On batteries
•Do not carry dry 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 are not going to use the Walkman for a long time, remove the battery to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.
On handling
•Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows closed.
•We do not recommend the use of tape longer than 90 minutes. They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. This may cause malfunction of the unit or sound deterioration.
•If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up before inserting a cassette.
•For cleaning the case, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.
