Notes
• Up to four batteries can be charged at once with the supplied battery charger. The charging
time for the batteries varies according to the number of batteries at the same time.
- When charging one or two rechargeable batteries in the battery charger : Approx 90 minutes
(high-speed charging mode)
- Other than above : Approx 180 minutes
• During charging, the charger and the batteries become slightly warm. This is not a
malfunction.
• Be sure to unplug the charger when it is not being used.
• Do not use or leave the charger near heating components, hot areas exposed to direct sunlight,
or damp areas.
• The charging indicator may turn off sooner than usual when charging batteries that have not
been completely discharged.
• The rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries should be replaced with new ones when they
last only half the expected time when fully charged. Purchase Sony R6 (size AA) rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (NH-AA). You can order the batteries from the store where you
purchased this unit, or at your nearest Sony dealer.
• This power unit is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.

nickel-metal hydride batteries (NH-AA, NH-AAA). Never attempt to charge other types of
rechargeable batteries or dry-cell batteries. Using them in combination with other batteries
may cause leakage, overheating and explosion.
