Batteries & Battery Charger
A Lithium Ion rechargeable battery or a compartment that accommodates three
standard AA batteries powers your PSP.
When you are not using your processor, it should be turned off; otherwise, the bat-
tery will continue to drain.
NOTE: Remove the rechargeable battery or the AA battery compartment from
the processor when it is not likely to be used for an extended period of time.
To prevent intermittent operation of the processor, the battery contacts on the
rechargeable battery or battery compartment and on the processor should be kept
free from dirt and dust. Gently clean the contacts with a hearing aid brush or dry
cotton swab at least once a month.
If the rechargeable battery is dropped, inspect it for evidence of damage or cracking.
If any evidence of damage is seen, the battery should be replaced.
WARNING: Batteries may explode if disposed of in fire. To prevent injury or
burns, do not allow metal objects, such as keys or coins, to contact or
short circuit the battery terminals. Covers are provided for use when
carrying rechargeable batteries or the AA battery compartment.
WARNING: Power supplies and battery chargers should be operated in an open
area to ensure adequate airflow. While no injury cases have resulted,
components may become hot during normal use or a fault condition.
If the device's temperature results in discomfort or pain when touched,
disconnect the power source and contact your local AB representatives.
