Notes on USB cable usage and battery charging
•
To charge your device, Sony strongly recommends that you use only Sony branded
original batteries, a power supply and the USB cable supplied with your device. The

pose a risk to your health or safety
Actual charging times may vary. When tested in laboratory conditions, the approximate
charging time for an empty battery is around 3 hours when utilizing the charger recommended
by Sony for your device. Interrupted charging does not damage the battery. Performance
depends on temperature, signal strength, usage patterns, features selected and voice or data
transmissions. The standby time for this battery is up to
498
hours in GSM network; up to
454
hours in UMTS network (the test results are based on GSMA battery life test technology).
