On charging
•Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.
•If you do not use the player for a long time,
remove the rechargeable battery from the
player and keep it in the cool, dry place. To
prevent degradation of the rechargeable
battery, make sure not to store the
rechargeable battery when it is either
completely discharged or fully charged.
•The rechargeable battery may become hot
during the charging procedure; this, however
poses no danger.
•Charge the rechargeable battery pack at a
temperature between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C
(95°F).
The charging time will vary according to the
surrounding temperature. (If the
surrounding temperature is low, the required
charging time will be longer. This is a
characteristic of the built-in lithium-ion
battery.)
•Because of the battery characteristics, the
capacity of the rechargeable battery pack
may be smaller than normal when it is used
for the first time or after a long period of
disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the
battery several times. The normal battery life
will be restored.
•If the capacity of the rechargeable battery
pack drops to half the normal amount,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On battery
Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of
battery fluid or bursting battery. To prevent
such accidents, observe the following
precautions:
•Install the + and – poles of the battery correctly.
•When the player is not to be used for a long
time, be sure to remove the battery.
•If a battery leak should develop, carefully
and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from
the battery compartment before inserting
new ones.
Moisture condensation
On a rainy day or in a very damp area,
moisture condensation may occur inside the
lenses. Should this occur, the player will not
operate properly. In such a case, remove the
disc and wait for about an hour until the
moisture has evaporated.
To maintain high sound quality
Be careful not to splash a drink such as juice or
other soft drinks onto the player or discs.
