Charging your device
You can charge your device from a wall socket or computer. You can still use your device while charging.
If the battery is depleted, it may take up to 10 minutes for your device to respond to the charging. During this time, the screen may remain completely dark, not showing the charging icon. It can take couple of hours for a completely drained battery to be fully charged. Charging speed may be affected by ambient temperature.
Always use the Sony-branded charger and USB cable, since other types of chargers and USB cables may pose increased safety risks.
