Sony D-NE330LIV3 - Manual (Page 14)

Note on the useful life of the rechargeable
battery and when to replace it
If the battery is new or has not been used for a
long time, it may not charge completely.
In that case, charge it until “Charging”
disappears from the display and then use the
player until the battery is completely depleted
(“Low Battery” appears on the display).
Repeat this procedure several times.
If the battery life is shorter by about half of
a normal charge after trying this procedure,
replace the battery with a new rechargeable
battery.
Note on carrying the rechargeable battery
Use the supplied battery carrying case to
protect against unexpected heat. If the
rechargeable battery comes into contact with
the metallic objects, heat or fire may occur
due to a short circuit.
Checking the remaining
power of the battery
The remaining power of the battery is
indicated in the display as shown below. As
the black indicator section decreases, the
remaining power is depleted further.

Notes
• The display shows the approximate battery power
remaining. For example, one section does not
always indicate one-fourth of the battery power.
• Depending on the operating conditions, the display
may increase or decrease relative to the actual
power remaining.

metallic object.

batteries.
• Do not mix new batteries with old ones.
• Do not use different types of batteries together.
• When the batteries are not to be used for a long
