Note

- When the extended battery pack is attached to your VAIO computer with the remaining battery power low, the extended battery pack status may not be displayed on the computer screen or the charge indicator light status may be a battery error. In such a case, detach the extended battery pack and charge the extended battery pack with the AC adapter.
