If you love to listen to the radio while exercising, the Sony Armband Walkman is for you. This is a small, compact walkman that’s really light--you’ll barely notice it’s there while you’re walking, running or cycling. You can listen to AM and FM stations and even local VHF TV channels, as well as take advantage of a whole host of features such as a stopwatch and timer function that makes it great for athletes. Here’s how to preset stations on your Sony Armband Walkman.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Tune in to Your Favorite Station

Step1
Press the Power button to turn on the radio (Radio On will appear in the display).
Step2
Press the Band button to select a band. Each press of the button changes the band as follows: AM => FM => TV => Weather.
Step3
Press the Tune/Time Set + or – buttons to select your station frequency.

Preset Your Station

Step1
Hold down Enter until the preset number starts flashing on the display (any preset number that does not have a preset station flashes).
Step2
Press Tune/Timer Set + or - to select the number you want to preset then press Enter.
Step3
The preset number you selected will light up in the display to indicate that you have successfully preset the station.

Tips & Warnings

  • If P is displayed when you turn on your walkman, press Mode until the P disappears.
  • Hold down the Tune/Time Set + or – buttons to change frequency rapidly.
  • Cancel preset mode at any time by pressing the Mode button.
  • If you want to change a preset station, just repeat the above steps while tuning into the new station.
  • You can preset up to 30 stations (5 TV stations, 5 weather stations, 5 AM stations and 15 FM stations).
  • Keep the noise level on your walkman low enough that you can still hear what’s going on around you—especially if you’re exercising near roads.
  • Sony advises that you should remove your headphones immediately if there is lightning in the area while you’re using the walkman.
  • While this product is designed so that it can be safely used during wet weather, it’s still important that you minimize contact with water.
