On battery life
The battery life is limited. If you use the same battery repeatedly, or use the
same battery for a long period, the battery capacity decreases gradually. If the

replace the battery pack with a new one.
The battery life varies according to how the battery pack is stored and the
operating conditions and environment in which each battery pack is used.

Precautions
Charging the battery pack
The supplied AC Adaptor is dedicated to this product. Do not connect with other
electronic devices. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Make sure to use a genuine Sony AC Adaptor.

the battery pack is the specified type.
If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with

temperature. When the temperature returns to the appropriate range, charging
resumes and the charge lamp lights up again. We recommend charging the
battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to
