Placement limitations

- To prevent malfunction, do not use or store the adapter in locations subject to:

- Extremely high temperatures

The temperature becomes extremely high in a car that is parked in the sun or in car with its windows closed during the summer. Leaving the adapter in a car under these conditions may cause deformation of the adapter case or malfunction of the adapter.

– Direct sunlight or heat sources

Use or storage of the adapter in direct sunlight, or near a heat source may cause deformation of the adapter case or malfunction of the adapter.

- Strong vibrations

- Sand

Protect the adapter from sand in sandy locations such as the beach. Sand may cause the adapter to malfunction or may damage it irreparably.

Safety in use

• Do not drop the adapter or subject it to strong physical shocks.
• Keep the adapter away from TV sets, AM radio receivers, radio tuners, and other sources of radio interference.
• Prevent the connector of the adapter (or the cord) from contacting any metal objects which may cause a short circuit.

Cleaning

• Clean the adapter with a soft dry cloth or tissue paper. If the adapter is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the adapter. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a soft, dry cloth.

→ If the Memory Stick media has been formatted on your computer, back up all files if necessary, and then reformat the media with the CLIÉ handheld. (See “Operating Instructions” for more details.)

- I cannot use the Audio Adapter for a while after I insert the Memory Stick media.

→ If a Memory Stick media containing many music files is inserted, no operations may be allowed while information is read from the Memory Stick media. This is not a malfunction. Wait until either the name of the music piece appears on the Audio Player window or the Memory Stick indicator turns off.
