Battery Charging

Charging time varies depending on how the rechargeable battery is used.
If the battery is new or has not been used for a long time, it may not be
charged completely until you charge it or discharge it several times.  If
the battery life reduces by about half, replace it with a Sony BP-DM10
rechargeable battery.  Do not use any other rechargeable battery.  When
the unit is used on a flat and stable surface, approximately 2.5 hours
(with Super ESP/ESP on) and 3.5 hours (with Super ESP/ESP) of continuous
play is possible.  Charging the battery with the AC power adapter takes
about three hours.  The indicator CHG lights up until the charging is
complete.  When fully charged, disconnect the AC power adapter.
