Charging your Device
Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by
Sony or an authorized Sony repair center. 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. The battery
level may be very low, depending on how long the device was in the box before you
purchased it. 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. Read more about how to improve battery performance in
