Sony Sports Walkman Radio Cassette Player
(140-1208)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 31157

CLOSING THE CASSETTE HOLDER

To close the cassette holder, set the lever firmly to LOCK.  If you do not
set the lever to LOCK, the cassette holder remains open.

IF THE CASSETTE HOLDER CANNOT BE OPENED

Open the rubber cap, then open the cassette holder.  When the cassette
holder opens, remember to close the rubber cap.  (The Walkman is not
water-resistant with the cassette holder open.)

Since the Walkman is alright, you may not be able to open the cassette
holder because of a 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.

INSERTING BATTERY

Insert two AA (R6) batteries in correct polarity.

REMOVING BATTERY

NOTES:  When you do not use your Walkman for a long time, remove the
        battery to avoid any damage casused by battery leakage and
        subsequent corrosion.

        When the battery become weak, the BATT indicator will dim and the
        sound will be distorted or unstable.  In such a case, replace both
        batteries.
