Sony Sports Walkman Radio Cassette Player
(140-1221)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 19974

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 Walkman is airtight, 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 BATTERIES

Insert two-AA (R6) batteries in correct polarity.

REMOVING BATTERIES

Notes on batteries

    When you are not going to use your Walkman for a long time, remove the
    batteries to prevent damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

    When the batteries become weak, and the sound will be unstable or can
    not be heard.  In such a case, replace both batteries.

    Replace both batteries while the E indication comes on in the
    display, or all the memories will be canceled.

    Concerning the battery life, see "Specifications" Faxback Doc. # 19976.

USING THE BELT CLIP

With the supplied belt clip, you can wear your Walkman on a belt for
convenient use.
