Notes on charging the battery

  • The charging time differs depending on the battery usage conditions.
  • If the battery life is reduced to about half of its normal life even if sufficiently charged, it has probably worn out. Please contact your nearest Sony dealer.
  • If you charge the device when it has not been used for a long period of time, your computer may not recognize it, or the device may not respond. Charge the device for about 10 minutes, after which it should start operating normally again.
  • Charge the battery in an ambient temperature between 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F).
  • The number of times the battery can be recharged from complete discharge is approximately 500 times. This number may vary depending on the conditions under which you use the device.
  • To prevent battery deterioration, charge the device at least once every six months to one year.
  • Charging is not guaranteed with homebuilt or modified computers.
  • Operation with a USB port extended with a USB hub is only guaranteed when a self-powered USB hub that carries an authorized logo is used.
  • When you connect the device to a laptop that is not connected to an AC power supply, the battery of the laptop is drained. Do not leave the device connected for an extended period of time to a laptop computer that is not connected to an AC power supply.
  • Do not turn on, restart, wake up from sleep mode, or shut down the computer with the device connected to the computer via USB. Otherwise, the device may malfunction. Disconnect the device from the computer before conducting these operations.
  • The device may become hot while charging. This is not a malfunction.
