camera and store the battery in a cool, dry place.
To use the battery pack up, leave the product in slide show playback mode until the
power goes off.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag to keep
away from metal materials when carrying or storing the battery pack.
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 available time of the
battery is shortened significantly, it is probably time to 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.
If the product's charge lamp flashes while charging, remove the battery pack being
charged, and then insert the same battery pack firmly back into the product. If the charge
lamp flashes again, this may indicate a faulty battery or that a battery pack other than the
specified type has been inserted. Check that the battery pack is the specified type.
If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with a new or
different one and check that the newly inserted battery is charging correctly. If the newly
inserted battery is charging correctly, the previously inserted battery may be faulty.
If the charge lamp flashes even if the AC Adaptor is connected to the product and the wall
outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging has stopped temporarily and is on
standby. Charging stops and enters standby status automatically when the temperature is
outside of the recommended operating 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 86°F).
