
Note on static electricity
In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a result
of static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction of the headphones.
The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.
Optional replacement earbuds can be ordered from your nearest Sony dealer.
