 Choose the best fitting Swimming earbuds

• 

There are 4 different sizes of Swimming earbuds (S/M/L/LL) supplied inside the 

box.

• 

For swimming, choose a size slightly tighter than the standard-type.

• 

Your ears may require different sized earbuds as not all ears are the same.  

For example: left side medium size – right side large size.



 Attach Swimming earbuds to your Walkman

• 

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.



 Fit your Walkman into your ears firmly

Follow the procedures below and fit your Walkman into your ears firmly:

1

  Place your Walkman so that the earbuds fit in your right and 

left ears snugly.

2

  Turn the headphones part of your Walkman clockwise-

counterclockwise to find the best position.

• 

Fit your Walkman into your ears 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

You can place your Walkman more firmly 

into your ears by using the supplied 

adjustment band.

Taking your Walkman off

Gently move your Walkman up and down to take it off your 

ears. 

Note

Removing the Walkman suddenly when the earbuds are fitted firmly in 
your ears may cause damage to your ears or eardrums, or the earbuds 
may remain in your ears.

Maintenance

Clean the earbuds and your Walkman after every use as follows. 

• 

If your Walkman is left with salt and sand unremoved, the metal terminals may 

rust or foreign substances may build up. This may result in your Walkman not 

charging properly or not being recognized by a computer.

• 

If tanning oil or sunscreen gets onto your Walkman, wash it off using lukewarm 

water. Otherwise, it may cause discoloration or damage such as cracks to occur.

• 

The build up of foreign substances such as earwax etc. in the headphone 

sections may cause deteriorated sound quality or sound loss. 



 After use in the ocean, wash your Walkman with fresh water such as tap 

water to remove salt and sand.



 While immersing it in fresh water, gently shake 

your Walkman about 20 times and then soak it 

for about 30 minutes.



 Remove the earbuds from your Walkman, and 

then wash them by hand using a mild 

detergent solution.
After washing the earbuds, dry them well.



 Rinse the terminals and mesh sheet of your Walkman with gentle running 

tap water.
If the terminals and mesh sheet are not clean, wet a soft brush such as a 

toothbrush with water and clean them.

Notes on using your Walkman

• 

The earbuds create a seal in your ear canal. Thus, there is a risk of damage to 

your ears or eardrums if strong pressure is applied to the earbuds, or the 

earbuds are removed suddenly from your ears. Due to this risk, do not do 

vigorous exercise, dive into a swimming pool, etc., while wearing your 

Walkman.

• 

Do not pour hot water directly on your Walkman and do not blow hot air from a 

hair dryer, etc., directly on the Walkman. Never use the Walkman in high 

temperature locations such as in saunas or near a stove.

• 

Do not use or leave your Walkman in the following types of environment:

– in high temperature locations with a temperature above 45 °C (113 °F) such as 

under the blazing sun, in a car, in warm water or other high temperature and 

high humidity locations

– in a cold locations with a temperature below –5 °C (23 °F)

• 

If you cannot avoid using your Walkman in a location exposed to direct 

sunlight, cover your Walkman with a towel, etc.

• 

The sound volume is lower with Swimming earbuds than with standard-type 

earbuds. Increase the volume as needed.

• 

When you replace Swimming earbuds with the standard-type earbuds, the 

sound becomes louder. Adjust the volume so as not to hurt your eardrums.

• 

Your Walkman may detach and fall during vigorous exercise, etc. 

• 

Your Walkman will sink if dropped in water.

Ą

Notes on Ambient Sound Mode

• 

When the Swimming earbuds are attached, ambient sound cannot be heard as 

well as when Standard-type earbuds are attached.

• 

Ambient sounds cannot be heard well after using 

your Walkman in a pool or the ocean. Repeatedly pat 

the parts around the buttons of your Walkman softly 

against a dry cloth about 30 times. Then place your 

Walkman on a dry cloth at room temperature to 

ensure it is completely dry before the next use.
