• The status bar within the battery icon in the
display shows the charging status.
• Charging (0°C - 45°C) is complete when the
battery icon displays all bars and is no longer
blinking.
• Full charging can take up to approx. 3 hours, but
may vary depending on certain conditions, (e.g. if
your phone is switched on or temperature is
outside the operating range.)
• When your battery pack is completely empty, it
can take some time until the battery icon appears
when charging.
• As an energy-saving measure, disconnect the
charger from the mains socket and from the
phone after charging.
• On exposure to high temperatures your battery
may expand slightly. This has no influence on
your safety/health and will reduce in size once reexposed to a lower temperature.
• Use only the Sony-specified CMD-J7/J70 battery
pack and charger.
• Disposal advice: Take special care in the disposal
of the battery, using special facilities where
available.
