Battery pack precautions
Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery pack.
Contact with the material can result in injury or burns to the eyes or
skin. Even if foreign substances are not immediately visible, chemical
changes in the material can result in injuries occurring at a later time.
Handle the battery pack with care.
The battery pack may explode or present a fire or chemical burn hazard
if it is not handled carefully.
• Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact with fire or
subject it to extreme temperatures such as in direct sunlight, in a
vehicle exposed to the sun or near a heat source.
• Do not cause the battery pack to short-circuit.
• Do not disassemble or tamper with the battery pack.
• Prevent damage to the battery pack. Do not carry or store the battery
pack with metal items such as coins or keys. If damaged, discontinue
use.
• Do not throw or drop the battery pack or subject it to strong physical
shock.
• Do not put heavy objects on or apply pressure to the battery pack.
• Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact with liquids. If it
becomes wet, discontinue use until it is completely dry.
• Keep the battery pack out of the reach of small children.
• If the PSP
®
system will not be used for an extended period of time,
remove the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry place out of the
reach of children.
• Use only the supplied battery pack or a replacement marked for use
with the correct model of the PSP
®
system.
You can charge the battery using the AC adaptor or a USB cable (sold
separately). For details about how to charge the battery, refer to the
supplied Quick Reference manual.

not inserted in the system. If the AC adaptor is disconnected suddenly, it
may result in damage to the system.
• Charge in a temperature of 10°C to 30°C/50°F to 86°F. Charging may not
be as effective in other environments.
