Sony HDPS-M10 Operating Instructions Manual page 15

Hints
• The internal battery charges even when the unit is in use, as long as the AC power adapter
is connected. However, the charge time is considerably longer than when the internal
battery is charged as outlined above.
• If the unit has not been charged for some time, the internal battery level may be depleted.
When the unit is turned on, the low battery level may cause the battery icon at the top left
corner of the LCD display not to appear.
No battery icon
To recover, fully charge the battery using the supplied AC power adapter. Do not remove
the adapter while charging is in progress.
Notes
• Only use the supplied AC power adapter. Other power adapters do not work.
• If you use the unit under battery power at temperatures of 10 °C (50 °F) or less, you cannot
use the unit as long as normal. Normal operation of the unit under battery power is not
guaranteed at low temperatures; therefore, make sure that you connect the AC power
adapter.
• To maintain battery performance, make sure that you fully charge it periodically by
connecting the AC power adapter.
Checking the remaining battery charge
The remaining battery charge is indicated on the display. As the number of
indicator bars decreases, less charge remains.

There is enough remaining battery
charge to use the unit without
connecting it to the AC power adapter.
The remaining battery charge is
getting low, but is still sufficient to
copy several more media.
Connect the AC power adapter to
charge the internal battery.
