 If the Power/Charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is 
connected to the wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is 
temporarily stopped because the temperature is outside the recommended range. 
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 to 30°C (50ºF to 86ºF).
 The battery pack may not be effectively charged if the terminal section of the 
battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a cotton 
swab to clean the terminal section of the battery.
 Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If 
malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall 
outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.
 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).
