Sony CCD-FX228 - Manual (Page 30)

Precautions
Camcorder
• Operate the camcorder on 6.0 V (battery pack) or 7.5 V
(AC power adaptor).
• For AC operation, use only the accessories
recommended in this manual.
• Should any solid object or liquid get inside the casing,
unplug the camcorder and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Avoid rough handling, mechanical shock, or dropping
the camcorder. Be particularly careful with the lens.
• Keep the POWER switch set to OFF when not using the
camcorder.
• Do not wrap up the camcorder and operate it since heat
may build up internally.
• Keep the camcorder away from strong magnetic fields or
mechanical vibration.
• When the camcorder is not to be used for a long
time, disconnect the power source and remove the
tape.
Periodically turn on the power, operate the camera and
player sections and play back a tape for about three
minutes.
AC Power Adaptor
• The AC power cord should be changed only at a
qualified service shop.
• TTie nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the bottom.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off. A negligible amount of
electric current will flow into the AC power adaptor
even with the selector in the center position.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not to be
used for a long time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out
by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not operate the unit if it is dropped or damaged or if
its cord is damaged.
• Always keep the metal contacts clean.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• While the unit is in use, particularly during charging,
keep it away from AM receivers and video equipment
because it will disturb AM reception and video
operation.
