On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If

sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may

malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction

cannot be repaired.

Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD

screen, or the lens may be exposed to direct

sunlight. This damages the LCD screen.

Operate your camcorder on DC 6.8 V/7.2 V

(battery pack) or DC 8.4 V (AC Adaptor).

For DC or AC operation, use the accessories

recommended in these operating instructions.

Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example,

from rain or sea water. If your camcorder

gets wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this

malfunction cannot be repaired.

If any solid object or liquid gets inside the

casing, unplug your camcorder and have it

checked by a Sony dealer before operating it

any further.

Avoid rough handling, disassembling,

modifying, physical shock, or impact such

as hammering, dropping or stepping on the

product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

Keep the LCD screen closed when you are not

using your camcorder.

Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for

example, and operate it. Doing so might cause

heat to build up inside.

When disconnecting the power cord (mains

lead), pull it by the plug and not the cord.

Do not damage the power cord (mains lead)

such as by placing anything heavy on it.

Do not use a deformed or damaged battery

pack.

Keep metal contacts clean.

If the battery electrolytic liquid has leaked:

Consult your local authorized Sony service

facility.

Wash off any liquid that may have contacted

your skin.

If any liquid gets in your eyes, wash with

plenty of water and consult a doctor.


When not using your camcorder for a
long time

To keep your camcorder in optimum state for a

long time, turn it on and let it run by recording

and playing back images about once a month.

Use up the battery pack completely before

storing it.

Note on the camcorder/battery pack
temperature

When the temperature of the camcorder

or battery pack becomes extremely high or

extremely low, you may not be able to record

or play back on the camcorder, due to the

protection features of the camcorder being

activated in such situations. In this case, an

indicator appears on the LCD screen.

Notes on charging through the USB
cable

Operation with all computers is not assured.

If you connect the camcorder to a laptop

computer that is not connected to a power

source, the battery of the laptop computer will

continue to use up its charge. Do not leave the

camcorder connected to a computer in this

manner.

Charging with a personally assembled

computer, with a converted computer, or

through a USB hub are not guaranteed.

The camcorder may not function correctly

depending on the USB device which is used

with the computer.

Moisture condensation

If your camcorder is brought directly from

a cold place to a warm place, moisture may

condense inside your camcorder. This may

cause a malfunction to your camcorder.
