Battery pack precautions Warnings

Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery pack.

Handle the battery pack with care.

The battery pack may explode or present a fire or chemical burn hazard if it is not handled carefully.

•Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact with fire or subject it to extreme temperatures such as in direct sunlight, in a vehicle exposed to the sun or near a heat source.

•Do not cause the battery pack to short-circuit.

•Do not disassemble or tamper with the battery pack.

•Prevent damage to the battery pack. Do not carry or store the battery pack with metal items such as coins or keys. If damaged, discontinue use.

•Do not throw or drop the battery pack or subject it to strong physical shock.

•Do not put heavy objects on or apply pressure to the battery pack.

•Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact with liquids. If it becomes wet, discontinue use until it is completely dry.

•Keep the battery pack out of the reach of small children.

•If the PSP® system will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.

•Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) strongly recommends using, with your PSP® system, only genuine Sony battery packs that are compatible with your model of the PSP®

system. Using other types of battery packs may cause a failure or an

 

accident such as fire or explosion. Because SCEA cannot assure the

 

safe use and operation of other types of battery packs, the use of any

 

such battery pack with any PSP® system voids the warranty on the

 

PSP® system. All genuine Sony battery packs bear these three

 

legitimate "

" "

" and "

" logos on the

 

packaging. Battery packs that, at the time of original purchase, are

 

contained in packaging lacking any one of these three logos are not

 

genuine Sony battery packs.
