Additional
Information
Precautions
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.
On the unit
· Do not drop the unit or give a
shock to the unit, or it may cause
a malfunction.
· 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.
· The LCD display may become
hard to see or slow down when
using the unit at high
temperatures (above 40°C/104°F)
or at low temperatures (below
0°C/32°F). At room temperature,
the display will return to its
normal operating condition.
· If the unit has not been used for
long, set it in the playback mode
to warm up for a few minutes
before inserting a tape.
On tapes longer than 90
minutes
We do not recommend the use of
tapes longer than 90 minutes except
for a long continuous playback.
They are very thin and tend to be
stretched easily.
On headphones/earphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones
while driving, cycling, or operating
any motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal
in some areas. It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your
headphones/earphones at high
volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme
caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Do not use headphones/earphones
at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud and
extended play. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate
level. This will allow you to hear
outside sounds and to be
considerate to the people around
you.
Maintenance
To clean the tape head and
path
Use the cleaning cassette CHK-1W
(not supplied) every 10 hours of use.
Note
· Use only the recommended cleaning
cassette.
To clean the exterior
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened
with water. Do not use alcohol,
benzine or thinner.
Note
· Clean the headphones/earphones
plug periodically.
Troubleshooting
The volume cannot be turned up.
· If "
" appears for AVLS display,
press SET so that "
" disappears.
The unit does not operate at all.
· HOLD is activated. Deactivate
HOLD.
The sound is unstable or no
audio.
· Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries
properly.
· Replace all batteries if they are
weak.
The display shows incorrect
information.
· The batteries are weak. Replace
the batteries with new ones.

hard to see or slow down when
using the unit at high

volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings.

level. This will allow you to hear
outside sounds and to be
considerate to the people around
you.
