Precautions

On charging

•The supplied charging stand can be used only with this unit. No other model can be charged using this stand.

•Remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet as soon as possible after the rechargeable battery has been charged. Overcharging may damage the rechargeable battery.

•The charging stand and the rechargeable battery may become warm during charging, but this is not a problem.

•Do not tear off the film on the rechargeable battery.

•Use only the supplied charging stand to charge the supplied rechargeable battery.

•Be sure not to short-circuit the battery. When you carry it with you, use the supplied carrying case. If you are not using the case, do not carry the battery with other metallic objects such as keys, rings in your pocket.

•If the rechargeable battery is new or has not been used for a long time, it may not be charged completely until you use it several times.

On batteries•Do not charge a dry battery.

•Do not carry the dry or rechargeable batteries with coins or other metallic objects. It can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the batteries are accidentally contacted by a metallic object.

•When you do not use the Walkman for a long time, remove the battery to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.
