Notes on Using the Battery
About the battery pack
The supplied battery pack is designed specifically for your tablet device.
For your safety, use only the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack specified by Sony.
Depending on the ambient temperature or how to use your tablet device, the battery may not be charged, or it
may take a long time to charge the battery.
Do not charge the battery near fire or in direct sunlight.
While your tablet device is plugged in and has a battery pack installed, it runs on AC power.
The supplied battery pack is not fully charged when shipped.
Heat builds up in the battery while it is in use or being charged. This is normal and is not cause of concern. If
your tablet device or the AC adapter becomes abnormally hot, shut down your tablet device and unplug the
AC power cord (mains lead) from the AC adapter.
Do not use your tablet device without the battery pack inserted.
About battery discharge
After charging, the battery gradually loses its charge even if it is not used. If it is left unused for a long time,
the battery charge may be depleted. We recommend recharging the battery before use.
If you do not use your tablet device for an extended period of time, fully charge the battery every six months.
About battery life
Battery life varies depending on usage, settings, and temperatures.
About battery deterioration and replacement
The capacity of the battery pack gradually declines through repeated recharging and discharging. As a result,
the battery life may become short or the battery pack may not perform optimally even when fully charged. If
the battery life has become short, replace it with a new battery pack specified by Sony.
If the battery pack quickly runs out of power after being fully charged or will no longer accept a charge,
replace it with a new one.

Notes on Using the Wi-Fi Function
Use of Wi-Fi products may be restricted by local regulations in some countries or regions.
Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. Wi-Fi devices use technology
to minimize radio interference from other devices that use the same band. However, radio interference may
still cause slower data transfer speeds, reduce communications range or cause communications failure.
If both the Bluetooth function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function of your tablet device are enabled, interference
may occur and cause slower data transfer speeds or other problems.
To communicate via Wi-Fi while traveling, you may need to contract with a Wi-Fi connection service provider.
Data transfer speed and communications range may vary depending on the following conditions:
Distance between devices
Presence of obstacles between devices
Device configuration
Signal conditions
Surrounding environment (wall material, etc.)
Software in use
Communications may be cut off depending on signal conditions.
The data transfer rate specified in the specification is the theoretical maximum, and may not reflect actual
data transfer rate.
Actual data transfer speed may not be as fast as the speed displayed on your tablet device.
Communications is not available between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands.
The data transfer rate for IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz) devices may be affected by interference
when used with IEEE 802.11b products. Also, products using IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n automatically
lower the transfer rate to maintain compatibility with IEEE 802.11b products.
When the data transfer speed is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on the access point
may increase the speed.

Bluetooth devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. Bluetooth devices use
technology to minimize radio interference from other devices that use the same band. However, radio
interference may still cause slower data transfer speeds, reduce communications range or cause
communications failure.
Data transfer speed and communications range may vary depending on the following conditions:
Distance between communicating devices
Presence of obstacles between devices
Surrounding environment that includes presence of walls and materials of such walls
Device configuration

Signal conditions
Communications may be cut off depending on signal conditions.
Interference may occur if both the Bluetooth function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function are enabled. That will
result in slower data transfer speeds or other problems.
Large files may occasionally be corrupted during continuous transfer due to limitations of the Bluetooth
standard and ambient electromagnetic interference.
Connecting multiple Bluetooth devices to your tablet device may cause channel congestion, resulting in poor
device performance. This is normal with Bluetooth technology and does not indicate a malfunction.
Video and audio may not be synchronized if you play videos on your tablet device with audio output from a
connected Bluetooth device. This is a frequent occurrence with Bluetooth technology and does not indicate a
malfunction.
All Bluetooth devices must be certified through procedures stipulated by Bluetooth SIG to ensure that they
comply with the Bluetooth standard. Even if the Bluetooth standard is complied with, individual device
performance, specifications, and operation procedures can vary.
Output sound may not be switched between a Bluetooth audio device and the built-in speaker when you
connect or disconnect the device while an app such as game is running. If that occurs, exit the app and
restart the device. Or switch the sound before starting the app.
Sound of apps such as games may be delayed when heard from Bluetooth audio devices connected to your
tablet device. If that occurs, output sound from the built-in speaker or connect an audio device to the
headphone jack of your tablet device to hear the sound.
If you turn off a Bluetooth audio device connected to your tablet device while an app such as a game is
running, the app may no-longer work properly. If that occurs, exit the app and restart your tablet device.

About Bluetooth(R) Security
Bluetooth wireless technology has an authentication function that allows you to determine with whom you choose
to communicate. With the authentication function, you can prevent any anonymous Bluetooth devices from
accessing your tablet device. The first time two Bluetooth devices communicate, a common passkey (a password
required for authentication) should be determined for both devices to be registered. Once a device is registered,
there is no need to re-enter the passkey.
Your tablet device will be detected by other Bluetooth devices, only when it is set to allow detection by other
Bluetooth devices. You can set the time to accept the detection, or whether or not to allow reception after both
devices are connected.
