Notes on using your“WALKMAN”
The water resistant performance of your “WALKMAN” is exhibited only when the
USB jack cover is closed securely. When you use your “WALKMAN”in a location
where perspiration or water may come in contact with your “WALKMAN,” make
sure the USB jack cover is closed securely.
When you close the USB jack cover, be careful not to allow sand, hair, dust or other minute
foreign material to pevent the cover from closing properly. Even a minute foreign object can
cause a water leak.
Never open or close the USB jack cover when using your “WALKMAN” outdoors, or when
water, perspiration, or sand is on your hands. Water or sand entering your “WALKMAN”
may cause a malfunction. See “Cleaning after use” before opening the cover.
Be sure that your “WALKMAN” is completely dry when you open the USB jack cover.
Do not immerse your “WALKMAN” in soapy water, shampoo, chemicals, water with
detergent or bath agents, hot spring water, or seawater, etc., and do not pour these liquids on
your “WALKMAN.” Do not allow foreign objects such as sand or dirt to get on your
“WALKMAN.” If foreign objects get on your “WALKMAN,” rinse them off with fresh water
at room temperature or gently running tap water immediately, and dry your “WALKMAN”
using a soft dry cloth. When you wash your “WALKMAN,” make sure that the USB jack
cover is closed securely, and wash it by hand without using a brush, etc. Do not wash your
“WALKMAN” in a washing machine, etc.
Do not expose your “WALKMAN” to strong running water from a tap, etc.
Do not pour hot water directly on your “WALKMAN” and do not blow hot air from a hair
dryer, etc., directly on your “WALKMAN.” Never use your “WALKMAN” in high
temperature locations such as in saunas or near a stove.
Do not bring your “WALKMAN” from a cold location to a warm location suddenly. Rapid
temperature change causes condensation, and moisture may condense inside of your
“WALKMAN.
Cleaning after use
If perspiration, sand, or dirt gets on your “WALKMAN,” rinse it off with fresh water at room
temperature or gently running tap water immediately. When you wash your “WALKMAN,”
make sure that the USB jack cover is closed securely, and wash it by hand without using a
brush, etc. However, do not expose the headphone sections to direct streames of water when
doing so. Do not wash your “WALKMAN” in a washing machine or ultrasound bath, etc. Do
not use detergent, chemicals, or wet wipes.
After washing your “WALKMAN,” wipe away the water on your “WALKMAN” using a soft
cloth, and then leave your “WALKMAN” in a well-ventilated shady place to dry. Do not dry
your “WALKMAN” using hot air from a hair dryer. Doing so may cause deformation and
deterioration of the water resistant performance.

Because the headphone sections (see the figure above) are not water-tight, sound quality of
your “WALKMAN” may deteriorate if water gets inside the headphones. If water gets in the
headphones, follow the procedures below to remove water. Do not use your “WALKMAN”
until it dries completely.
Wipe the moisture off your “WALKMAN” using a dry cloth.
Put a dry cloth over the aperture of the headphone, and shake
the headphone about 20 times.
Put a dry cloth under the headphones, and leave your
“WALKMAN” at room temperature for about 2 or 3 hours.
The rubber gasket used in the USB jack cover may become cracked or deformed by
prolonged use or due to use in certain environments. We recommend that you check the
condition of the USB jack cover periodically to maintain the water resistant performance.
USB jack covers matching each individual color of your “WALKMAN” are available as
repair parts for a fee.
For more details, consult your nearest Sony dealer or Sony Service Center.
To change the USB jack cover
Pull the USB jack cover off to remove it.
Push the tab (A) of the new USB jack cover back into the same position.
If the USB jack cover comes off, you can put it back on by pushing it back into the same position as
that shown in the right Figure (.)
