Charging time
Fully charging a fully discharged NP-BX1 rechargeable
battery pack (supplied) inserted in the unit in an ambient
temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) will take about 3 hours.
The charging time may be longer depending on your
operating environment. In addition, battery packs that have
not been used for extended periods may take longer to
charge.
When you are in a hurry
If necessary, devices can be removed from the unit before
they are fully charged. However, their usable durations
will vary depending on how long they were charged.

Notes
• If you insert the unit into the BC-DWX1 while the unit
