Notes on using the battery charger and battery
Charging
• Do not charge any batteries other than Sony Nickel-Metal Hydride
rechargeable batteries.
If you use manganese, alkaline, or similar batteries, they make leak or
explode.

• Insert the batteries into the battery charger compartment properly.
If the batteries are not inserted properly, the terminals of the battery
charger may be damaged, or the batteries may not charge properly.
• Before using the batteries for the first time, be sure that they are fully
charged beforehand.
• After batteries have been fully charged, quickly remove them from the
charger. If you allow them to remain in the charger for a long time, the
performance of the batteries may deteriorate.
• Just after the charging lamp goes out, the batteries are still hot. Be
careful.
• To obtain the best performance from the batteries, use up the charge
completely, and then recharge them fully, repeating this process several
times.
• When you buy batteries, or when they haven't been used for a long time,
the charge they hold may be less than expected. This is a characteristic of
such batteries. However, if you use up the charge completely, and then
recharge them, after a few times, they will again accept a full charge.
Temperature of the charging environment
To maximize charging capability, charge the batteries where the ambient
temperature is between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). If the ambient
temperature is outside the range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F), the
batteries may not charge efficiently.
