bag, for example, and keep it away from metal objects
during transport or storage.
• The battery will slowly discharge, even when the unit is
turned off. Remove the battery from the unit before
extended periods of disuse.
Charging the Battery
• Be sure to charge the battery before using the unit for the
first time.
• A charged battery will slowly discharge, even when it is
not in use. Be sure to charge the battery before each use
to ensure safe operation.
Use the BC-DWX1 battery charger to charge the battery
while it is inserted in the unit.
Insert the unit fully into the charging port on the BC-
DWX1.
For details on charging, refer to the BC-DWX1 battery
charger’s operating instructions.
Charging time
Fully charging a fully discharged NP-BX1 rechargeable
battery pack (supplied) inserted in the unit in an ambient
temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) will take about 3 hours.
The charging time may be longer depending on your
operating environment. In addition, battery packs that have
not been used for extended periods may take longer to
charge.
When you are in a hurry
If necessary, devices can be removed from the unit before
they are fully charged. However, their usable durations
will vary depending on how long they were charged.
• If you insert the unit into the BC-DWX1 while the unit
is turned on, the unit will turn off, but charging will still
occur. The unit will remain turned off, even after you
remove it from the BC-DWX1.
• Proper charging may not be possible if the battery
terminals or the unit’s charging terminals are dirty. In
such cases, wipe the terminals with a dry cloth or cotton
swab. When doing so, make sure that the unit is turned
off, and never touch the terminals directly with your
hands.
• Always use genuine Sony lithium-ion batteries.
Remaining battery indicator
Indicates the remaining battery charge.
Replace the battery with a charged battery when the
remaining battery indicator starts to blink.
• If you intend to use the unit continuously for an extended
period, we recommend replacing the battery with a fully
charged battery.
• The indicator may not be correct depending on your
operating environment.
• The unit is designed to operate for at least 30 minutes
after the remaining battery indicator starts to blink, but it
may operate for longer in optimal environments.
