Hints

•Charge in a temperature of 10°C to 30°C/50°F to 86°F. Charging may not be as effective in other environments.

•Charging may take longer when the system is turned on during charging or when a USB cable is used for charging.

•USB charging uses the power supply of the USB port of the connected device. Charge the battery by connecting the PSP® system to a device equipped with a high-power USB port. If a low-power USB port or a USB hub is used, the battery may not be able to be charged.

•When the AC adaptor and a USB cable are connected to the PSP® system, the battery is charged by the power supply of the AC adaptor.

Hint

Battery duration may vary depending on the type of content being played or usage conditions such as screen brightness and environmental factors. As the battery pack ages, it will have a shorter duration.

Battery pack life

•The battery pack has a limited life span. Battery duration will decrease with repeated usage and age. When battery duration becomes short or if the battery pack bulges, replace the battery immediately.

•The battery pack life span varies depending on how it is stored, the conditions of use and environmental factors, such as temperature.

Replacing the battery pack

•For safety reasons, turn off the system and remove the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any other cables before replacing the battery pack.

•If the system is left unused after the battery charge runs out or the battery pack has been removed, the date and time settings may be reset. If this occurs, the date and time setting screen will be displayed the next time the PSP® system is turned on.

Storing the battery pack

When the system will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack from the system. Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.
