* The above video camera models may not be available in all countries/regions.
• The sports pack SPK-HCC is water- and moisture- resistant, making it possible to
use the Sony digital video camera recorder (referred to below as “video camera”).
• Usable at the depth as low as 5 meters (17 feet) under water.
• For using your video camera with this pack, refer to the operating instructions of
the video camera.
• Before you start recording, make sure that the video camera is working correctly
and there is no water leakage.
• Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video camera, battery, etc., when
using the sports pack or for the cost of recording if water leakage occurs as a
result of incorrect use.
Precautions on Use
• Do not subject the front glass to strong shock, as it may crack.
• Avoid opening the sports pack in the sea or at the beach. Preparation such as
installing and changing the cassette tape, “Memory Stick Duo” and disc should be
done in a place with low humidity and no salty air.
• Do not throw the sports pack into the water.
• Avoid using the sports pack in places with storong waves.
• Avoid using the sports pack under the following situations:
– in a very hot or humid place.
– in water hotter than 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).
– at temperatures lower than 0 ˚C (32 ˚F).
In these situations moisture condensation or water leakage may occur and damage
the equipment.
• Avoid installing the video camera in a humid place. Installing in a humid place will
lead to condensation.
• Use the sports pack for no longer than one hour at a time in temperatures above 35
˚C (95 ˚F).
• Do not leave the sports pack under direct sunlight for a long period of time. If you
cannot avoid leaving the sports pack under direct sunlight, be sure to cover the pack
with a towel or other protection.
If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm
water. If the sports pack is left with sun oil on its body, the surface of the sports
pack may become discolored or damaged. (such as cracks on the surface)
Water Leakage
If water happens to leak in, stop exposing the sports pack to water immediately.
If the video camera gets wet, take it to the nearest Sony service facility immediately.
Repair costs must be borne by the customer.
Handling the O-ring
What is the O-ring?
The O-ring ensures the waterproof qualities of the sports pack or other equipment.
(See illustration A)
O-ring maintenance is very important. Failure to carry out O-ring maintenance
according to the instructions may lead to water leakage and cause the sports
pack to sink.
Handling the O-ring
Fit the O-ring
Avoid fitting the O-ring in dusty or sandy locations.
1 Remove the O-ring. (See illustration B)
• To remove the O-ring, press it and slide it in the direction of the arrow as
illustrated. The O-ring has enough slack to be able to be removed easily.
Be careful not to scratch the O-ring with your fingernail.
• Do not use a pointed or metal object to remove the O-ring. This kind of object may
scratch or damage the sports pack groove or O-ring.
2 Inspect the O-ring.
• Check carefully for the following. If found, wipe off them with a soft cloth or
tissue paper.
– Is there any dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt, thread scraps, etc. on the O-ring?
– Is there any old grease on the O-ring?
• Lightly run your fingertip around the O-ring to check for any invisible dirt.
• Be careful not to leave any cloth or tissue paper fibers on the O-ring after wiping
it.
• Check the O-ring for cracks, skewing, distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand
inclusion, etc. Replace the O-ring if it is cracked or scratched.
3 Inspect the O-ring groove.
Grains of sand or hardened salt sometimes get into the groove. Carefully remove
them by blowing with an air spray or by wiping them with a cotton wool bud. Be
careful not to leave any fibers from the cotton wool bud inside.
4 Inspect the contact surface on the other side of the O-ring in the same
way.
5 Apply a coating of grease to the O-ring.
• Use your fingertips to thinly coat the entire surface of the O-ring with a small
drop of grease. (See illustration C)
• Do not use paper or cloth as fibers may stick to the O-ring.
• Make sure there is always a thin coating of grease on the surface of the O-ring.
Grease protects the O-ring and prevents wear.
• Fit the O-ring immediately after coating it with grease. Do not leave the greased
O-ring on a table or other surface.
6 Fit the O-ring into the groove of the sports pack.
Fit the O-ring evenly into the groove paying attention to the following points:
– Check for dirt on the O-ring.
– Check the O-ring is not twisted. (See illustration D)
How to check for water leakage
After replacing the O-ring, close the sports pack without inserting the equipment you
are going to use. Immerse the sports pack in water to a depth of about 15 cm for about
three minutes and check that no water leaks in.
Maintenance
If the sports pack is allowed to dry with sea water still in the O-ring groove, salt
crystals form which may impair the O-ring’s functions.
O-ring serviceable life
The serviceable life of the O-ring varies with frequency of use of the sports pack and
conditions. Generally, it is about one year.
Even if the O-ring is not cracked or scratched, deformation or wear reduces its
waterproof qualities. Replace the O-ring with a new one if you find cracks, skewing,
distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand inclusion, etc.
After replacing, check that no water leaks in.
Grease
Use the grease supplied. Using other manufacturer’s grease will damage the O-ring,
and cause water leaks.
Anti-fogging lens solution
Coat the surface of the front glass with the supplied anti-fogging lens solution. This is
effective in anti-fogging.
How to use the anti-fogging lens solution
Apply 2 or 3 drops of the liquid to the front glass and wipe evenly to spread the liquid
out by using the swabs, a soft cloth or tissue paper.
Desiccant
To increase the anti-fogging effect in addition to using the anti-fogging lens solution,
use the desiccant supplied. Insert new one desiccant into the sports pack 1 to 2 hours
before recording. Put the desiccant in the camera mounting shoe rail space inside the
front body. (See illustration E) Be careful not to catch the desiccant with the camera
mounting shoe. Keep the remaining desiccant in its original bag, and keep the bag
firmly closed. Do not return the desiccant to the bag after use, or you will reduce the
effect of the unused desiccant. Use a new desiccant to increase the anti-fogging effect.
Do not leave the desiccant in the sports pack.
O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution
You can obtain the O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution at the nearest Sony
dealer.
O-ring (model No. 3-098-143-01)
Grease (model No. 2-582-620-01)
Anti-fogging lens solution (model No. 3-072-039-01)
Maintenance
• After recording in a location with a sea breeze, wash the sports pack thoroughly in
fresh water with the buckles fastened to remove salt and sand, then wipe with a soft
dry cloth. It is recommended that you submerge the sports pack in fresh water for
about 30 minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions may be damaged or rust
may form and cause water leakage. Be careful not to hit the sports pack with other
equipment when submerging the sports pack in fresh water. When the water
pressure is low and the bend of the O-ring is small, an excessive impact may cause
water leakage.
• If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm
water.
• Clean the inside of the sports pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash the inside of
the sports pack.
Be sure to perform the above maintenance each time you use the sports pack. Do not
use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning, as this might
damage the surface finish of the sports pack.
When storing the sports pack
• Attach the spacer supplied with your sports pack to prevent wear of the O-ring. (See
illustration F)
• Close the pack without fastening the buckles to prevent wear of the O-ring.
• Prevent dust from collecting on the O-ring.
• Avoid storing the sports pack in a cold, very hot or humid place, or together with
naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage the unit.

batterie, etc., lors de l’utilisation du caisson ou pour la perte d’un enregistrement
en cas d’infiltration d’eau du fait d’une utilisation incorrecte du produit.
Précautions d’emploi
• Ne soumettez pas la vitre avant à des chocs importants, car elle pourrait se fissurer.
• Evitez d’ouvrir le caisson dans la mer ou sur la plage. Les opérations préparatoires,
telles que la mise en place et le remplacement d’une cassette, du « Memory Stick
Duo » et du disque, doivent être effectuées à l’abri de l’humidité et de l’air salin.
• Ne jetez pas le caisson dans l’eau.
• N’utilisez pas le caisson en cas de fortes vagues.
• N’utilisez pas le caisson dans les conditions suivantes :
– dans un endroit très chaud ou humide ;
– dans une eau à plus de 40 °C (104 °F) ;
– sous des températures inférieures à 0 °C (32 °F).
Dans de telles conditions, le matériel pourrait être endommagé par une condensation
ou une infiltration d’eau.
• Evitez d’installer le caméscope dans un endroit humide. De la condensation
risquerait de se former à l’intérieur.
• N’utilisez pas le caisson plus d’une heure lorsque la température est supérieure à 35
°C (95 °F).
• Evitez d’exposer le caisson à la lumière directe du soleil pendant une période
prolongée. Si ce n’est pas possible, veillez à le couvrir d’une serviette ou d’une autre
protection.
Si de la crème solaire est tombée sur le caisson, prenez soin de l’éliminer
convenablement avec de l’eau tiède. A défaut, la surface du caisson risque d’être
décolorée ou endommagée (craquelures).
Infiltration d’eau
Si de l’eau s’infiltre dans le caisson, arrêtez immédiatement de l’exposer à l’eau.
Si le caméscope est mouillé, portez-le immédiatement chez le revendeur Sony le plus
proche.
Les frais de réparation seront à la charge de l’utilisateur.
Entretien du joint torique
Qu’est-ce que le joint torique ?
Le joint torique garantit l’étanchéité du caisson ou de tout autre équipement. (Voir
illustration A)
L’entretien du joint torique est très important. Le non-respect des instructions
d’entretien du joint torique peut provoquer des infiltrations d’eau et faire
couler le caisson.
Entretien du joint torique
Fit the O-ring
Evitez de fixer le joint torique si vous vous trouvez dans un lieu sablonneux ou
poussiéreux.
1 Retirez le joint torique. (Voir illustration B)
• Pour retirer le joint torique, appuyez légèrement dessus, puis faites-le glisser dans
le sens de la flèche, comme indiqué sur l’illustration. Le joint torique est
suffisamment lâche pour permettre un retrait aisé.
Prenez garde à ne pas érafler le joint torique avec vos ongles.
• N’utilisez pas d’objet pointu ou métallique pour retirer le joint. Ce type d’objet
risque, en effet, d’érafler ou d’endommager la rainure du caisson ou le joint
torique.
2 Inspectez le joint torique.
• Vérifiez attentivement la présence éventuelle des éléments ci-dessous. Le cas
échéant, nettoyez le joint à l’aide d’un chiffon doux ou d’un mouchoir en papier.
– Saletés, sable, cheveux, poussière, sel, particules, etc.
– Substances graisseuses.
• Passez légèrement votre doigt sur le joint torique pour détecter d’éventuelles
saletés invisibles.
• Assurez-vous de ne pas laisser de fibres de tissu ou de papier sur le joint torique
après l’avoir nettoyé.
• Assurez-vous que le joint torique ne comporte aucune craquelure, déformation,
distorsion, coupure, éraflure, incrustation de sable. Remplacez-le s’il est fendu ou
éraflé.
3 Inspectez la rainure du joint torique.
Des grains de sable ou de sel s’incrustent parfois dans la rainure. Retirez-les
soigneusement à l’aide d’un pulvérisateur à air ou d’un disque de coton. Prenez
garde à ne pas laisser de fibres de coton à l’intérieur.
4 Inspectez de la même manière la surface de contact de l’autre côté du
joint torique.
5 Appliquez une couche de graisse sur le joint torique.
• Avec les doigts, étalez une petite goutte de graisse en fine couche sur toute la
surface du joint torique. (Voir illustration C)
• N’utilisez pas de mouchoir en papier ni de tissu, car les fibres risquent de coller
au joint.
• Assurez-vous qu’une fine couche de graisse recouvre en permanence la surface du
joint. La graisse protège le joint et prévient l’usure.
• Fixez le joint immédiatement après l’avoir enduit de graisse. Ne posez pas le joint
enduit de graisse sur une table ou une autre surface.
6 Fixez le joint torique dans la rainure du caisson.
Fixez le joint uniformément dans la rainure, en respectant les points suivants :
– Vérifiez qu’il n’y a pas de saleté sur le joint.
– Vérifiez que le joint n’est pas tordu. (Voir illustration D)
Vérification de l’absence de défauts d’étanchéité
Après avoir replacé le joint torique, fermez le caisson sans insérer l’équipement que
vous allez utiliser. Plongez le caisson dans l’eau à une profondeur d’environ 15 cm
pendant trois minutes environ et assurez-vous que l’eau ne pénètre pas.
Entretien
Si vous faites sécher le caisson alors que la rainure du joint d’étanchéité contient
encore de l’eau de mer, des cristaux de sel vont se former et peuvent réduire
l’étanchéité.
Durée de vie du joint torique
La durée de vie du joint torique varie selon la fréquence et les conditions d’utilisation
du caisson. Elle est généralement d’un an environ.
Même si le joint n’est pas craquelé ni éraflé, la déformation ou l’usure réduit ses
qualités d’étanchéité. Remplacez le joint par un nouveau s’il est craquelé, déformé,
tordu, coupé, éraflé, incrusté de sable, etc.
Une fois le remplacement effectué, vérifiez qu’il n’y a aucune infiltration d’eau.
Graisse
Utilisez la graisse fournie. L’emploi de la graisse d’un autre fabricant endommagerait
