• Before opening or closing the cassette holder, be sure to wipe
off water, dust or sand on the exterior of the Walkman. (The
Walkman is not water-resistant with the cassette holder open.)
• Since water in the headphones/ earphones jack may cause rust,
cover it with the attached rubber cap when the headphones/
earphones are not in use.
• Since the Walkman is airtight, you may not be able to open the
cassette holder because of sudden change in air pressure inside
the Walkman, which happens after being transported on a
plane or moving from a warm place to a cold place. To open the
cassette holder see “Troubleshooting”.
• The supplied headphones/ earphones are not meant to be
immersed in water or come in continuous contact with water. If
they are accidentally dropped into water or get wet, dry them
with a soft cloth. Never use an electric hair dryer.
• If the Walkman or the headphones/ earphones are immersed in
salt water, be sure to wash them in non-running fresh water.
Never wash them under running water, and never use soap or
detergent.
