Maintenance information and precautions
Precautions
Camcorder operation
• Operate the camcorder on 7.2 V (battery pack) or 8.4 V (AC power adaptor).
• For DC or AC operation, use the accessories recommended in this manual.
• Should any solid object or liquid get inside the casing, unplug the camcorder and
have it checked by a Sony dealer before operating it any further.
• Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock. Be particularly careful of 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.
• Do not push the LCD screen.
• If the camcorder is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the LCD
screen. This is not a malfunction.
• While using the camcorder, the back of the LCD screen may heat up. This is not a
malfunction.
On handling tapes
Do not insert anything in the small holes on the rear of the cassette. These holes are
used to sense the type of tape, thickness of tape and if the recording tab is in or out.
Camcorder care
• When the camcorder is not to be used for a long time, discormect 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 3 minutes.
• Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust. If there are fingerprints on it,
remove them with a soft cloth.
• Clean the camcorder body with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the
finish.
• If fingerprints or debris make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using a LCD
Cleaning Kit (not supplied) to clean the LCD screen.
• Do not let sand get into the camcorder. When you use the camcorder on a sandy
beach or in a dusty place, protect it from the sand or dust. Sand or dust may cause
the unit to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.
AC power adaptor
Charging
• Use only a lithium ion type battery pack.
• Pface the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration during charging.
• The battery pack will get hot during charging. This is normal.
