On the safety of rechargeable
battery

• Do not remove the battery cover. Removing the

screws will expose dangerous high-voltage
parts inside the battery. Refer servicing to your
nearest Sony dealer.

• Use only the supplied battery charger to

recharge the battery. If it is recharged with a
different charger or under different conditions,
the following may result; recharging at an
excessive current level, fluid leaks, heat
generation, cracking, or fire ignition of the
battery.

• Do not throw the unit in fire or heat it.

Otherwise, fluid leaks, cracking, or fire ignition
of the battery may occur due to melting of the
insulating materials of the inner cells, damage
to the safety valves and mechanisms, or ignition
of the produced hydrogen.

• If recharging does not complete in the specified

time, stop recharging the battery. If recharging
is continued in such a case, excessive
recharging may cause fluid leak or heat
generation from the battery.

• Do not use the unit which is discolored,

deformed or otherwise altered. Otherwise, heat
generation, cracking, or fire ignition of the
battery may result.

• The rechargeable battery contains alkaline fluid

inside, and contact of the battery fluid with
human skin or clothes may damage the skin.
Should an accedental contact occur,
immediately wash the skin or clothes with clean
water including tap water. Also, penetration of
the battery fluid may cause loss of eyesight.
Should this happen, immediately rise the eye
with clean water such as tap water and consult
your doctor.

Safety regulations (continued)

• Do not immerse the unit in either fresh or sea

water or moisten it with water. This may cause
heat generation from the battery as well as
corrosion of the battery terminals.

• The ambient temperatures during the battery

recharging should be as specified below. If
recharging is performed outside the specified
temperature range, fluid leak or heat generation
from the battery may occur as well as drop in
the performance and service life of the battery.
Recharging: 5 °C to 35 °C

• Do not use or leave the unit under direct strong

sunlight, in a closed automobile under the sun
or near a heater. Otherwise, fluid leak or heat
generation from the battery may occur as well
as drop in the performance and service life of
the battery.

• If you notice the unit generating very high heat

or some other abnormality during the first use
of the unit after purchase, do not use it but bring
or forward it to your dealer.

• When the unit is used for the first time after

purchase or when it has not been used for a
long period, the battery may not be charged
fully. Recharge the battery in such cases.

• When the unit has not been used for an

extended period, the battery may become
unable to be recharged fully or at all. To
prevent such a trouble, it is recommended to
recharge it every other month even during the
period in which it is not used.
