Precautions

On Using the Battery Pack

❑

Do not leave the battery pack in temperatures above 140°F (60°C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct
sunlight.

❑

Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low temperatures.

❑

Charge the batteries at temperatures between 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging
time.

❑

This computer is designed to operate only with genuine Sony batteries.

❑

While the battery is in use or being charged, the battery pack heats up. This is normal and is not cause for concern.

❑

Keep the battery pack away from all sources of heat.

❑

Keep the battery pack dry.

❑

Do not open or try to disassemble the battery pack.

❑

Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.

❑

If you are not using the computer for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack from the computer to prevent
damage to the battery.

❑

If, after fully charging the battery pack, the battery power is still low, the battery pack may be reaching the end of its life
and should be replaced.

❑

You do not need to discharge the battery before recharging.

❑

If you have not used the battery pack for a considerable amount of time, recharge the battery.
