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 battery
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 re-
chargeable 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 fi re. 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 airfl ow. 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.
