When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 ºF and 86 ºF).• The charge lamp may flash quickly when the battery pack is used for the first time, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time. In such cases, remove the battery pack and re-insert it, and then charge the battery pack.• Do not try to charge the battery pack again right after it has been charged, or when it has not been used after being charged. Doing so will affect the performance of the battery pack.• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket).• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied) and AC Adaptor (supplied).xCharging timeThe charging time is approximately 280 min. using the AC Adaptor (supplied).• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F).
