Charging your device
Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by Sony or an authorised Sony repair centre. You should never try to open or take apart this device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that will void your warranty.
The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending on how long it was in the box before you purchased it, the battery level may be quite low. It is therefore recommended that you charge the battery for at least 30 minutes before starting up your device for the first time. You can still use your device while it is charging.

- Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a computer).
- Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your device, with the USB symbol facing up. The notification light illuminates when charging begins.
