About the differences between the two types of earbuds
To use your Walkman while swimming, note the following and fit your
Walkman into your ears correctly:
Choose the size of earbuds that feel quite snug.
Fit your Walkman into your ears firmly.
Notes while swimming
Do not use your Walkman in places where an inability to hear surrounding
sound would be dangerous.
When you use your Walkman in public or private swimming facilities,
follow the rules of that facility.
Do not use your Walkman while swimming in a river or in the ocean.
Preparations before swimming
1. Select the appropriate earbuds.
The standard-type earbuds ( : black/transparent) are attached when
you purchase your Walkman.
For replacement, in addition to different sizes of standard-type earbuds
(*1), the same sizes of Swimming earbuds ( : smoke gray) (*1) are
also supplied.
(*1) For characteristics of each type of earbuds, see “About the
differences between the two types of earbuds.”
17

Hole
Thin film
Hint : The standard-type earbud has an open hole.
: Swimming earbud has a hole covered with a thin film to make it
difficult for water to get in.
2. Choose the best fitting earbuds (Applicable to and ).
There are 8 different earbuds (standard-type earbuds S/M/L/LL and
swimming earbuds S/M/L/LL) including the ones initially attached to
your Walkman, supplied inside the box.
For swimming, choose a size slightly tighter than your usual size.
Your ears may require different sized earbuds as not all ears are the
same. For example: left side medium size – right side large size.
3. Attach earbuds to your Walkman (Applicable to and ).
Install the earbuds onto the headphones so that the tip of the inner part
() of the earbuds fits into the position on the projection of the
headphones.
Make sure that the earbuds fit straight on, not at an angle, to prevent
the earbuds from detaching and remaining in your ears.
4. Fit your Walkman into your ears firmly (Applicable to and ).
Follow the procedures below and fit your Walkman into your ears firmly:
Place your Walkman so that the earbuds fit in your right and left ears
18

snugly.
Turn the headphones part of your Walkman clockwise-counterclockwise
to find the best position.
Note
Fit your Walkman into your ears before swimming while the earbuds and
your ears are still dry.
Make sure to fit your Walkman into your ears firmly so that water does
not get into your ears through a gap between your ears and the
headphones.
Improving the fit
Stabilizing your Walkman with the supplied
adjustment band (Applicable to and )
You can place your Walkman more firmly into your ears by using the supplied
adjustment band.
Stabilizing your Walkman with swimming goggles
(Applicable to and )
By stabilizing the arrow-pointed part on your Walkman with the band of your
swimming goggles, you can prevent your Walkman from detaching because
of water pressure.
19

If the sound becomes muffled during swimming
Water inside your ears or headphones may cause the sound to be muffled.
Removing the water from your ears (Applicable to
and )
Remove the water from your ears.
Removing the water from earbuds (Applicable to
)
