• Do not charge any other batteries except 

the Sony nickel hydride battery using the 
supplied battery charger. If you charge 
other types of battery (manganese, 
alkaline, lithium, ni-cd batteries, etc.), 
this may cause leakage, explosion, or 
overheating of the battery, and personal 
scald or injury may be caused.

• Do not recharge a fully charged nickel 

hydride battery. This may cause leakage, 
explosion, or overheating of the battery.

• When charging a high capacity battery 

other than the supplied battery using the 
supplied battery charger, the full capacity 
of the battery may not be available.

• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, the 

battery may cause a malfunction if an 
unspecified battery was inserted. First, 
verify that the battery is specified for use 
with the charger. If the battery is 
specified for use with the charger, remove 
all the batteries from the battery charger, 
insert other batteries, such as new ones, 
and check that the battery charger works 
properly. When the battery charger works 
properly, the batteries may be the cause 
of the malfunction.
